Auto-X question: finding your way in a sea of cones

[kabel]

I remember my first few events, very frustrating.

As stated, practice is the best way. Walking the course is essential and the more you do each the better you will become at maneuvering through the course properly.

I still remember a major eureka moment I had. After autocrosing for about two years I was walking the course one morning and suddenly stopped and realized I could really understand and see the proper line through the course. It has only gotten better and more fun from there.

It also helps to have good course designers.
