I have an MSV taster session at Oulton Park in a few weeks. Which is basically just 3 laps behind a pace car followed by a 20 minute session.

My GT86 is completely stock, so standard oil, brake fluid, and Primacy tyres. Can anyone give any insight onto what to expect and things to look out for over a 20 minute track session? Should I expect the oil temps to head up to the 130c mark? How well do the brakes and tyres hold up?

I did a track day at Oulton Park, as a guest of Toyota. Apart from a K&N filter, my GT86 was stock. No problem at all over the day. In fact, after 2 track days, TF round the Nürburgring and 3 years of commuting, it still had the original tyres and brakes when I sold it.

If you get offered instruction, take it.
