Default How is this for a beginners autox layout?

I got this from my father-in-law, who is member of the Jag club. It fits well into my parking lot at work. Just looking for a replicable layout to measure the differences before and after suspension mods.

It almost looks very similar to the layout some magazines use to do their handling test, besides the stalon and Skid pad. I think I remember a magazine it may have been AutoTrend doing a layout like this to guage the handling differences between the ZO6 and a Porche boxter (or something like it honestly can't remember the details). I think that they then compare the gps data to see the ammount of under/over steer of each car and how itaffected the overall handling performance.

You should have no problems navigating that course , of course how the gates are set up and the memorization of the drivers could play a huge role, But it is not too challenging . But that digram utilizes it space pretty good for Jags with an overbearing stature( Heavy cars that don't like to turn well).

I hope overbearing does not refer to the F-body
