For a first time out, anything's ok as long as you and the car got back in one piece and had fun Was this with an instructor in the car? Only thing that really caught my eye in the video itself was hand position: should be closer to 10+3, esp at the start there. Could go on about lines and all that, but that will come with time. Be careful, it's an addictive hobby

Yes instructor for the 2 morning sessions. For the 2 afternoon sessions he moved me to group 2 so I was solo. Yea agree on the hands a real bad habit I noticed on autocross as well. Later on I catch myself and readjust but, it is not a habit yet.

Hehe, first day is nerve wracking. You will progress each time. Looks like fun, much prettier scenery than the rock filled deserts of CA too!

And yeah, you made it home in your own car so you won .

You might try some driving gloves next time. Go to a sporting goods store and just buy the cheapest matching left and right golf gloves you can find.
