I am very lucky that my local track allow verts, just helmet and popup roll bars.
I went track days in last year few times, its a slow speed track, lots of low speed turns, so I did top down, feel like a boss.
The only thing I worried about is rigidity, I can feel the rear half of the body is way soft compare to my friends M235i Coupe / M2 so I am considering get some sway bar or what ever something to try to fix this problem.
Anyway, Top down track days are a blast and who care the lap time? |
Depending on the track I would not track a soft top without some rollover protection. Especially the tracks around here with horrible runoff.
I'm sure you get more rigidity with the top up, but it will be minimal. Depending on the track you could be faster with the top down. Sway bars will help with body roll, but may amplify chassis flex. Keep that in mind.
I know some people on here like going with different sway bars, but there is very little ROI with them in terms of the parts and labor cost. Better to be spent on other areas depending on what direction you want to go with the car.
My opinion anyway.
