You fellas are taking a far too macho approach. She is beautiful, she is powerful, but she will kill you if you are incompetent. You must be confident but not arrogant, bring a smooth touch to the wheel and the brakes, and never curse the car when it is your own stupidity that results in going slowly. The car will go faster than you can drive her, so who is telling who? You must always give her the best you can afford in fuel, brake fluid and regular maintenance, even if it makes other females jealous, and never abuse her by dropping the clutch or letting the rear end spool going over a hill on the track.

Above all else you must take it slowly. Ask her for a little in this corner, then that one. If you ask for it all at once you will be carried off the track backwards into the nearest immovable object. If you gently work up to the maxmium she will reward you with lower lap times and going home in one piece.
