Hi

I'm going out on track at Combe on the 6th..

Need a bit of advice as its my first trackday..What happens start to finish because they do sound checks etc but my rev counter doesn't work because of efi, does it need to work for them to do a sound check, isn't the engine held at a certain rpm or something?

That's all for now really.

The most important thing you can concentrate - Is keeping up with me

they just say 3/4 revs

Correct - generally they will look at your rev counter's redline, tell you to hold it at 3/4 revs for a few seconds (so about 4500-5k. It may well be the same person with the decibel meter that tells you initially. So chances are they'll walk round to your exhaust and be none the wiser. Otherwise they'll probably tell you to just guess.

I always put new pads on the brakes and get a set put on when I get home. I'd recommend you take oil with you and make shaw you have plenty of fuel.
I'd also recommend you take your own helmet, you can get open face ones for around 50-100 ponds no probs. if u plan on doing more than one then its cheaper in the long run.
Also remember to use your mirrors as faster cars will come past you and you are better keeping out the way and building up speed over your first few laps.
What I do is 1 warm up lap 3 flying laps, cool down lap and come in.. Check fluids and levels. Then back out again
Enjoy and have fun

Thanks for the advice hopefully they tell me to guess then!

Cars going round faster than me :/ hate being overtaken haha..No I'm joking there will be quick cars out there, I'm not for racing just having a good time and scaring passengers! I have my own helmets thanks..

Looking forward to it!

Thanks, Joe

If it's your first track day do not think you are nigel mansell, take it easy for a bit. And watch quarry corner, it will catch you out if you aren't on the ball!

Joe91

Yeah I won't I'm sensible, seen it catch plenty of people out! Even the proper track cars and drift cars get caught out.

See you there, they will ask for 3/4 revs or 4500rpm 100db or under,
Just take it easy mate, give combe alot of respect or it can bite you on the ass.

Joe91

Will do mate thanks for that.

Having the car mapped next week hopefully before Combe!
