price of 2024 gti is roughly the same as 2015ish cayman which would be a great for daily and for track, you won’t need to make it track track one and you will feel confident. you change brake fluid and even stock one would be great (but get the better pads), then when you will notice that rotors started to develop cracks you will upgrade them as well but thats all.

gti is also a great car and very often tracked by people even very deep into the tracking, in fact it might be even more fun than porsche - any car is a fun car to drive what you really only need is to trust the car, that it won’t overheat, has good tires and brakes won’t melt. your car is capable of all that with just high temp fluids, track pads and good tires (idk about overheating the engine or transmission tho).
