Get one of these. Learn it on a track and you'll be able to master just about any car out there:

if i could ever find one over here, there would be no second choices, but unfortunately

They are great cars and often offered to an affordable price

This car would probably be anything but cheap to maintain if used as a track car in Turkey...
other than that,great idea

I already got an STI, great daily driver but I dont find them very useful for track due to AWD.

will look into that.

Caterham Cars - Designed for racing, built for living

Performance of the Caterham is amazing I have seen is lap at RGT and both cars we driven by remarkable drivers.
I think the “Academy” is more than enough but it you like go for the “Superlight R400” anything more is just too much!!!

This one is so amazing, but also does not exist. I am starting to get angry with this country

The cost per hour of seat time is very very hard to beat & you'll get wheel to wheel racing. It usually costs about 3K per season in fuel & tyres.

I did some karting in past but I would like to do that at another level. Great advice though.

If these guys can put one together anyone can!!!

YouTube - DIY Caterham vs The Stig - Top Gear - BBC autos

Actually had a friend order the kit and put it together in about a week working 3-4 hours a day.

The car is very basic and parts are very much available all over even in Turkey…
Oh just remembered that I am going to a wedding in Kayseri this weekend
