I thought I post this, guys. I stole it from Skullfudge. He posted these tips two years ago. Maybe of some help for some of you. xxx


You won't need to do anything but attend the drivers briefing (at 8.30 am on the day). You wont get a more relaxed event than this.

No need to thrash your car either. Remember most passengers will find it a fast car anyway. Weather you do 2 laps or 20 laps it's no big deal.
Looking at it from your point of view you wont find a opportunity of driving your car on track for free anywhere.

If you have ever wondered what your car would be like on track you wont find a more ideal situation to try it.

Points to bare in mind are:-

1.
It's not a race.

2.
You can only overtake on the main straight so you may well find you need to back off if catching other cars until you reach the long straight.

3.
Drive within your limit.

4.
If you are thinking to yourself "I've never been on track before" .... don't worry about it. You will find your natural limits and you will REALLY enjoy it !.

5.
No need to drive down the straight flat out either. I backed off at 130 ish on most runs last year. It's the corners that the passengers like as you dont really experience speed on such a vast open area.

6.
Keep your eye on oil temps and if they rise park up and enjoy the event
