First trackday...

[jackmiers]

I'm sure it will be fine, after each drive the Audi engine cools itself down, even if you just move it around on the drive, much like my skoda did when it was new.... The Audi will definitely be an experience, really looking forward to giving that a go!

I have done a couple of dozen track days over the years and over 150 motorsport events, but normally in much faster cars than my Skoda.   When you park up after a session, don't just switch it off but let it idle for a few minutes so that you don't fry the head gasket or the oil in the Turbo.  Never apply your handbrake immediately after a session as there is a real risk of warped rear brakes.  Also know your limits as track days are surprisingly tiring when going 10/10. If its an open pitlane session then I normally break it up into short 8 to 10 lap sessions so as not to overheat the tyres and brakes with a heavy car, its also less tiring that way. 

 

In terms of driving, you will be slow to start with and will likely get overtaken by lesser cars, don't worry about that as after a a few sessions you will learn where you are slow and will adjust your technique and become faster.

 

Don't underestimate the amount of fuel you will get through as well

It's only meant to run on super unleaded too... petrol costs will be a bomb... its a open pit lane session so thats a good idea- splitting it into short sessions, cheers for the help
