On this episode of The Downshift, Motor Trend's Jessi Lang dives head first into the world of competitive autocross racing with the Chevrolet Sonic. First, she trains with Motor Trend road test editor Scott Mortara, who teaches her the rules of autocross and helps her establish the performance limits of the Sonic on the Motor Trend Figure 8 course. Then Jessi heads to El Toro Marine Base to finally compete in her first official SCCA autocross race.

The Downshift appears every Tuesday on the new Motor Trend channel.
