As for going back, now that I Know what I know and I'm not driving FFs at the track, I'll be returning to BMW for the fun of driving street cars on fast tracks with other good drivers. Even though I make that choice today, I'd recommend Skippy as superior for learning racing skills.

Oh, all thought the Skippy cars are specialized full race cars, the skills do easily transfer to big, heavy street cars.
