You did good. Quite challenging to drive around those orange cones isn't it?

It's usually a good idea to walk the course at least once or twice during registration to become somewhat familiar with the layout. Auto x is a good way to find out the limits of your car and all you have to worry about is hitting a cone or spinning out get some in car footage!

Grab an instructor your first runs. Many people have an ego issue with having an instructor but they are great to have. Even if all they do is shout "left" and "right" they're worth the 70kg weight handicap
