The emphasis is on precision driving and of course trying to get through it as quickly as possible without knocking over a cone. If you knock over a cone its two seconds added. If you miss a gate the run is annulled and you lose that turn.

Its the cheapest form of organized racing there is.

The great thing about it is that it gets the desire to go fast out of your system so driving fast on the street loses all its stimulation since you are getting all you want on the autocross course.
