I'd argue all the folks on here that track their cars can afford to maintain them well. That's to say, correct service intervals, more oil changes than recommended / needed. They're driven hard but cherished cars. Often warrantied.

You'll find other cars in the mkt that some guys have spent 95% of their available funds on the car itself, don't track it, but just run it as a road car "coz it's cool innit bruv". No warranty, skip service intervals and whilst may seem good value with low miles, might often not be as they are not cherished.
look i dont want to get any backs up here but all im saying is i found a car i know had been looked after well, full service, full history, full warrenty with the car. i know track cars are well looked after iv got a e36 328i i reguarly track and do a full service on every 3 track days it is at 140k and still going strong but im saying that things like bushes, ball joints and various other items get put through so much strain on the track items you cant service, not to mention under belly damage if you stuck it into a few gravel traps.
as for the "cool init bruv" aspect are you implying that anyone who looks after there car and dosent remove the seats and put a cage in it is some kind of cottage chickin hood rat in a mckenzie hoody?
if so i will have the n.o 6 meal please
