SciFrog:
Why would anyone (money aside) would want to drive a street legal car on a track unless you just do a couple of days a year? Safety will be much higher in the clubsport, street legal cars just have too many compromises to do serious track work...
I can think of a few reasons:
1. I live in the city with barely enough parking room for my current cars (not to mention a big truck and trailer)
2. I don't have the budget for buying a truck & trailer and all the fees that go along (tax/license/insurance/maintenance)
3. I want to be able to drive any new sports car that I buy on the Nurburgring (and they require street legal cars there, unless official race event - very few of these per year)
4. I like to be able to drive my sports cars in the mountains
5. I like to be able to drive my track car to the shop for repair or maintenance work (instead of towing it there)
6. There is no warranty on a race car (new Porsches have 4 year warranty and it applies on the track)
7. Buying a street legal car w/ Euro Delivery includes insurance for accidents that happen on roads and tracks (can extend for up to 6 months)
