First track day help

Hi guys,

Been a while since I have been on so just been catching up. Thinking of doing my first track day when the weather gets a bit nicer. Have never taken my own car on a track before and it would be a travesty not to take the CSL on. I don't think the previous owner tracked it so it's been deprived!

Would really like some guidance from those more experienced. Any help with the following would be much appreciated:

1. Which track is good for beginners. Would prefer one that isn't too far away (Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Midlands area).

2. How is best to book. Do companies organise track days or do you book direct with the track?

3. I will need to get insurance and a helmet. Where's best to get those from?

4. What sort of overall cost would you expect?

5. Have I missed anything obvious??

I am also thinking of taking my brother in law along as he has a rally car and more track experience than I do!

Cheers hope you can help.
