i am looking to buy a else and use it for track days at my local circuit- cadwell park. i would take just a few tools and tea, is it reasonable to expect to get away with using my golf gt tdi as the tow car? its within weight. . . . just!

I'm surprised that an Elise plus trailer is within the towing weight of a Golf - are you sure? Anything to stop you just driving the Elise there?

If you were talking a mk1 I would agree, if you are talking a mk15 or whatever they are on, they are big and heavy and probably do have a higher towing capacity.

my golf is a mk4 and has a capacity of about 1250kg- so just about ok with a lighter trailer.
