Good advice above!

My biggest surprise the first time I drove on a track was how easy it was to overdrive the car and end up sliding around and actually being quite slow. Over the years, I've discovered that driving smooth is much faster than driving 'hard'. You can be smooth without being fast (and this is where to start), but you can't be fast without being smooth.

You'll have a lot more fun if you stay safe, so brake earlier than you need to at first, work up to carrying more speed through corners, and make sure you're aware of your surroundings - particularly other cars!

Enjoy!
