Looks like a good mix of cars, and no Caterfields so far :)

Hahaha yeah that was my first track-day! Probably not the best video if you want to get to know the right lines ;)

Def worth learning the track first though, it's very long and there's not a huge amount of visual stimulation to remind you which bit you're on 8-[
