I'm sure Dek has given you the run-down already, but just listen to everything your instructor says and don't try to 'go fast' or 'race' and you will have a blast. Report back here after the event with your impressions. I always love to hear what a newb has to say after their first track day, lol.

Good luck.
Thanks man. I'm real excited for the event. I plan on listening to everything the instructor has to say; I'm not going out there like I know everything...haha. I want to learn how to drive better and I'm eager to get out on the track to see what it's all about.

Don't forget the DRS detection zone coming out the octopus. You'll need it for the front straight point by where 100% of the KERS is required.
