...but pending a successful test/track day tomorrow, I'll be partaking in my first motorsport event on Sunday at Snetterton.
I'll be racing a Citroen C1 in the newly formed C1 Endurance Racing Championship with some friends who make up the rest of "Scuderia Pollo Rosso". It's a new series aimed at being a cheap way into racing with low build and car purchase costs, coupled with very strict technical regs. We'll be racing around the Snetterton 300 for 4 hours with 3 of us in the team.
The closest I've come to track action before is the 2009(?) Imp National track day at Teeside Autodrome- so wish me luck! What words of wisdom can you guys share?
Luckily, I'm a big fan of lists, spreadsheets and preparation, so I've a multitude of timetables, regs, final instructions, etc etc printed and organised. New drivers briefing noted, plus championship specific briefing. Scrutineering will hopefully be completed the day before. I've heard lots of "Just get your min three quali laps DONE"- before thinking you're Hamilton and steaming off after lap times.
Feel free to pop along and say hello if you're local- we're car #110
