I agree that kids need to learn about the physics in a car by taking proper driver trainings on track . I will do that with mine . But this can also lead to overconfidence on public roads . Hopefully they will grasp the difference between public road and a track .

Today is not the same as 35  years ago .  Young people are less prone to drive fast on public roads due to heavier traffic laws, heavier traffic , less car culture . 

The above Land Rover would be best indecision

My godchild wants to (just) get a driving licence next year, but has no whatsoever desire to own a car...times are changing, car-sharing, rental car, if needed, etc ...
