First impression was way too expensive, most people track with cars costing at most a few grand just in case they smash it.

Then you get two sets of people with more expensive cars
- driving like miss daisy
- brave people - god knows what whould happen if they came off. Even with track insurance the excess can be more than just running a cheap car.

..................goes to find how much ISF's are going for.

They'd make epic track cars, might be worth fitting an LSD though as the early ones are not LSD. I'd suggest a Kaaz or similar.

Surely a car like that would be too good to track?

Would be very expensive on things like brakes and tyres.
