AX is fun and cheap, I dont think its a letdown after a roadcourse. It is slower, but it requires quicker more violent movements and the car kinda gets thrown around more so thats fun. I agree he should AX first just to get a good feel for his car, but AXing and road couses are 2 entirely different games and require totally different driving methods. AXing requires fast hands and lotsa movement, road courses need smoooothness.
