Ben, if you are thinking of going to the track, there is NO better place to start than Winton. It was my first track, and I am glad of it. The runoff areas are great, and there are only one or two places that you could get into trouble and hit anything hard. That being said, those one or two places are the more challenging corners that you would slow for until you were more confident in yourself and the car.
I cannot think of a track that I would prefer as a starting point.

Driving skills aside, most importantly you seem to have a good head on your shoulders.
Back your skills and your judgment.

Ben don't stress about the track day you will be fine, I can't imagine you as the type to try and be a hero first time out. Anyway have a think about it and look forward to seeing you at Winton.

I'll add my voice to Winton being the best place to start. I started there for that reason. There's heaps of runoff and such is the layout of the circuit that cars don't tent to approach you at such high speed or at such inopportune places as at other circuits. You tend to know they're coming for a fair while and have plenty of time to get out of the way.

And you're not the sort of idiot to charge onto the track and try to break land speed records first time out!
