Hi everyone,
Next Monday, me and Soph get our first trackday experience - We both get 5 laps round silverstone in a Lotus Exige. Being the competitive types we're already both looking to out-do each other so was wondering if anyone has any good tips on how to get a quicker lap time. Soph has a bit of an advantage as she has owned a mid engined, RWD car before (albeit an MGF) whereas my RWD experience consists of a few drives in friends saloons and trying to do do-nuts in maccy-D's car parks.
Being used to FWD are there likely to be things that really catch me out or do I just go for it and hope for the best?
Cheers,

Slow in fast out... I guess they will be the Exige S which are supercharged , if its wet they are dead easy to spin if you are not gentle on the steering / throttle / brake inputs...
You wont really gain anything over 5 laps but you can at least learn where the circuit goes in terms of left and right before you get there. Note that there are many circuit configurations - so if you do try to learn ensure you learn the correct one!
Have fun
