I haven't done but I've watched a couple and it looks like a lot of fun  :driver:

I would just make sure your clutch can take it and your engines good to go, nice and warm, oil levels etc. Not sure about changing tyre pressures or anything, might be worth letting a few PSI out for extra grip though....

I always fancied a go at this, seems cheaper than doing track days. I think the MSA is the place to start looking into it. https://www.msauk.org/, lots of local clubs
