I also agree with Will - do NOT go to the GP track until you are truly ready after smaller tracks. I would suggest the following tracks to learn on in order of my preference for rookies:

1- DDT
2- TMP
3- Shannonville (SMP)

The reason why Shannonville is so low on the list is that the surface has seen better days and they patched it with materials that can make the course night and day in different temperatures. Plus the turtles / curbs at SMP are NOT your friends! They WILL send you car airborne!

TMP has by far the most lapping days available since they run their own private open lapping but ... *sigh* ... it's a bit of a shit show depending on who shows up. I was there today and wound up on the track for just one session because I wasn't comfortable with some of the yahoos (read: kids with exponentially more money than skill or brains) out there. I was just trying to bed my brakes in.

I highly suggest attending a track school of some sort. Or be like me and attend almost all of them lol... (I'm just a lunatic).

Cheers.
I've done a couple sessions at TMP, but I'm just aiming to do the GP Track maybe by the end of the summer. But I thought I'd start by doing some open lapping at the DDT thats why I asked because I've seen the schools for DDT but I was just curious if there is just lapping at the DDT.

Thanks for the help both of you!
