What would be an ideal track car (for a few hundred quid or so) that i can abuse. It doesnt have to be fast, but i want to learn to track drive and i want something that i can abuse and it will keep coming back for more.
Just want it to handle alright, speed not important.

AX GT. This is what me and my mate were thinking of getting. They're disgracefully cheap.
Even a 1.1/1.4 forte could be bought and a different lump dropped in as they came with the GT bodykit.
Only thing I was told is they ain't that fast on the straights, but if it's for learning that shouldn't really matter. Obviously it matters even less at small tight tracks like Ty Croes.
Another option, if you can find one, would be a ZX 16v, but they're mega rare.

It would probably be more down to luck as to how well it held out. You could be lucky with a 205 GTi and have no problems, or you coud be unlucky and have something go wrong with, say, a Corolla GTi. Dunno really, a Fiesta XR2 would be a good bet. Others...
Mk2 Golf GTi
Any old BMW
Corolla GTi
Peugeot 309 GTi
Capri
Citroen AX GT
Vauxhall Nova/Astra GTE
I think someone should buy a banger to use as a 'loaner' for the Ty Croes track day
