What Should I Buy? - for the Track! Season 4’s Ultimate Track Car Debate
In this episode, a panel of automotive enthusiasts and experts engages in a lively debate aimed at helping a first-time collector choose the best track car.

The panelists also share insights on maintaining and modifying cars for track use, the role of driver aids and nannies, the importance of track insurance, and the transition from HPDE to competitive racing.
