Over on the Lotus Talk forum, one of the local members posted what I've pasted in below.
Not being familiar with the specifics of the Autocross events that Mike Marshall has participated in, I can't tell you what the exact differences are, but it does appear to be something different.
Since this event seems to be a little more "free form" than the ones Mike participates in, is anyone interested in participating?

So, here's a new type of event, called “Solo Gran Prix”.
Perfect for DE’ers wanting to get a “fix” locally, first timers that don’t want to have to worry about hitting a wall, as well as anyone wanting to try their hand at a fun, new type of challenge.
For just $99, Solo Gran Prix offers you a ton of runs, approx 20, with timing, on a “mini road course” designated by orange cones. You’ll take turns running the course, then working the course / watching others run. It’s fun, safe and challenging. Thank you to the St Louis SCCA Solo folks for offering this new option for us.
At this point, I need a show of hands of those who would sign up for this event. Would be held at Family Arena in St Charles, in June, on a weekend date tbd.
30 sign ups are needed, this will be posted on multiple forums, but ask around as well. With enough participants, Solo will then set up online registration for the event.

... yep it's an AutoX basically, but the intent is to "straighten" it up when space / safety allows. The big diff / benefit is that you get a TON of runs versus a regular AutoX that gives you 3, maybe 4 runs.
