just remember its not just preparing your car, its preparing yourself...
you got 2 remember that there is a real possibility of going off, and even at wakefield one of the safest tracks in Australia, there is a chance of damaging ur car... i went of at oran park just yesterday in NSW SS, and car almost flipped, you got 2 be prepared and 2 know that there is possible risk 2 urself and possible risk 2 damage you're car...
that is all

also when you spin put both feet in it may save you from someone else cleaning you up when you spin uncontrolably
o0o0o a really good point there Dave R and Marty
yes as marty said, go in straight, if u go in sidways there is a higher risk of flipping, also when you lose it and u know u cant catch it, the best thing 2 do is get on the brakes, u would be surprised how quick u can stop ur car.. better then trying 2 power out or do something stupid and hitting a wall...
Yeah, brakes ftw. I managed massive lift-off oversteer at about 160kmp/h (too fast for a nearly 90' corner haha), got into a 720' spin, hard on the brakes, pulled up still on the track. Brakes are your friend.
and 4 flat spotted tyres no doubt hahahhaha
No actually. But I did melt the outsides of the tyres on said day. Still tonnes of tread.
I paid $350 buck for my brand new sparco helmet.... but then again I know the sparco distributor lol
$80 for an RJays at Motorcycle Accessories shop in Parra

if your car has ODB or some such logging, a laptop or palm logger would be cool
