Do you have to have a front tow eye on ?

Most companies don't cover it, so you bent it you mend it.

Either that or ring a specialist for track day cover.

Put the towing eye on before you go out on the track. Front normally but as long as its there then they can move it, hopefully they wont need to use it though.

Dont go out thinking you are gods gift to driving. Just take it steady, ask for advice, try and get someone who has experience or even an instructor out with you. They will improve your driving on track no end.

Check your brakes, fluids, and tyres. Make sure you remove all the crap you might have in the car from day to day driving.
Cds, shoes, junk, rubbish etc.

Finally dont be too nervous about quicker people, just make sure you keep aware of whats going on, try not to hold those quicker up, and enjoy your time out there.

When you are done look at your bank balance and wave it goodbye, its seriously addictive!
