was in your shoes not so long ago ... man your gonna shit your self waiting in the pit lane before your first session .. a kind of excitment and fear boiled into one .. but after that it will probally be the best day of your life...

bring enough petrol/full tank and sum you'll get 60miles of diffin
jack and spare wheels
fuses
hose clips
water and fluids for the engine
rain coat and jacket cause its one cold spot
give the car a once over and cross your fingers and hope nothing breaks

tip .. leave your windows down a 1/4 and your heater on full to keep your engine cool and every 3/4 lap take er handy to let it cool,,,cause if it your first time you'll probally have the car pinned in second the whole way round for the morning at least ..

and after that have a good day and welcome to the addiction

i was wonderin that most people use third for most of the track(i think) dont think i would be up to that yet,is second to slow for most corners? is two set of back tyres enough do you think for a first timer?
