Now track events are regularly back on the calendar, here’s a handy reference checklist in case you’re feeling a bit rusty when preparing for events. As most track events start early in the morning with scrutineering, packing your bag the night before can take the pressure off. It also gives your Dorian time to charge overnight.
The checklist below is designed to assist your Track Day preparation. If you have any additions or changes to the checklist, or pre Track Day routines that you’d like to share, please add them the comments box below.
