Default Just bought a new '05...

Hi everyone! Bought my first S2000 yesterday - an '05 car in Metallic Blue! Looking forward to picking it up next Monday...

So are there any tips or advice that I need? I'm extremely familiar with front-mid engine rear-wheel drive cars having built and driven a Caterham 7 for 6 years, and I've also driven a Boxster S and a Peugeot 306 GTi-6 for a while - all having been fine performance cars. So advice like 'take it easy in the wet' is not really what I'm looking for.

I'm in the Seattle area - any other owners around here on this forum, and which tracks should I look to take it to?

Cheers,
Roger.

Roger,

There is an active group in the Seattle area; check out the NW forum.

The closest track is Pacific Raceways, near Kent, south of Seattle. It's a good track, 2.25 miles around, and there are many opportunities to drive on it. Portland International Raceway is three hours away; I've not yet had the pleasure, but people speak well of it. Spokane Raceway also is fun, I hear, but a bit farther away.

There also is a lot of autocross in the area. Fun time with fun people, and you really see some great cars and drivers.

Welcome!
