Hi Calvin and welcome.

I took my 156 for a spin at Winton a few years back and it was extremely well behaved and a lot of fun. I mean it's still a road car and one with not a lot of grunt but it was still fun. Would of course need better brake pads etc for any extended track use but the fundamentals are there.

Good luck and hope to see you at the track!
