Cleggie has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
We've done track days in an old 2 litre cavalier and 1.8 sierra, which you would think would be very slow, but we had a great time and it was all in the corners. We could easily catch, (or keep up with) cars like Lotus etc and we had just the cheapest tyres on. If pushed too hard in the corners, we didn't loose time, but the tyres made a horrible ripping sound and, at the end if the day and lots of laps, we hadn't really made an impression on the tread, but had worn off, and sometimes ripped off the shoulder tread. I race an F3 and previously FF1600, my opinion...use the cheapest tyre you can, and, instead, use the extra cash you've saved on the tyres on more fuel and do more laps, practice makes perfect....
