seriously nothing to worry about. a few things to keep in mind...
- everyone is out on track for the same reason; to enjoy themselves. no one likes to see cars roll or damaged plus it ends up in length red flags so everyone is stuck waiting.
- drive at your own pace and skills. they'll be fast cars and slow cars (and a combination of fast&slow drivers in those cars) . everyone expects traffic so just be aware of your surroundings and pull over to let the faster guys through. be confident in your decision; dont half-ass stuff as that leaves everyone unsure.
- trackdays arent cheap in this car.not cheap or easy to mod the FK2. first you'll hit brake issues, then IAT's (replace IC), and then oil temps once your running events with 21c ambient over about 12minutes. if your serious about taking up trackdays, i'd seriously recommend £1.5-2k in prepwork. Tyres will be the big ongoing cost. cup2's or better else the outer edge will be done way before the rest of the tyre is.
- focus on being smooth and getting your lines right. disregard times, thinking your slow, or not pushing the cars limits. all that comes in time with confidence. ego's need to be left at home.
- TCS/ESP. personally, turn it off. i find the car fights me with trying to correct so when i anticipate the car will slide, i adjust inputs and allow the car to gently recover but then the TCS/ESP system actively interferes with braking which upsets the balance and my predictions. as per FWD BTCC when the back end slides, you hit the power to pull the car out of it. TCS/ECP will reduce power and make the back end unstable.
i've been sideways through Crainers (Donington) in the FK2 every time i've visited, sometimes multiple times in a day. thats a hell of a thrill but not something anyone recommends
a track reliable fk2 is damn impressive on track. i'm far from experienced in trackdays (getting there - 3yrs in, around 7-8 events now) and there's only big power or track-only kit thats passing. even on cup2's which aren't renouned for their wet grip, it seemed the fk2 was fastest thing out there in the wet.
