Unfortunately, timing on a track day is strictly forbidden because it invalidates the organiser's insurance.
So i don't have clue how long a lap is
Someone who videos their laps with an in car camera might be able to give you an estimate, but as a rule we avoid talking about lap times.
Best way to judge your lap times round a track is by measuring yourself against another similar car or your speed at certain points around the circuit.
Eg. at donington i always look at my speed by the time i get to the bridge on the main straight and that gives me an indication of how well i took the corner before.

Is anyone stopping over nearby the night before?
I was going to bring Kate and was booked in the Preist House, but she's not coming now so I'm not stopping in a pricey place on my own.
White House Kegworth have offered me a single with breakfast for

The camera needs to be fixed to the car with a mount - handheld cameras are not allowed.
If anything happens to the car, the last thing you want is a camera flying round the cabin. The organisers take a dim view of people waving cameras about I'm afraid.
