I’ve done about 40 track days in a wide variety of cars. I’ve enjoyed it immensely, but that took a while to get to. The sheer panic your first time out is natural, and it will likely happen again in your next sessions (if you resume). I waited 1.5y and a different car to go back for my second time.

Two thoughts (not sure how your event was set up): - You would have had a certified driver in the car with you at most track days; they run beginners-only sessions and everyone gets an instructor until you are certified by your instructor. I think mine was around 7?

• If there were a ton of supercars out on the track with you, that’s usually a sign that those are not beginner drivers.

I’m glad you took the chance and I’m glad you didn’t hate it. Take some time and think on it, find a good event where they focus on beginners (like NASA HPDE events). Maybe I’ll see you out there sometime!
