Better Days
One hour into my UCR Introductory driving school. Ran over a cone and produced a large coolant leak. Flatbed home for me. I hope everyone else had a better day than I did.

You need a car that doesn't require coolant.

Damn, beat me to it!
Sorry to hear, but don't let it spoil your track experience. It happens, and at least it's pretty minor.

It was easy to spot. The "coolant low" message came up...

Tesla batteries are full of coolant, and their coolant also needs to be changed periodically.
