I have done lots of AutoX on many different vehicles, I have yet to break anything.

You will really enjoy it, and the amount you will learn on your first day is incredible. Don't worry about scrubbing your tires on the first day out.

I would suggest:

1) Emptying your car of the crap.
2) The seatbelt ratchet to make sure you are not going anywhere. (Recline seat, lock, seat belt, then sit it up.
3) After 1st gear... leave it in 2nd. Don't change gears and keep both hands on the wheels.
4) Don't try to be fast, drive smooth, and you WILL be faster.

Just some tips to save you some concern and trouble.
