Eric, one option I would consider is an SC or 964 based track car that is prepped and ready to roll. If you do a quick cost analysis and the fact that your willing to trailer to the events. Adding suspension and related items to your pristine R8 would be easily half the price of a front running 911 track car. The curb weight will mid to low 2000 lbs versus a heavy street car. Wear and tear items like brakes and tires will be half what your currently consuming. You will learn more from the lack of traction control and driver aids too. Track cars are sooooo cheap right now with the economy down. Just a thought. As far tires, Larry pretty much summed it up.
