only requirement on track days is if you drive a convertible it has to have roll hoops or any other roll over protection system.

Is a hardtop adequate for rollover protection instead of roll hoops? I used to go to the track in 2000-2001 when I first got my Boxster and they said that was OK. I went off the track but went straight, no turning until you slow down....

If its a metal one, it will add some protection.

The factory roll bars are pretty good unless you are very tall and the top of your helmet is above the roll bars.
You can always add a roll bar extension for extra protection and is required generally if you have some performance mods. its a good idea in any case

I was taught both feet in ( brake and clutch ) and don`t turn the wheel until you gather your thoughts. Works.
