I'm by no means a track day 'expert' but you will find far, far, far more Porsches, BMW's, Corvette's and Miata's on the track than Ferrari's, or Lambo's. You'll be very hard pressed to see any 'special edition' Lambo or Ferrari on track...488 Pista/Aperta, or LaFerrari. Most of those are garage queens or street only machines. I'm sure someone will chime in about how their local track has them every weekend...but the truth is, they are probably less than 1% of the cars you'll actually see on track (running hard), esp. when compared to Porsche, Vette etc...
I know what regular maintenance costs on my Ferrari's are, and I really have no interest in knowing what track day costs would be, esp. if something broke...I'm not even talking about consumables. The word expensive comes to mind. Lastly, just because people can afford a $400k car, doesn't mean they want a $50k-$100k+ repair bill. I'd hate to see a repair bill on a McLaren Senna...despite it being a track beast. No one enjoys writing big checks, even wealthy folks.

i decided to buy a second set of wheels so I can reverse each set of tires and get another session or two out of them and drive home on good rubber. On the street I’m running regular pilot sports now and Cup 2s just for the track. Hopefully save a little of the consumable expenses.
