I think I would have to choose Spa in some nice sports car that I could handle, like maybe a Corvette or some Porshe or maybe a Ferrari.

I would really love to drive an open wheel car around it but I think that would be a bit too much for me to handle unless the thing just had no power at all. then how fun would that be!

Fuji Speedway in the Mine's Nissan Skyline GTR Time Attack car. It has 600BHP but is set up so well, it is faster than some 1000BHP GTR time attack cars.

If you're talking no limits it'd be the Ferrari F2002 round Spa, but I think I'd spend more time going backwards into the armco!

I'd be scared I wouldn't even be able to get a F1 car out of the pit lane!

I'm sure there's no way I would actually be able to enjoy driving it.

most of us would probably freak out when the F1 car would be at 200 kp/h, we would end up braking way before the turn and stalling it.
But that doesn't mean I'd like to give it a try!

To drive it around Spa.

Can this include bikes. Because in that case, it would be the Honda Moto GP bike at Laguna Seca. Car. Ferrari 250 Testarossa at an early, long straightaway LeMans. vintage. new. 2001 Willams-BMW at Monza.

722 around the old Nuburgring. Of course if it wasn't on a track then I'd like to take it on the full course of the Monte.

Ferrari F2002 around Suzuka or Monza before it was screwed over. Or a Caterham around Brands GP, which I'm seriously thinking about doing :D

Aston Martin DBR9. Around Spa. Or even the local track here. I wouldn't be fussy. I would even enjoy trailering it down to the track in my cruddy old Subi! :D

I was going to say that! No really, I was.

Other than that, a Formula 3 car at Monaco, or a Ferrari 512M at the Nurburgring.

Has to be either the old Nurburgring or Spa and either a Lola CART/Champ Car or a Tyrrell 014 would be the weapon of fun.

A regular Commodore at Bathurst doing only road speeds is a difficult experience. On the downhill run from Skyline to Forrest's Elbow you actually lose sight of the road at times as it dips away from you.

People who drive the V8 Supercars around there in anger are very talented, special and more importantly slightly nuts :D

I suspect that the 427 (which probably wasn't a fair fight for the competitors) would have been a more "sedate" drive than the 1000. It was a real travesty that the car was wasted and didn't get to either Le Mans or Spa.

Great minds do indeed think alike.

Actually, I'd go for Spa, Bathurst and Le Mans.

And Adelaide.

It would be incredibly tight... it would be very slow around the hairpins at Casino Square.

I'd go to Mid Ohio with the car in the attached photo! I figure with the added downforce this baby generated, I wouldn't embarass myself to much! :blackeye:
