Second time on the track..15k miles, any tech tips?

Title says it all..

I've scheduled my second day on the track (for both me and the E92), and was looking for some tech tips.

Recent oil change(<1000 miles ago). Still on stock Conti tires but theyre at 4/32 all around which I understand is the limit. Figured I'd wear out the last of these tires before I pickup a new set. Stock pads.

Any driving videos you can recommend? Most of the stuff I've found on youtube seems to be from the 80's or older.

You don't really need any tech tips with one day previous experience, just go ready to learn and have a blast. Skip Barber's book "going faster" is very good for track theory.

I would do a brake fluid flush and add high temp racing fluid like ATE 200 or Motul RBF 600 (if you haven't already).

This is a great book. Speed Secrets by Ross Bently is a great read also.
