- Oil catch tank contents (on track they breathe a lot)
- Tyre wear / pressures, start at 26psi and check when you come off track what they are hot
- Oil temps, I usually stop when I'm at 120'C+ in the sump
- Keeping yourself cool, drive with the window cracked (if they allow) or vents on full blast!
- Half fill the tank MAX, anymore and they have a tendency to empty it onto your rear tyre
After the first session, I'd come back in, check the above and wonder about, they're supposed to be fun!
No on expects you to be quick in a Polo- which can be frustrating, but great fun at the same time
