track days really arnt about winning or losing mate, you will have the majority of cars come flying past you on your first couple even cars you wouldn't think stand a chance :)

if you do go for it mate get some instruction before you do anything else, it will be the best money you spend all day.

Good advice, 1st thing I do if I do a track day on a circuit I've not driven before is have the 1st 20 with an instructor to get the lines and breaking points that way I can spend the rest of the day trying to perfect it

Stage 1 is a must it's how it should have been when it left the factory IMO it's just a lot easier to drive fast with more effortless mid range power, go and see Paul and get it mapped mate.
