I am just not sure why they chose to focus on its track side when it's a car like a Cayman which rarely see a track as a percentage of cars out there.
The reality is I know 2 Caymans owned by middle to retired age women who use them mostly to go to the country club, spa and coffee mornings. I know a dozen guys at work who use them mostly as their second or third car and try to keep the mileage down to 6000 miles a year and would be horrified at the prospect of shaving 6000 miles of rubber of the wheels in a single track day.
This is a luxury two seat sports car with an exclusive brand and image an is often bought for the badge. It has to work tootling through traffic getting hone from work, it has to look really great, it has to feel as well built as their other Audi and BMW.
I would imagine track performance would be of interest to no more than 15% of the Emira customers who actually buy the car.
That's why I liked Harrys review so much. We got to see it dancing down a Cotswold B road with the chassis performing its magic and the steering writhing with feedback. The absolute limit of front end turn in at 100mph on a circuit is kinda - meh.
