Well done Stevo.
Never easy doing these type of things/events for the first time.
I remember my first time out on track at Castle Combe back in the late 90's. I was waiting to go out from the pit lane, already nervous as it was a damp day, when a new (at the time) Impreza lost it on practically the straight.
I thought if he can't keep it on track what bl**dy hope have I got in my fwd 92 Rover 214si.
I did ok though although learnt quickly that I needed a more powerful car.
Good luck with the rest of it and great write up.
