Just to second what was already said. Don't worry about getting your suspension mods before, just go out and have fun. The fastest way to learn is to just get in there and do it. Don't worry about being the fastest car out there. There aren't going to be any race teams scouting for drivers so you don't have to impress anyone, just go out and practice. You will love it.
