Default learning to handle my car on track

a little vid about my first steps on track, learning to handle my car on the track at zolder belgium, about 10 miles where i live.
am taking babysteps so i can slowly improve my car and myself (don't expect too much)
this was before mapping, fmic, 440's, and my ap 6 pots.
these are all sorted for this season so will see quicker laps....

would like to see vids of you guys doing trackdays! and your trackbased upgrades, so i can get a few nice tips!

regards

Personally forget power upgrades. Go for a baffle plate or better yet baffled sump, updated pads and discs and then look at roll bars and strut braces Tec fairly cheap but power imo is not the way to go get it to handle better, brake better and the baffle plate will stop the oil sloshing all over the place. Trust me a well set up car with standard power is faster round a track than a higher powered standard set up car.

yes, i'm at around 310 bhp, and will stay at it, safe and reliable, and still more than quick enough around the track.
have got strut braces front and rear, ultra racing h brace, kw coilovers...
now looking at anti lift kit etc...
power is nothing without control is very true!
