Make sure you can pass the noise test. If in doubt borrow some track day silencers. Some tracks, such as Goodwood, have places on site where you can hire them.

Take oil, even if you car doesn't usually use oil. Pads get used up quite quickly, hopefully you have spares if they're not newish. If you're brake fluid is old then it will boil sooner than you may expect. OK - so those aren't Cerb specific, but no harm in reminding you.

Watch out for boiling brake fluid. You should be ok on temps but some tired radiator'd cars can begin to get warm after a few laps.

Are you at Oulton Park? I've only been there once, it was fairly wet, and it seems pretty unforgiving, minimal run-off, lots of places where the car goes light, usually just before a bend...

Have fun!

Proper pads and fresh race grade fluid that has a 300C+ boiling point.

As a local and familiar with the circuit, do enjoy it and be wary of the kink after Warwick Bridge as it is often damp,slippery and has a bump in it too which can lead to airbourne incidents and some off track action which is not ideal....
