Good track pads,and rotors are essentials as are good quality trans and diff fluids as track temps are far higher than what stock fluid design specs were designed to handle. Monitor tie pressures often and watch for cracks in the rotors. If instructors are available , ask for instruction. Bad habits learned early are hard to break- not to mention dangerous. You can't over hydrate yourself-especially in this weather. Be patient and have fun.

This is the mistake I made. Sticky tires cover up mistakes and makes it harder to learn. Luckily, I'm chewing through my tires quickly but next time around, I'm going down in tire size so I can learn the car better.
Congrats on the car though.
