Hi there,
I've done the odd track day on my bike with Focussed Events. They are well organised, safe track days. So you can relax.
As you probably know, the day starts with an early morning briefing. Listen carefully to this and stick to the guidance. They will put you in the Novice group, so you'll be with others in the same boat.
There's no pressure to go any particular speed. So you can ride at your own pace and enjoy the experience! My advice would be to go slowly in the first sessions, so you can focus on learning the racing lines, then gradually let your pace pick up naturally. Smoothness is much more important than speed. If you're smooth, the speed will follow. Also, there are normally instructors on hand, so it's well worth asking one for advice early in the day.
