I think some track days offer you an insturctor, probably best to do that if its your first time.

For the insurance your best off googling it and then calling them to find out what cover they offer.

Just remember to take your time and learn the track.

1. Usually yes, you need to get at least the bumpers, windscreen and bonnet fixed (e.g. all the parts hanging off plus glass). As for the can opener style bruises, they're not that important.

2. don't know Smile

3. Just take it easy, if you'll have any friends with you that already have some track experience, ask them if you can take a couple of laps on the passenger seat with them. Don't act like Schumacher's lost cousin when you hit the track. Take advice from other racers (even if it sounds stupid it's usually not!). And as said before, check if they offer an instructor Wink Also don't forget to watch the flags (and get to know what they mean)!

As for the stuff you should have with you on a track day, here's a little list:

Not everything is required but just don't forget the portable chair (you'll thank me later) Laughing
