You don't need to do that for track days, or HPDE, or even some time trials (see: NASA). You will need to do that if you're talking wheel-to-wheel racing. For a nice, safe, first track day, find a local HPDE organization that provides novice drivers instructors. Put fresh brake fluid in, maybe a set of fresh pads, and go out, go what feels to be slow and gentle, and get an idea of what it's like. You don't need to bomb down the straights and fly through the corners to see what it's like. Also, some organizations are willing to rent you a car, like a Spec Miata, to go out a use so you can try without any work on your car at all... just remember, nobody is turning Michael Schumacher times their first event. |
