GTi for trackdays? Your experiences

[Hurdy]

I totally agree with Steve. Performance in the GTI on track is definitely enough to have fun in, but something with more focus is much better, but is invariably compromised as a road car.

If you want a car to "do it all" on both road and track then you have to be satisfied that it doesn't "do it all" perfectly, but can do it competently.

It is getting the balance right that can be elusive.

Steve, I do like that Spa Pic  Here's mine...

Cheers for the insight folks.

I'm not looking for a total track car, but more of a quick road car that I can take to trackdays and have a laugh and still drive it home, without ripping its nuts off. Although I do like the idea of the Mk5 above

I've been out looking at the focus RS again, but I made a switch for an Audi to a Scoob a good few years back and although the oomph was there I felt I went backwards with the quality of the machinery, I think I'd feel the same moving from the GTD.

TBH, I did think about getting some work done to the GTD and giving it a go on track but felt I'd throw money at it, that I would not recoup when its boring nature became more evident on track.
