Is there a petrol station near the track?

Was thinking the exact same thing!

Is it necessary to carry our own fuel in Jerry Cans?

On the highway about 7kms away, Witbank side of Red Star, there's a Petroport

Looks like we could have some wet weather tomorrow.

If you've never been onto a wet racetrack and the thought of that worries you, well relax.
It's not nearly as traumatic as it sounds - ha-ha!!

Sure, a wet track is different, but it's great fun, the speeds are much lower, and you'll learn a lot.
You're not likely to set any lap records, but you'll have plenty fun - probably more fun than on a dry track.

Here's a short clip of two orange 86's playing in the wet at the Z

Omg slow down Andy you are a hazard . Nah just kidding, but you weren't joking about the speeds being lower lol. Does this give the guys on street tyres an advantage over those with semis?

[Freedom]

The first time I went on track in my car was the same. The day started with a very wet track in the rain and then ended up drying completely at about 1pm. That's the way it should be done . It might of been the same day as your video.

So I am kind of hoping for something similar tomorrow.

Mmmm, dunno. Semis have good grip in the wet if they're fairly new, but once they get worn they're a handful.
What is a massive advantage in the wet is AWD.
Subarus and Audi Quattros especially. They're very quick in the wet.
