If they have instructors there, don't be afraid to use them. If it is your first time at the track, do a few laps by yourself first to get familiar with the layout and once you know which way you're next going to be turning, get an instructor on board to show you the lines .

If it is a twisty circuit, don't be worried about a bit of power steering fluid in evidence seeping from the reservoir cap - it gets hot and can boil, which means you get a bit of leakage (especially if you have just topped it right up) and that is normal.

Just pray for good weather, as that will make it less nerve wracking and all the more enjoyable (unless they allow drifting ) .
thanks mike definitely going to do wax on wheels ,, I think we may even have some ceramic coating would have liked to try some chf11 in the steering system. Just haven’t had the time to do it yet. From memory I’m sure it has a wider temp range
