No need for upgrades, just the basic safety stuff. But, I do understand wanting it to be in good shape so you don't break anything. My first time ever on the track was Hallett in 2015 in a 2001 GT convertible, completely bone-stock, I don't even know what pads, didn't bleed brake fluid, etc. Did fine the first day. The second day, brake fluid boiled and got uncomfortably close to a GT500 rear bumper. Reviewing the GoPro vids later, it wasn't nearly as close as it felt like on the track, but that'll slow you down! I moved to the left and started to get off the track and noticed my car was overheating at the same time. I also had to replace ball joints after that trip, the car was much looser in the front end afterward.</blockquote>
