Oh top tip, don't service you car literally day before track thinking fresh oil etc will be better for it, do it a week before. Last thing you want for example is the sump plug to have a little leak then drive it hard for few laps, drain oil and pop engine or put new brake pads/tyres on day before that then won't be bedded in, people do these things and then break things, hopefully their own car and not someone else's. I do nice mini service week or so before, fresh oil and filter, check brakes, tyres etc clean air filter if its induction kit or replace if standard then potter around, do some quick runs and recheck. I also never fill oil to max always about 3/4s because my theory is without a baffled sump you don't want to risk oil starvation but then with hard driving you don't want to much oil that could cause problems also. That's my little ritual anyway, might be complete rubbish but I've not blown anything up yet, touch wood.
that sounds more fun...... I wander if I could lap a ka. How many laps do you get per run? Tracks normally have those brake signs when its there supercars they don't want you to trash. I've got a good DVD of me driving a viper chasing a lambo at thruxton. The lambo was quicker but got scared at corners because of brake signs, last s bend before pits and I got him. Much to the dislike of instructor sat next to me, you can see him on DVD grab top of windscreen repeating think we need to brake now....ah fun day. Anyway I was leading somewere with this, if your worried about trashing your car due to lack of experience search online for driving experiences, you can normally get last minute ones midweek cheap, and you get an instructor sat with you talking you through racing lines, and how much quicker it is driving smoothly rather than a lunatic throwing car around and best of all its someone else's car. I paid 25 quid for that viper because I was already there playing with Porsche Cayman but nobody was taking viper out and there was waiting time for Aston or lambo so did a deal. And it was awesome thundering around with its ridiculously big engine and wild back end. I've since then drove an Aston and for shear track fun would take that viper back out anyday. So yeah get searching and start playing, guy in work did last minute rally experience few weeks ago for 50 quid! That's completely different though and won't help you on track.....
