Fluid levels and tyre pressures are likely to be VERY important I would say.

Good luck mate


You got any pics of your dad's split ?

Ah, one of my mates was sick on that track - quality!! :laugh:

Aren't there any games you can use to get an idea of the track?

Take a bike helmet, and take out any sub or anything loose in the car. Maybe fit another set of bumpers that you arent precious about...

what game have you been playing?
true crime or gta dont really count...or ragging it round nurburgring in gt4...

I reckon it will prepare you for the corners there, but the differences in gradient at donington park is something you can't prepare for..

Forza motorsport, But if i wanted i could probally nap Toca racing driver off the misses (she loves that game) and race the donnington track on that  :grin:

Its a non compatitive track day, More of a run what you brung day tied into a car show. Although some good laptimes would be nice. Id prefer just to keep safe and not come accross as a total noob in the way of other, more experenced drivers.

You'll get in their way, they'll shout, flash, wave and generally try and annoy you, but just remember, 'the track is full of idiots who can't drive and I must avoid them always' and you'll be ok mate...
