  • Autocross is a timed driving event where you navigate a course marked by traffic cones, one car at a time, it's not wheel-to-wheel racing. It's just you, your car, and the clock. You'll learn how your car handles at its limits in a safe, controlled environment, and you'll walk away a better, more confident driver.

    Autocross gives members an opportunity to hone their precision driving skills in a safe, controlled setting. We have professional timing equipment to log each run so you can set your own goals and observe your progress during the day.

    The events are set with limits on the number of registrations so participants get lots of runs. In some ways our autocross events are more like lapping events. Instead of getting 4 to 8 runs over the course of a day like an average autocross competition, many members are seeing 12 to 20 plus runs.

    WRR autocross events in Calgary are just for fun, not an actual competition, but of course the friendly competition can be fierce! Who's the fastest? Who completes their run without running over cones? You'll find the day full of laughs and one heck of a good time while navigating around cones set up in a course.

     

    • We do a course walk in the morning before starting the event.
    • After the course walk is a meeting to go over the coming day, rules and some driving tips.
    • Everyone getting their cars ready.
    • Course marshals sending out cars in a safe controlled manner.
    • Corner workers, doing corner worker things.

  • Course design, safety and fun

    Every course is setup with an eye on safety and a mix of higher speed and low speed tight sections.
    We want everyone to walk away from these events with some new skills, new friends and an appreciation for what these amazing cars are capable of.
