As Huckster noted, PCA is a really good place to start for HPDE

Nothing wrong with tracking a car with a TIP. I have a good friend who kicks ass on the track with a base 986 TIP

Anything can happen at the track including accidents and mechanical issues. Our cars are built to be driven hard. I did 4 years of tracking with my basically street 986S and had very little break there. In fact I can't think of anything that actually broke at the track on my car..

You will go through lots of tires and brake pads. When tracking I changed the oil not longer that 2500 miles (it was also my DD),. Not to start an oil thread, but you should use something better than Mobile one. I had good results with Motul Xcell 8100. It was highly recommended by my race prep mechanic. brake fluid flush every year and bleed before every event.
