The scariest part is when you are driving along country dirt roads at night and the instructor is saying, go faster. To my knowledge the only accidents in these sort of conditions that have occurred involve kangaroos.

At the end of the day we had a reverse grid race based on some times we’d done earlier. There wouldn’t normally be that many cars on the track at once. Don’t worry, its all safe. And you get HEAPS of track time! Its great!
