The track can be really addictive, and once you try it you realize that trying to go fast on the roads is kind of ridiculous.

I will add my advice to the 'get instruction' bandwagon. Especially when you are starting off it really is important to get the driving fundamentals correct. I have seen far too many people put it into the wall because they thought they were 'natural' drivers who didn't need to be taught. I have over the years been amazed at many highly experienced drivers who still didn't have the basics down, many who had never even been shown them.

The second thing is don't get caught up in who is fastest... DE / Lapping days are about driving, learning, enjoying yourself and DRIVING THE CAR HOME at the end of the day. There are no prizes, and when you start worrying if your faster or slower then the other people at the track you are at the highest risk of taking a close up look at the wall.

Welcome to the fraternity of the track junkies...
