Definitely get some tuition, it will help even if its at the end of the day (as was the case with my first track day)

I would say, leave any ego at home, there will be cars faster than you, so don't try and keep up / follow braking distances.

Keep an eye on coolant and oil temperatures. If you feel the tyres going off, you don't necessarily have to come in and rest straight away, a couple of laps at a slower pace refining lines can help a lot in bringing temps down and also help you on the next hot laps to be smoother.

Finally, when you do come into the pits, let it idle for a little, then turn off but make sure you don't apply the handbrake as it can cause seizing with the heat sync, if she rolls, just put her in gear

you'll have a whale of a time, its great fun and next thing, all your thoughts turn to saving weight lol

Oh, and there is a Yeti knocking about up this neck of the woods with full coilovers, cage, baskets and serious engine mods - if you are forced into the yeti all is not lost ha ha
