Update:

Test and Tune is in 16 hours. I can't sleep cause I am that anxious. Motul RBF600 is in and bled. Pagid Yellows RS29's all around. (still need to bed them). Alignment at -.3&-.5 front and -1.9&-1.9 for rear with .50 toe in as well for rear. Fronts need gt3 lca's for more camber. GT3 brake cooling ducts are in as well. GoPro camera ready. Tools, brake fluild, oil packed. This guy is ready to race!

Those first few to several track days are always hard to sleep when there is so much anticipation. Just remember to relax and have fun, don't bother trying to beat ANYONE, if you are faster, you will get past, the harder you try, the worse the situation gets. Ask an instructor about the "Red Mist" and how to avoid it.

Thanks for posting. You look like you're doing well!

Haven't been to Gingerman since they added the new section and repaved the entry to front straight. Looks like it may be worth another visit.

I did my first track day about a month ago with stock brakes, pads and fluid and cooked them after about 4-5 laps. I did a driver training day yesterday after fitting RS19s and Castrol SRF and the brakes held up to repeated high speed lapping with no noticable fade at all. The pads and fluid has transformed the stock brakes for track days for me.

Thank you It was my first time so I was learning the line, next track day is Aug 19th with some fast cars including a R35 GTR, 911, 600hp procharged vette, and few other high hp cars. Will be trying to push the car a little bit more and hopefully it won't be raining. Thanks to this community for mature and honest directions.
