sk69 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
If you are serious about wanting to be as competitive as possible given your experience & equipment you should do 2 or 3 tests before racing preferably with whoever will be running you at races (or if self running an experienced FF engineer). The feel of a single seater is completely different to that of a kart & you need to be acclimatised to your car & go as quickly as you can & it will in it's normally set up state to set a baseline before you start adapting it to what you think is your driving style.

Without doing this you will find it hard to know whether you or the car needs to be adapted without the added brain pressure of trying to overtake/defend. Lines are different & braking more so. If you can afford to be run professionally even if just for your initial outings you will save yourself a huge amount of time (& probably money in expensive mistakes) in attaining your optimal performance level soonest.
