SIC Track Day

[sizlo]

Hey guys,

Newbie here saying hello to all. Have been reading the forum for quite some time but have never reply nor started any thread. There are TTs being held every now and then, i know, but i'm seldom around town which is hard for me to attend.

Anyway, I just got my 2005 DC5 late last yr and was eager to test it's stock performance on track. Appreciate any feedbacks from the oltimer here for tips and requirements. Is helmet necessary? What should be done on the car before going to track? Need any oil or transmission fluid change? How much and how long is the session?

I believe this coming Sunday is a track day.. anybody going?

3. check your tyres and brake condition
4. check your engine oil level, radiator etc
5. understand the colored flags
6. know the basic rules and ethics of track racing
7. bring an experienced friend to guide you in the trac

Lightningfield,
Thanks man. The list sure helps answer some of my basic questions.
Bring an experienced friend.. now that i'm still looking.

Prasath,
I've seen some of the videos. It sure goes to my driving reference and it'll never hurt to watch it again and again. Thanks again!

Just wanna add...
1. Drive at your own pace in the track...don't bother to catch-up with cars that already overtake you.
2. Maintain your cornering line if there's fast car behind you in a turn...in other words, don't change line in the turn.
3. Enjoy driving and control your temper...
