You mean Team JTD surely..
Maybe I'll have a choice when it comes around to this... Join the petrols or the JTDs?

lol i'll strip out the marea and see how it goes.....
I weigh less than 10
Engine cover? Screen wash? Diesel? Neons?
The sedici rivals the JTD even in the torque.. A bit of both on the day maybe.
I'll keep the passenger seat in for entertainment value - will fit a rear-view camera in the passenger deashboard.
Edit: 9st 7lb

Remember:
harness + bucket seat - roll cage + rolled car = squished brains or snapped neck.

Being honest if you're not comfortable in the situation you put your self and other people at risk and you're better off not not hitting the track. I don't speak for anyone here bar my self but I wouldn't have a problem with you working your way into fast track driving & I doubt anyone else here would either.
If you drive slowly, then people will just go past you. No need to worry about going fast straight out the box. Thats what track days are all about. Learning how to drive your car better.
It's a shame Fiat didn't make a lightweight racing series car. Would have been so much cooler in a Fiat powered car than a ford powered one

what i mean is, i dont have to whizz round on say my first lap but do a couple at like 70/80ish then get faster like that kinda thingStoneNewt said:
sounds like me at IoM, took it easy ish planning to not to push it more than 90% kinda thing but by the end of the weekend i was giving it everything i could
that's what I mean just ease into your driving... start off at a pace you can deal with the push a little more each time through. I wish I had a video of me on my first 'track day' & 18 months latter at the same place, first time I was so slow and timid but there were people there telling me how to move the car etc. Next time I visited I was one of the fastest guys in an N/A sub-1500cc car and using a touch of trail braking to induce a bit of oversteer.
yeah start at easyish pace then get quicker and if i feel uncomfortable just exit at pit lane next time round. i can imagine on the day it probably wont happen though lol.
or ill get a passenger ride with something turbo and get scared poo-less and never go near a car again lol

I've never done track racing before but i'll be taking it easy aswell on the corners till i get a feel for it. I just pray to god its not raining. A nice dry overcast day will be fine!!
