Just make sure not to eat too heavily before hitting the track. It's advisable to stay hydrated, especially during the summer months, so grab a refreshing drink or two.
Choosing the right event for you depends on your stamina and ability. Events are graded by star ratings, with one star being perfect for beginners and five stars offering a near-semi-professional level of challenge.
