haha! I seem to have forgotten which way round a clock works!

It's definitely overtake on the right only though.

lol!!

yes, after studying a few vids it seems your correct on the overtaking side there - other members here who have driven on it (as it will be my first time to drive at this circuit) will confirm that im sure.

Nitin, I think you should get someone like Phil to drive your car on the track for you, with you in the passenger seat...

That is available for Phil if he wants to have a go.

One other thing I will mention, use the in lap to cool down the car. Low revs gentle on the brakes.

Second thing (I lied about there being only one thing), in the inevitable congestion outside, after your track session, if your brakes got hot try not to sit still too much. If possible try to keep rolling a little at least until you get back to the stand.

Don't put the handbrake on right after being out on track as it can seize, slip it in gear to stop it rolling instead.
