For me its like this:
1)Ensure that car is prepared to as good as it's ever likely to be.
2)Get there early. Worst, is running around car sticking numbers on and hearing that you've been called to the start.
3)Ensure car is at running temp
4)Don't put helmet on until just 2 cars ahead in queue for start
5)Relax on startline - never feel hurried.
6)Sleep well the night before - I never have
7)Don't make excuses afterwards - it was me and me alone that stuffed the lever into reverse- not second wasn't it.
