I raced/tracked my Ruf gt2 for 5 years of my 7 year ownership. At first I was scared , then I snapped out of it and wanted to master my prized possession, my beast of a Supercar!!! I wouldn't have had it any other way, even with a few if its battle scars

Oh well, it's fun to see these cars all battle it out
By this thinking, doesn't a dedicated track car make even more sense?

Hell, if you're 5'6", get a pre-owned formula 1 car, when money is no object.

To me, that's what driving will always be about.

Not necessarily, depends what car I guess.

If I wanted a cup car. I'd be looking at tons of money in maintenance (gearbox rebuild, engine) !!

My gt2 has turned stupid fast time with me piloting it, in just about full street weight and a nice build motor wise/gears/suspension

My clutch is still perfect. Gearbox, LSD, engine, etc etc

Not to mention part of the feat as I said is mastering what you have! It makes it more fun and rewarding IMO, a dual purpose car!
