Of course you can enjoy a tip on an AX course. In my opinion, the tighter the course, the more enjoyable with a tip because you don't worry about shifting and heel/toe downshifting.

One of the local guys AX's a well modified Tip (aftermarket suspension, wide wheels, V710 khumos etc.) I had been running my 911 but it broke at an event so I drove this boxster. Was able to be 1-1.5 seconds quicker than in my modified 911 AND quicker than the owner. Fantastic car. Driving that car was a strong incentive to get a Boxster of my own. In this case, I just put it in gear and let the computer do the shifting.

My previous TIP AX experience I tried using the steering wheel controls. Bad idea. I hated the tip that day. Thought it slow and unresponsive. I've learned since then
