Are crap track cars really fun?

I've heard people saying that they are but is an old car with crap brakes and suspension and little power really fun on track?

Yes, absolutely.

I set myself a budget of £1k to build an MX-5 track hack - it's now done 5 track days, about 300L of fuel, a set of brake pads and an oil / filter change. Other than that, I haven't lifted a spanner to it.

Half of the time it's been sideways, and it's been a hell of a lot of fun. Moreso than the 250bhp Westfield I just got rid of, in fact. The way you can let anyone jump in the driver's seat and redline it in every gear without worry is amazing. Everyone who's driven it (10 people plus myself) agrees it's probably the most fun they've ever had on track. I highly recommend it!

It seems to be missing most of its interior, not to mention its windscreen!

4 wheels and an MoT is about all the requirement is, so yes. I've been on track with (not driving) a V8 Transit.
