I've not trackday'd but from a ralling background would suggest... water (for you & car -including screenwash) oils / fluids. small spares like fuses etc. matching spare wheels / tyres, also check that they fit the car (inside bodywork AND over brakes :think: ) - also if you have spare wheelnuts...
