I'm off to a track day at Brands on Sunday in my Griff and it's been a couple of years since my last...my check list is make sure the oil is at the full level, tyre pressures another +4?, tape up lights, remove stuff from boot. brakes and tyres are in good nick.....anything else I forgot?

only ever needed the photo part too,

As far as car prep goes sounds like you've pretty much got it covered, checking your brake fluid would be a a good idea, although you've probably already done that.

The admin/paper work is always more of a headache for me! smile

Take print outs of the registration form all filled in, saves time when you're there.

Aso take a copy of your track-day insurance with all the relevant contact numbers (recovery etc).

Take some spare oil and water with you, set of sockets and spanners is a good idea too.

A nice warm coat + gloves, if you dont get a garage standing around between sessions is pretty damn cold!

Sunglasses! Winter afternoons will lead to some low sun in the eyes fun! Never great at 130mph! smile

You DO need both parts, the paper bit has the endorsements etc.

Just curious but why would the organisers be interested in endorsements?

Empty everything loose from the cabin as well. Apply demister to your helmet visor.
