What kind of preparation do you have to do for your car on the track? New rotors and pads? Different set of wheels with tires? How much does a day at the track cost, approximately?
you should do plenty of autocross before you do your first DE at the track.
Getting out agression isn't really something for a track novice. The worst that happens with misdirected aggression in an autocross is you knock over a few cones, have one of your lap times thrown out and miss out on a $5 made in China trophy. Misdirected aggression at the track can turn your Boxster into a sardine can in two blinks of an eye.
No special preparation to your car necessary for autocross. No special tires recommended when starting out (get novice mistakes done on cheap tires). Total cost for the day? $40-$50. String together 10-12 days of that and you're a 10x's better driver than 98% of the sports car driving public.
