depends on what you fancy, road car or purly track?, how much you want to spend, and what type of tracks you want to do, a light good handling 2litre Si is a good forgiving track car and can supprise a few more powerfull cars round the twisty bits if its not got the legs down the straight of a turbo car. i still like front wheel drive.
also i hate to say it but Clio's,saxos, golf are another option,
i think only thing i got wooped by was a 200+ clio and golf turbo in the wet on Sunday at Snetterton and thats with long straights anything with a turbo had problems getting power down.

if i wanted a track car i'd get a 205, 106, saxo, 306 (in that order). Basically anything with a good chassis to start out with that can be potentially cheap to buy. The only reason I don't say fiesta's is i didn't like the way mine always understeered, and it wasn't a fun car to drive hard even with uprated/renewed suspension/eibachs springs.

Depends on the price range really. I was guessing you were looking under 1k?

205 gti, or 106 gti. as standard both cars handle really well, fairly easy to get parts for them, and cheap to buy.

im looking at trayer so i can not worry about tax and mot ect as i want to wack a huge engine in at some point so tralier

You should go for a cheap redtop corsa quick small car

go for the corsa red top (even though the engines are well heavy)
but 205's are meant to handle a dream because of how close the wheels are to each corner of the car.
but generally i hate french cars!!! (no offence to pug owners )

after witnessing the RS day at Lydden hill on sunday:

mk5 ZS with strut braces and suspension will be ample or a mk3 Si with mods as there was a blue one flying round (2.0)

or ST's as they were ripping it up, but a bit ££££
