I came from motorcycle roadracing. Its a rider's sport as well, but it
costs way the hell more than autoxing (though I'm stupidly trying to
narrow the gap by building a cp car... :-) and requires more time
dedication. I'm not the only person I know to make the switch from track
racing to autox for similar reasons.
