First time i went on track was Croft 07, it was nerve wracking for the first half lap then your fine.

Best advice i can give is dont race your way round,t ake your time to get used to the track, and enjoy the experience, without pushing your limits.

You soon get the feel for the track and speed up after a couple of sessions.

Id love a track car to do more, but a million other things to do instead lol

is a track day a hole day? hos is it split up or how does it go ahead is it groups or just everyone out and running and coming back into pits when tired or tyres are fubar?, some info like this would be great, i wanna get onto track some time next year.

also which tracks are in the midlands area and are recomended.
