The Car:
2017 GTI SE with PP and 6MT.
The Driver:
Car enthusiast who wants to learn how to actually drive his car without going off the deep end. I might find my way to 2 or 3 events this year max.
The Details:
My GTI is my daily driver and I am not adding a second vehicle. I would like to take it to a few autocross events to better familiarize myself with its capabilities and have some fun. I'm not looking to compete with anyone, just the fun. Right now the only performance upgrade I have is a Cobb AP with the MAP stage 1 tune.
I don't want to swap wheels, pads, etc... before and after each event. I'd like to drive there, enjoy the day, and drive home without killing the car. As wear items meet their inevitable demise I would consider upgrades still suited to daily use but I'm pretty sure I'm the biggest liability to the car's performance at this point.
That being said, is there anything you would advise as a necessary upgrade to avoid certain death right of the bat?
