Fingers crossed I will be there, may leave it to 10 days before and look at the long range forecast first.

I'm booked into this - price has gone down from £129 to £99, so I put the difference into an extra tuition session. Going for one in the morning and one in the afternoon to see how/if I improve.

It'll be my first track-day. I've done lots of karting and the Audi Experience at Silverstone, I realise these are very different - so I'm going in to learn.

If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Both in terms of setting up the car and myself.

It's a 25th Anniversary GTI PD Revo'd to 190bhp. Uprated grooved discs all round, Koni FSD suspension/Eibach springs, bigger rear ARB & poly bushed all round.

LOL - don't know about to 'within an inch of its life'.. it has to get me home!

I'll be on my own by the looks of it now, so if anyone sees a black Golf then say hello. The numberplate reads 'rabbit'.

Hmm... talking of pads, I've a fairly new set of greenstuffs all round - Am I likely to cook these with 312mm Tarox G88s?

ive been asking the same kinda question over on the ST forum. Im running standard disks but uprated pads on a less than standard engine (circa 290bhp...).

The general concensus from the forum though is that your first trackday shouldnt be overly stressfull as you will spend more time learning the car and the track, which is sound enough advice really.

cant comment directly but arent the green stuffs the road compound pad? it then goes red, yellow i think in terms of how hard they are i think...
