In this episode of Window Shop with Car and Driver, we are joined by Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire to search the internet with the intent of helping our editor in chief pick out a fun track car. With a budget of $15,000, we try to find the perfect balance of performance, safety, and value for the person who wants to start honing their driving skills on a road course.
Some of us thought it best to do jump into the deep end and put a newbie into a race car, while others went for something slower and easier to master. We end up with a lot of choices, some more serious than others. Our editor whittles the list down to a few favorites, but there can only be one winner. Do you agree with Sharon's selection? Do you think you have better ideas for track-day newbies? Let us know in the comments section of our YouTube channel.
