Just a little reminder for everyone on track.

Remember to bring both parts of your driving license with you as you can be refused without them.

Three people have asked me for the track time on other forum..

drokk it I'm going on my self.

I will be taking it slow, maybe some of you might lap me but my car might get some good photos.

You'll be glad you made the decision, especially if the track stays dry as you will go a lot faster than you think.

Hope to see that ATTS system being given a good workout!

Weather forecast is really bad for Saturday.

Yeah but its also fairly windy with a bit of sun forecast for the afternoon, so hopefully the track won't be waterlogged!

good point, other things to consider are:

- check your oil & coolant level before you go on track
- make sure your tyres are pumped up to a level you are happy with, depending on the tyre make & tread as they will heat up after a few laps do don't pump them up too high
- bring some tools, although im sure lots of other LG'er will have tools

- seems stupid but check over your car before you go on track, just in case anything is hanging off, leaking etc
- fit your track stickers well before going out so you don't have to run about in the queue lol
- at most (possibly all) tracks, because they run clockwise, overtaking is done on the left, so if you are being overtaken or want to get out the way of someone behind you that is running quicker, hang over to the right hand side and only overtake on the straights

- if you don't have one already, I advise getting a small portable fire extinguisher fitted/stored inside the car somewhere just in case. available from lots of places including egay for as little as a tenner - probably also available at some stands at JF but this is not essential, I just prefer to be safe than sorry
- make sure there is nothing loose on your passenger seat/rear seats etc. that could fly around as it will on track

anything else people can think off, add it on

Fire extinguisher is something I keep meaning to get for the car, as its a good idea for emergencies.

Castle Combe is anti-clockwise (correction: clockwise), so all overtaking is on the right, only on the straights and not in the braking zones.

Most importantly though, make sure your brakes are working properly!
