First race tomorrow.
Discussion
Have a good time!
Is there anyone with you whoknows the routine? At my first I was lucky to have a race -experienced mate, who took me through all the signing-on, scrutineering routine that I would have forgottenabout in my excitment.
Then, practice. Drive like a granny for three laps - you've got to do those or else you don't race.
And race time, you won't finish first, but at least finish! No heroics, get the car round and up to the chequered flag. You'll feel as if you've won F1 at Silverstone, I promise!

Thanks guys, well I' dbe lying if I said I didn't try too hard at my first attempt so I spun on my out lap in qualifying but I managed to put it three from the bottom haha. The first race didn't go so well I spun going down Duffus, then spun again at MacIntyres a few laps later and to top it off the wheel nuts worked loose on the front left so I pulled out a couple of laps early.
The second race I reigned it in and pulled myself up from last to econd last on shagged tyres. So all in all I made it a bit difficult for myself but I can't wait to get out again!
