Absolutely a must do for any Boxster/Carrera owner.
I would encourage you to log onto YouTube and search for autocross and the name of the venue you will be at. Many guys take onboard video. Watch as many of those as you can. Do it over and over again until you can predict whether the next turn will open right, open left or open into a slalom, tight hair pin, if its a four pin or six pin gate. Then move onto another video with a totally different layout to memorize. After a few courses you get the mental rythym of style of driving you need to perform. Being a good autocross driver is a lot like learning to be a rally driver without the co-pilot. The key is to focus in on the next turn and not the turn in front of you. Just like mountain biking and downhill skiing. Nearly all of the driving is done with your eyes. your hands and feets just follow along. the less you fixate on what's directly in front of you the faster you'll be. This is why the videos are great they give you time to develop the visual skill to make up for the very limited time in the car that autocross can provide.
