It takes a lot of time and tuning to get our cars to drive effectively on a road course and then you have the other variables such as tires and aero.
Great quote Gae. Reality is test and tune and find out what you and your car can handle. I'm starting w ~ 550 and that'll be enough until I know I need more. I'm also not building a tube frame race car, so aero will hit the wall (no vents, no splitter/extra downforce, no undercar stuff) and I'll be limited to an earthly number (<700).

Now the next car...hmmmm
