If the goal is to learn how to road race, you want to learn in a small, light RWD car. That is unless you plan to stick with FWD or AWD. But most race cars are RWD and the technique for driving them is quite different. That’s a problem in the snow belt if the car is also going to be a DD, because let’s face it: RWD isn’t the best in the snow. But with a good set of winter tires on all 4 it can work and there is really no comparison on the track. RWD is more fun and more useful for skill development. Miata with 3 sets of tires is what I would do unless I needed \>2 seats. ---
