About the event
Event Description:
Want to put your driving abilities to the test? Looking to enjoy a fun day of autocrossing at a historic venue? Then The Autumn Apex 2.0 autocross is just for you. Utilizing the incredible FCP Euro Proving grounds, our timed point to point autocross is perfect for both novices and experts alike. All years, makes, models, and levels of modification are welcome! We will be running three classes (two competition classes and an exhibition class for cars on slicks) on a fast and fun course layout that includes elevation changes, a mix of corner profiles, and other elements you typically don’t see at an autocross. We will have unique trophies and prizes available, which includes a $100 G.P.E. gift card for each of the class winners!
Do you have what it takes to conquer Gorman Performance Engineering? We are incredibly excited to announce the G.P.E. bounty. At each of our autocrosses we will have a “Bounty car”, and everyone who beats the fastest time set by this bounty car will receive a $50 gift card to G.P.E. that can be used for our services or towards parts from the thousands of brands that we sell. COMPETITORS MUST BE ON THE SAME (OR HIGHER) TREADWEAR TIRES AS THE BOUNTY CAR TO BE ELIGIBLE. THE BOUNTY SHALL BE AWARDED AT THE DISCRETION OF THE EVENT ORGANIZERS.
Compete for the season championship: We will be having a “season championship” across the three events we are hosting in 2024. At each event, entrants in the two competition classes (American Muscle and Non-American Muscle) will accumulate points based on their finishing position (which is determined by their fastest lap), and those with the highest point total in each of the two classes after the final event will be crowned the season champions. Class champions will each receive a $300 gift card to Gorman Performance Engineering. YOU MUST COMPETE IN A MINIMUM OF TWO EVENTS IN ORDER TO BE ELEGIBLE FOR THE SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP.
