Hi

I’ve downloadwd and read the SCCA autocross manual and they do not specify which category the 340 is in. I’d guess B or C street. Anyone know which class they get put in?

Also, is an Audi S4 a much better autocrosser than the 340xi? I have the track handling package.

F Street i beleive

F Street for sure. Car must be totally stock with tires above 200 treadwear. With the right tires it'll be very competitive.

Wow, F-street?! Will it matter that I have track handling package (Michelin pilot, updated brakes, suspension, all stock from factory)?

Correct. F-Street for sure. It'll do just fine. I've attached the F-Street 2018 rules (draft-a) and that's where they say you land.

The 340 will be competitive. If you want that extra performance boost that keeps your in the stock class get a square set of 8.5 to 9" wheels with some 245x40x18 Bridgestone RE-71R's. Then you will truly be a threat in the PAX.

Interesting, thanks!

I notice the more recent Audi s4 (ie 2013+) are in B Street. Are they that much faster? Just curious because I almost bought a 2015 S4...

No. Don't read much in the lettering order. F Street is one of the faster classes. I would order from fastest to slowest SSR, S Street, A Street, F Street, B Street, D Street, C Street, E Street, G Street, and finally H Street.

That said there's some outliers in most of those classes. Also there's multiple classes there that can a skilled driver can beat faster classes in the PAX and overall.

In my experience most stock Audi's understeer badly in these events. Makes it difficult to compete vs a more balanced car. That said no S4 has beat me in my 335i.

Again. Not a universal truth though.

Thanks, that’s exactly what I wanted to know.
