Citroen C3 1.4 hdi trackable car

[Jamespick1986]

Hi all,

Now I guess you're still laughing from the title but please bare with me! Yes I know I own a s**t heap, but it's a great little commuter car for my boring round commute to work. My question is, as a novice, could I use it to do a track day. I do own a 996 as my fun weekend car, but I don't fancy smashing that to pieces on my first outing. The thought of smashing up a car which cost me 400 quid doesn't scare me as much as the alternative!

Let me know your thoughts.... Go easy, I'm new!

I would take both cars with you, I would guess you will be feeling comfortable on track after just a couple of sessions and then spend the rest of the day wishing you were in your Porsche.

You should not be resigning yourself to smashing anything to pieces.

I know, it would just be my luck though!

You are aware that you would be sat inside this paper thin car that you are expecting to roll into a ball aren't you?

Get instruction and don't go beyond your limits. Use the Porsche.

If you are that worried why not hire a Caterham through BAT or many other organisations?
