Im sorry i still feel that a track day car should be one that we can drive to the supermarket, pick up a steak and a bottle of wine and still can turn up on a track day to win the pants off other cars.

If it is a car we have to tow to a track day, then it is a track car, not really a track day car.

Also, ideally it must be affordable (or at least, to greater masses).

So in my heart, the track day car, although illegal in SG but legal in quite a few countries, would be the Ariel Atom.

uh, going to the supermarket in the atom? where are the groceries gonna go? Or are u just going to the supermarket to buy mentos :P

Awesome trackday cars are still cars like the EGs, EKs or even lotus's of yore. Doesnt cost a fortune to maintain, fun and nippy to drive and does not pack monstrous BHP that threaten to kill you if u mess up.

For me, the best balance between the occasionally track session + some degree of practicality are the m3s.

I think what you're thinking of is more of a weekend car. A toy for the weekend, like a Porsche GT3. harder than a usual carrera but not as extreme as say a GT3RS..which has a half cage in place of the rear seats, harder than usual ride. Yes you can go grocery shopping in that..but would you want to?

And an atom to pick up a steak and some wine? the T125 looks even more practical than that...you could strap a whole deer on its side pods whereas the atom is all framework and all. of course. you're right as you can drive the atom to the track, like a normal car but the t125 is like a Caparo...no compromises.
