Autocross..... safe, fun, solo..... have done two events w/ 4 runs each day and just completed an "Instructor Day" where the top dogs in the club show us drills for certain sections of the course.... then you put it all together in afternoon full course runs. I dropped 2.5 seconds from 8am first run to 4pm final run.... the mk5 gti is a blast on an auto x course..... find a local club now!!
