Japfest "Rotary" Track Session

[clive]

Any one on the list not done a track day before? well i have not, done hillclimbs and auto tests, got to get a few track days in before im too old lol, so any tips from the experienced drivers apart from don,t go off track.

Real pleased to see this post John, you will love it.

Personally I always only say "just go as fast as YOU feel comfortable with", thats all you need to know, then the more comfortable you feel the faster and better you will go.

At the end of last year I did a NASCAR track session in America and at the briefing it amused me that the guy said exactly the same as above, nothing else just that.

Hope this helps

^^^ John, you\'ll probably have masses of adrenaline running round prior to the tracktime session. I\'m sure you\'ll be apprehensive (the best way to be!) for the first lap or so, but once you\'ve got those laps done you will thoroughly enjoy it. If faster cars appear in your mirrors, just let them past and enjoy the circuit at the pace you are happy with.

Although I\'ve done about 15 trackdays, I\'ve never done Castle Combe before, so I\'m really looking forward to it, but with some apprehension as it\'s my first time there! I\'ll be looking at some "in car" youtube videos prior to the day to acclimatise myself to what the circuit looks like form the driver\'s perspective. I suggest you do the same as it\'s a good way to learn the circuit. Here\'s a link to two examples I found...

MGB V8 at Castle Combe
RX-8 at Castle Combe
