What modifications must I make to my car?
None - assuming your car is roadworthy (ie has an MOT if applicable). If your car is not road legal it should be a race car that is being scruitineered in a current race series.

Anything as long as it's either road-legal (with MOT if applicable) or a race car capable of passing MSA scrutineering.

What sort of tyre wear can I expect?
Obviously this will depend on both the weather and your driving style. In the rain it will be difficult to wear out a set of tyres regardless of how much sliding you do. In the dry however, especially on an airfield where the surface is relatively abrasive compared to a circuit, it is best to budget for a set of tyres every 2-3 visits, assuming you will be sliding the car and learning its handling characteristics ''on the limit''.
That said, driving within the limit of yourself and the car there is no reason why an airfield day would wear the tyres any more than a standard track day.

High performance driving dramatically increases the fuel consumption of your vehicle. Even if you arrive with a full tank, you will probably be needing to fill up on the way home. Vehicles with small tanks and/or naturally high consumption levels may even need a fill during the day.
We recommend that you fill up before arriving at the circuit.
