Topless - how much do you budget for tracking the car and setting it up ?
Let's see - dedicated rims and tires
- brake pads
- special oil sump to provide lubrication on high g turns
- roll bars/cage
- crash helmet
etc etc
And a few cases of beer for after the race to keep the track/support crew happy!
Yikes but I think it would be fun.  |
Yes it is quite a lot of fun and has been described as being the most fun you can have in a Porsche with your clothes on.
Most PCA regions will let you safely run a DE track day in your bone stock car to see if this game is for you. If you do it often, track brake pads, roll bar, race seats and harnesses, and other safety gear are recommended. An extra set of wheels/tires are only needed for complete track junkies like me. Since I am both the driver and the track support crew, beer expenses are minimal.
I have a pretty well sorted street/track car now with about $8k in performance, safety, and reliability mods. Most don't go to this extent though but it developed slowly over 7 years of performance driving and nearly 100 track days. I do prefer track days to golfing.
