As a new track driver, you will have just as much fun with a basic setup as you would with a full out trackcar. Same concept with tires. The cars, even in stock form, are more capable than any of us. Same concept with tires. Start with a performance street tire not a track tire. You will actually learn more about driving from a hard tire than a soft. Most importantly, have fun! Just my $0.03.

I think it’s a huge generalization to say that these cars in stock form are more capable than “any of us”
Not that one can’t learn to operate within the limits of oem capabilities but when you advance to the point of using the entire track while riding the edges grip, some of the oem components becoming a limiting factor.
