For track days the kit car sounds a good idea.

Cossied kit car

Caterhams are really expensive for what you get. Westfields are good value, but Dax's are the best

You'll only need one set of tyres, discs and pads for a whole season as they are so light

Had the Saph out in the snow, was awsome fun. Never been round so many roundabouts in one day

Are you sure your 4x4 has got a yb in it? Couldnt believe how quiet it was when you pulled off from the meeting the other week.
Must be the quietest Cossie engine in the country
Nice motor
