First Track Day - MR2 Roadster - What Do I Need to Know?
Discussion
Hi
So I'm considering my first track day. I have a completely standard 2005 MR2 Roadster in fine fettle. Do I need to do anything to prepare the car?
I understand I need a helmet so I'll be purchasing one rather than renting, any recommendations?
How long are my tyres likely to last? If I turn on up with 5mm on my Falken 412s will I be legally driving home?
I'm concerned I wont fit in my car with a helmet on, is it permissable to have the roof down?
In terms of driving, are cheeky slides a big no-no or are they tolerated if you don't take the piss? Not talking heroics here but the car does like to wiggle its hips in the tighter stuff.
Anything else I need to know? My local circuit is Bedford and I'm keen to get something booked pronto.
Thanks all.
Tom.
