Best rear harness/roll bar? What race seats work best? I have the Garage Therapy 4pt bolt in rear seat roll bar, and schroth quick fit 4 pt with stock seats.

What size memory stick for PDR? Max i think is 32gb but i find an 8gb is still plenty of space for a couple weekends.

Brake fluid using for track? These things are heavy, I used to run Motul 600 but cooked that a few times and lost brakes at really bad spots at Sebring, I only run Castrol SRF, not worth saving money on brake fluid in my opinion.

Oil & trans fluid for track? Factory recommended, never heard of anyone deviating.

What spare parts do you take to every event? My street tires are on a second set, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, and are the tires I use for wet track days as the Goodyear SC3R aren't what you want unless it's dry. Extra front brake pads, extra oil/brake fluid. and I think thats it.
An extra set of belts is a good idea. I slung off the serpentine as accessory drive belt at the track and there was only one to be had in Anniston Alabama. Had to borrow a car from a guy at the track for the 60 mile round trip to the parts store. If not for him, or if I couldn't find a belt, i wouldn't have made it home that night.

On the issue of the SD card for the PDR. There is a misconception out there that that biggest card you can use is 32GB. That is incorrect! The card has too be formatted to FAT32, in order for it to work in the PDR. But you can use whatever max capacity you want. I currently use multiple 128GB SD cards, one for every track I frequent. Never had an issue with any of them not working or recording data. Is 128GB overkill.....absolutely, it gives me several thousand minutes of recording time. But I certainly will never have to worry about running out of space. Picked up a set of 5 on Amazon for about $30 and then I used my wife's Minolta Digital Camera to format them to FAT32.
