Poss. track car

[X5TUU]

So, after reading more and more about speeding and becoming more risk averse on the public highways (as it should be in fairness) I am debating on getting a track car.

I have never done a track day before and am so tempted to throw down some cash and buy a Zenos, KTM or Ariel but head is ruling on this one, and figured I would go with something small and cheap that doesnt matter if I total it on the first outing!

With that in mind I am thinking of the cheapest route possible ... and I have been offered a Saxo VTR for peanuts (just over a ton), its in decent nick and even has some MOT left on it ... with a view to stripping and track prepping over the winter ready for next year - I dont know about the driving of said car to the track or trailering etc... I do have a council garage for storage etc... so do have a place off the road for it!

Thoughts appreciated from those way more experienced in such things!

Excellent advice, thankyou both for affirming my thoughts

I'll see what I can sort in the next couple of weeks and go from there.

Feels mildly daunting at the minute as most new things do but sure it'll be all good

Well it's bought ... ended up being £190 and looks a decent base to start from.

Not sure if it'll be ready for the end of Oct for tracking mind but I'll see!

Thanks for the tip on insurance, it's something I need to sort and understand as it's more damage to others and the track than my car I'm worried about at the minute!
