Received my Bombe today and found two excellent articles contributed by autocross regulars. Eric Ries wrote up his first Cars ‘n’ Coffee event and gave a shout out to the autocross program. Don Louv wrote an engaging article with great photos on his first autocross in his BMW ActiveE.

Looks like the R compounds worked out well 🙂 If you are not careful, someone will start lobbying to move you up to B. 😉

Mark,
Yup the R-Compounds are good.
We should get a few more ActiveE’s out there to see if it’s me, or the tires, or the car. (my money is on the car… 😉

It will be great to have a few other drivers with the ActiveE. We are watching the results carefully so we can adjust the base points for next season. We plugged in the ActiveE specs as best we could to get a base points number but I get the feeling the way we classify gas engine cars does not apply well to electric cars. We will only know for sure once we get a few pioneering electric car users out to the autox so we can compare to real world results. Thanks for the additional work. 😛
