But the simple thing to remember is it is [B]not[/B] a race and nobody is going to spot you and sign you up for McLaren :D . Start slowly and build your pace up during the day and remember to use your mirrors and you'll be fine. Simple really make sure all the basics are right, all the levels correct, no leaks, brakes properly adjusted and plenty of meat on the linnings. Tyre pressures correct, usually a couple of psi higher than normal, but several of us carry pumps and gauges. Wheel nuts tight and lastly the big nut behind the steering wheel correctly set ;) and away you go. You'll love it and look forward to seeing you. Cheers, Martin.
