Best bit of advice I can give is to play GT4 with steering wheel in a similar car to yours. Play it till you know your way around and you'll be amazed how quickly you get to grips with the real thing

I was probably lapping at around 11 mins plus when I went...In my defence I did spin 360 on my first lap so the remainder was spent in pslewis mode getting my confidence back...

Nope, you dont need a helmet, you dont need long sleeves, infact you could probably drive it naked if you wanted too. I wouldnt recommend driving in anything other than proper gear myself though.
