[QUOTE="Ntmd8r, post: 67798, member: 45"] Yes, put high temp brake fluid in. Castrol SRF is highest temp, but also most $$$ I use Motul 600... next highest temp, and better $$$. I presume this is your first time out (since you are asking these questions), Yes, you need a helmet. I wouldn't concern myself with changing the oil... I don't expect you will be pushing the car to extremes this time. Don't worry about heel/toe braking/accelerating... if this is your first time out, learn the track, learn your car, learn your body responses and reflexes. Breathe !!!! Keep hydrated.... this way your body will stay alert. Entering/apexing/exiting corners is the trickiest part of road racing. Anyone can go fast in a straight line. So learn the correct lines of the course. Do you have Mag Ride control ? (FE4) If so, I would leave all the "nannies" on for the first session. Let the car keep you out of trouble. Learning what the car can do, and how it reacts/responds to inputs is a long process... especially for a new car. Do you have instructors to go with you ? Their input is invaluable. [/QUOTE]
