Loz,

Yup very similar - id suggest you just grip the 1st corner and practice initiating into the top corner hairpin

Newbs are welcome in playpen and kidney

Have to demonstrate to Pod head marshal Daz that you are not a numpty i.e unsafe and that you are not going to continually spin out, hit cones and rob everyone else of quality seat time while track is reset

Warm up in kidneys to get yourself back to level you were at last your DWYB - then you go have a go at EDC track

No need to go balls out in your 1st few runs just get to know track and skid the corners your feel ok with - you will soon be linking whole track

80mph initiation towards block of concrete is not for the weak.
