Hi guys
I'm gonna head to my first skidpan event next week. Just wondering if there is anything in particular I should watch out for and/or prepare in order to have the most fun?
In terms of suspension setup, would you set it up to be as stiff as you would on a track day event? If not, how stiff should it be?
Thanks for your feedback

Your suspension should be rock hard with no rebound at all, and your camber should be set like a race car.....
Seriously - why would you want it to perform any differently on the skidpan to how you'd expect it to be on the street? Afterall - it is to learn how to handle it in an everyday emergency that we go play on the skidpan anyway isn't it?????

You don't need fancy suspension for skid pan, and there is no need to make the suspension stuffer either. Skid pans are more like training exercise rather than motorsport events and it's better if you take your car there as it is currently.
If you have an LSD, that would be helpful too, but of course not mandatory .
