What would it be and why? Or even when?
Let pretend we were good enough for 1hr to drive them by magic.

Volvo s40 or Laguna back in the yester years of BTCC! Rubbin is racing!

Ferrari 250 LM.

Where?

At Le Mans of course.

When?

All day long.

Why?

Just look at it

It has to be the ThrustSSC for me.

alesi's ferrari 412t2.

I'd have to get my Nigel on and go for the Williams FW14B with all the electric gubbins that subsequently got banned! Red 5 is alive!

I'm a sucker for the 911 so;

Charlie-Bravo · 21-01-2021 3:31pm

Ford GT40...I've no idea why that was the first to come to my mind. Perhaps a childhood memory of something a little special, and very noisy.

selectamatic · 21-01-2021 5:53pm

Daf turbo twin x1 Dakar Rally truck.

flazio · 21-01-2021 5:53pm

Hope they have air con.

Out of all of Porsche's great race cars you pick a recent 911 :eek:

Yup, I'm a fanboy of the modern 911 and not ashamed

. Also love that livery, also flying lizard were around when I was first getting into sports car racing, so it has big sentimental value to me. Sad that the GTE category in IMSA in now on it's last legs.

My hero's B194

gsi300024v · 25-01-2021 2:32pm

Superbikes back with foggy or the 500cc bikes must have been crazy.
James Deane s15 in Riga drift track.
Or the Bathurst race with the chickadee commodore I think early 80s.

gsi300024v · 25-01-2021 3:10pm

Pat Dorans rs200 around Mondello in rallycross with 900ish bhp, or a modern day euro rally cross car.

chopperbyrne · 25-01-2021 8:38pm

Group B Lancia Rally 037

Quattro S1, I'd write it off but it would be an exhilarating minute or two

Was this the car he said he couldn't hear the pit radio and just went for a mega qual lap and didn't need to and was told not to?

25-01-2021 10:08pm

Bolide at Le Mans

1,825 Bhp, 1,250 Kg

I'd one lap in the passenger seat of this bad boy and it terrified and exhilarated me in equal measure.

But if I'd to pick one that I could drive on my own and not die, it'd be another deathtrap, The Porsche 917

Cool_CM · 31-01-2021 1:53am

Not the Jordan that most people would go for, but you can get 10 laps in the EJ12 if you have a spare ₤1,000 lying around (plus ₤2,500 security deposit):

muckwarrior · 04-02-2021 10:59pm

Ideally a Jordan 199, or Mazda 787B, but I'd settle for one of these

Is that the old Australian Grand Prix track?

Largely, yes. the back straight was shorter than in the F1 days. Was used by the SuperCar series until last year, when the local tourism commission pulled funding.

probably a Williams fw14b and a FW11, i doubt i would even get them off the line though !

We'd be grand, the FW14B had launch control!

Max Headroom · 07-02-2021 11:23am

JPS Lotus...best looking car ever

Cork Trucker · 07-02-2021 11:56am

1995 Ferrari F1 car, the last with a V12 engine.

passatman86 · 07-02-2021 11:59am

Primera btcc

CoBo55 · 07-02-2021 12:02pm

It would have to be a MK1 lotus Cortina.

Autosport have a Williams special podcast at the moment which you would enjoy I would say

FR85 · 07-03-2021 10:16pm

Would have to be a Vauxhall Cavalier from the mid nineties, BTCC, pre aero kit and before the Vectra. Cleland era machine. The Vectra was a load of pants if memory serves me.

Or I'd settle for the Primera from 97/98, Leslie and Reid.

BTCC went downhill after the super saloons went.

Andrewf20 · 13-03-2021 10:15pm

Probably the 1970 Matra F1 car at the old 8 mile SPA circuit. It was a real screamer. Must have been unreal throwing in into Burnenville corner and the masta kink at 180mph...

IF you could drive any motorsport car?
