ok, last night (admittedly after several beers), a genesis of a plan was hatched to field a team of three cars at the regularity style 6 hour events (eg. Aroca at Eastern Creek, Philip Island, Wakefield Park etc),
(these events do not require roll cages etc just fire extinguishers and tow hooks)
the basic requirements agreed were:
cost - up to $500 per car
wheels - 15" (as the drinkers had about a 100 half worn R spec 15" tyres between them)
performance - must be able to get to the track, do one good lap (*) for qualifying, and then not explode for an hour.
(*) as an example, the wakefield event has a max lap time of 1.25. Nic's C3, my ST, Andy's RS do about 1.11
so, what does the automotive brains trust suggest?
early starters were Datto 180B's and 240K's, old Honda's, some fool mentioned Saab's etc etc
