This thing still thumps along nicely at pace, 7,500 miles covered now, and a recent brief venture into the world of public charging...
TLDW: I arrived, I charged, I paid, I left, twice.
I can't wait for this, it's been a circuit on my wish list for a long time.
What's the track number requirement?
If needed I could probably get another 3 to jump in.
Don't forget the wheel centre caps.

I did 125k miles in my 172 Cup, 24k miles in my Clio 200, and 64k miles in my mk7 Fiesta ST.

You're in recovery from the M140i ///M car illusion/delusion.
As a daily, as something usable, comfortable, practical, and with incredible pace, I would have another M140i in a heartbeat, they're so good.
But as something you occasionally want to set your pants on fire, nah, they just don't...
I'm 6,000 miles in with the i3 now...and when out for a drive, just for the sake of a drive, the lack of ICE noise doesn't bother me at all...that's a genuine surprise as I thought I would need those RPM sensory inputs to connect with and enjoy the car.
But I've learned that the i3 still has...
Looking back through photos of mine, nope, 172 Cups did not have a rear centre seatbelt.
Can they be retro fitted? Why would you?
Something doesn't smell right to me.
