Hi I am new to track days and am looking for some suggestions for my first RWD sedan/coupe track car(No hatchbacks)
I would like something with a low track maintenance cost so I can get a lot of track time out of it
I would like something I can modify in the future
I would like to get through my first track day with less than £5k overall

From the research I have done I like the toyota MR2 and BMW 3 series (328i)...
Which would be better for maintenance? Which would last longer? Which is easier to work on?
Thank you for your help and suggestions

Never been to one but it looks super fun...
How are cars transported from the track once its over? I assume most are road legal,
do people carry 4 spare tires in their car?

Great suggestions, I am stuck between buying a road legal car and hiring a transporter. Is it legal for me to drive a transporter with a standard cat B UK licence? Insurance is still pretty high for me as I am 22. I am not really too interested in using this car on the roads, just need the cheapest option to transport the car to and from track.
Is hiring a transporter something that is common? I think it would be more cost effective than insurance/mot ect
