How's did the brakes/Tyres hold out?

i am a novice myself and it went smooth, i slowly built up my sped throughout the day. The brakes seem'd okay but towards the end of the morning as i was braking a bit harder and later the abs was kicking in a lot more. It was wet so that made it easier on the car. I think when i'll be pushing the car to its limits for the day the brakes will start to suffer and i'll need some sort of upgrade(braided hoses or even brakes)

Tyres were crap, they didnt have much grip at all. I'm looking into a new set of wheels and tyres

I'm goona get an insructor out with me next time to show me lines,etc to help improve things

Bu your gonna love it , i just wonder why i never brought my old s out
