Thank you all for the helpful advice. There really ought ot be an "advice for trackday virgins" doc somewhere .. or maybe there is?

I am booked in at Cadwell on GOod Friday for my first track day. ONe thing I have learnt (from Rockhopper, thanks), is that on the road you go easy for 10 minutes to let your typres warm up. At least, you should do. ON the track you are only on for about 15 minutes or so in a session, so you would be spending a lot of the time warming them up. Tyre warmers were recommended to speed that process up - solong as they are good ones that get hot enough (Diamond are 1200W whereas Motrax are only 600W and MAY struggle). Also, check whether you will have garage space to plugin, or you will need a suitable generator (can hire those for the weekend of course).

I must add, I am not speaking from experience, just sharing some insight gleaned from this board in the past few week or so.

Cheers
Henry
