Anyone had much experience with their car on track? I have not seen many A110 out there - David Pook at a Lotus on Track event and maybe one other.
Any comments about how you get on with it - fun / durability / running costs / performance?
Presumably as the latest A110s can be specced with Michelin Cup 2’s from the factory ‘for the track’ in Alpine’s words, the Alpine factory warranty does cover track use?
Any thoughts appreciated!

There are quite a few of us that track them. I've got Anglesey and Oulton this month, Spa in July and Anglesey and Oulton again in October, all with Lotus-on-Track. On top of that I'll probably do 3 or 4 others this year. There has always been at least 1 other A110 on every trackday I've done in it so they are a reasonably popular/common sight

Being a light-ish car it's quite good on consumables - not Elise levels but pretty good nontheless. They go well, even on the normal PS4 tyres and are great fun

looking at the MP-R catalog, it seems like they are making money on track use by selling better cooling (more rear fans, better front radiator), supplementary oil cooler for DCT, they're working on an mechanical LSD in order to increase awesomeness and stop flogging rear brakes, replacing suspension mounts with metal ones and the rest is oriented to subtracting more weight (AP racing discs, lighter rims) or handling upgrades.

Mine, when it arrives, will definitely hit the track. Bedford is my favourite.
