Necessary tools/track gear for new MKV owner looking to AutoX

[MKVDevo]

My former track experience involves towing a track dedicated drift car. With the purchase of this MkV, i would like to drive the car to and from "local" autox events.

Can some of you with experience suggest what tools and gear I would need to fit in the limited space the car offers? I realize a cordless impact and a tool wrap with wrenches and sockets and tire gauge are probably bare minimum.

Please advise, thanks!!

Good set of torx and e-torx for starters.

That is helpful, thank you!

Really basic 'wrenching on cars' shit, but the BMW is all torx/etorx and metric wrenches. A small toolbox will take the entire car apart.

Yea get those pucks!

Fun fact, out of the 41 track days I have done in the Supra so far I have only had to jack up the car 2 times. Both times because of a rock in the front brake dust shield.

I actually stopped bringing a jack and jackstand because I just borrow one from the 50+ people that are there.
