One thing for sure is that it is safer racing on the track compared on the federal highway. There are too many unknown factors when racing on public roads. Hopefully, the following simple guidelines will help u enjoy your very 1st trackday
i. Try to distance yourself from the other cars so that u can have a
clear track in front of u
ii. If u see a very fast car approaching from behind, do not
abruptly/suddenly change line, stick to your line and he will find a
way to overtake you. remember u can’t have the racing lines all the
time. You have to be ‘flexible’.
iii. Do not ever challenge the track cars. These breeds of racers have
nothing to lose and certainly are not afraid to die...
iv. Make sure your braking systems are in very good conditions. You do
not want ur brake to fade when a corner is rapidly approaching.
v. Do not overtake when u see a yellow flag waved, and return back
to pit if u see the marshall is (franticly)waving the red flag
vi. If u spin and got stuck in the gravel trap..get out of ur car and
head to a safer place. The marshall will help u to tow ur car away
vii. if u have friend regular to trackday, bring him along as co-pilot.
maybe he can guide u during the trackday
BE CALM and u should be ok!
hope this helps
