Trackday Bits required

[Hands Solo]

Hi all,

Got my first trackday next week and we have been stocking up on spares for the last month. We have 4 spare alloys all with some part worn tyres to fit, trolley jack, wheel brace, oil, rags, GoPro - anything else we need?

Apart from a modicum of driving ability of course.

A good quality tyre pressure gauge.

Cheers Trev - hadn't thought of that! I'd best get a compressor pump too...

[Porkie]

Whats the state of your brake pads like?

[gtdc]

Tie wraps and gaffer tape.

[Hands Solo]

Got the car booked in for a service on Tuesday so hoping brake pads and discs should be sorted then if needed. Oil being changed and fluid checked all round.

[playalistic]

Spare fuses, relays and some coolant.

[Trev450]

As an after thought, since you're having a service done it would be a good idea to have the brake fluid changed.

Spare fluids (coolant, oil, brake, clutch, PAS)

Errrr....driving licence, helmet, fire extinguisher, snacks and water for the driver, and do either book some instruction, or blag a ride round with the most talented driver present. You will learn a lot and drive much better.

Most track days ban timing, as it is not about who can go fastest

Yes you are right, I stand corrected, I just checked the terms nd conditions and it seems going fast is absolutely not encouraged.

Glad you live up to your username

How are you attaching your GoPro? They won't allow suction mount so you'll need a rollbar mount or something like that

I'm quietly, the car is too, but only by TVR standards

I found jubilee clips of all sizes handy in case a hose clip or driveshaft gaiter clip goes.

[mrmr96]

you missed:

Chocks for wheels. (Don't use the handbrake)
Torque wrench + socket
Lock nut key
Helmet + liner
Towel / paper towels
Tool bag
Picnic chairs
Electrical tape for lights

Tuition is the fastest/cheapest upgrade.......
