From my experience, if you cannot afford to replace it, don't track it.

It's not just mechanical failures, it's more likely for some muppet to crash into you.

In saying that, autocross can be a ball, just don't bounce of the limiter or try to be drift king and you will have a ball.

On track days keep checking your mirrors, alot of track newbies crash, into walls, tyre barriers, other cars, themselves, and they lose control in the pits, on the track, exiting the track, corner entry, mid corner, exiting a corner, on the straight.

The amount of drivers who think they are good does not equate to how many actually know what they are doing, know what the flags/lights mean, be nice out there, don't act like a muppet.

Do a risk assessment, if you can lower or remove some of the risk, then risk it for the biscuit.

Do 2 warm up laps, then 3 fast laps, then 1 cool down lap, then another 3 fast, rinse and repeat, look for clean air, it's better to let they quick guys past before starting your fast laps, you might get lucky and get clean air for 1 or 2 laps, if your lucky.

Throw a instructor in your passenger seat ASAP, your first ever run would be a good time for an instructor.

Don't race against anyone, only try to improve your times, lines, braking, cornering, track position, but don't rush it, video footage is good for critiquing after the run, plus LOLS for when you do lose it, you must post so we can all laugh.

Everyone loses it

Do a skid....and have fun
