Which one would you choose?

[Daggers89]

So, for Xmas my misses bought me a trackday at Bruntingthorpe, I can drive any one of the following cars, thing is I'm not quite sure what to pick, so, which one would you choose?:

DB9
DB9 Volante
V8 Vantage
R8
Bentley Conti GT
F355
360
F430
Gallardo
Gallardo Spyder
Murcielago
Porsche 996
Porsche 997
Caterham (I'm guessing R300 as it doesn't say)
Tvr (Again, guessing Tuscan)
Lotus Elise

I've already driven a Gallardo so I'm drawn to either the 430, Murcie or R8, thoughts please

I'd want to drive something with a proper gearbox. Drove a 430 and It was a bit too playstation for my liking.

Assuming the F355 is a manual I'd go for that.

Murcielago for me. Would love to drive that one

Yeah I felt the same with the Gallardo. Trouble is, you can't tell until the day whether it's a proper manual or not as I was told the Gallardo was a manual, til I got there!

Yes, that has to be the one to drive...

[Beemer billy]

What a list!! I'd go for for 430

[Allblackdup]

I've driven the F355, 996 and Elise and I'd love to drive the R8 but from that list it has to be the Murci!

Yup, I have to agree.

This!

I did, and I am now on my 3rd Caterham, never looked back.

Enjoy.

Do you know whether they discourage you from using all the revs? I've heard that a lot of places do, whilst others are happy for you to really experience and exploit the cars. This would be a factor in my choice of car.

The 355 may be this one:

The 355 if it is this one has been race prepared with a racing seat and roll cage so is a tight vehicle to get into.

The TVR is probably this one:


Both are at Brunters.

It's with the same company as the gallardo and at the same place, when I drove that they encouraged me to use the full rev range, although that was a good 3 years ago now so times may have changed.

My dad has a Tiger (similar to a caterham) which is VERY fun to drive, I'm only 21 so can't get insured on the road yet though, he let's me take that for a spin on the occasional car park etc so that's the only reason I wouldn't choose the caterham

When I did a driving day they encouraged me to press on as hard as I felt comfortable doing.

Everything else will feel like a truck in comparison.

In that case it would be between the F430 (exploitable and fun) and the Murci (experience and sensory overload). You lucky boy!

[Conian]

Deffo the Murci

[TheStoat]

I would have suggested the Gallardo Spyder for the added dimension of a convertible but you've already done the coupé. I'd suggest the Caterham because once you become addicted you'll be able to afford the car and running costs. Plus you'll learn how to really drive!

Audi R8! one sexy car! is it special enough for you though!? Doesn't have the supercar brand appeal of a Ferrari, Lambo or Aston does it!
