Coolant often is, might just need a change. Worry when the mayo appears.

You have to, it's the rules.

Not sure if it applies when they're hidden away

Just use your mirrors, if you see something faster approaching, move out the way

just be carefull and drive to your limits, the last time i was on was at castle coombe with weekend racer. and there was no major incidents when we were on the track, few people spinning but thats it.

Im really hoping its dry on sunday!

you couldnt be further from the truth, its all chavs trying to race against anything and everything, overtaking left, right or on the grass. Ive done it once and hated it, proper trackdays FTW!

But yeah matt, you will be fine

Im only doing trax as it will be my first time. Will be doing some proper track days next year, once my car is better set-up for it.
