Hi all, I've done a couple of track days now and generally have followed the standard advice to come in after 15 / 20 minutes, following a cool down lap, to let everything (and me) cool down. With a drink etc in between sessions I reckon I probably average 30 - 40 minutes parked up before going back out.
I've just booked a 2 hour track 'day' at Donington and will want to maximise track time. Will probably aim to limit the track sessions to 20 mins or so to avoid overheating everything, but how long would people suggest that I let everything cool down for in between? Car is a Peugeot 308 GTi, which has a turbo that kicks out a lot of heat.
Will I get away with staying out for longer but having a couple of cool down laps every 20 minutes or so?

Great thanks all, helpful advice.
Just now need to sort insurance, as per another thread, seems a rip off to be the same price as a full track day and generally would mean there is no point in booking a short session. The 2 hour session is because it is part of the upcoming french car show and they are offering 2 hour open pit lane sessions. Perhaps I should book 2 sessions....
