Was at the ring last year in March,did some laps in the rain. I drove within my limits and enjoyed the experience,didnt even think about timing myself.My mate who is based in Germany hosted me, said he went a few weeks later and saw a lad stack his brand new evo on his first lap,not only did he have no trackday insurance but he had to pay for the armco too. My point is just take it easy and get yourself there and back in one piece safely
