    UCP Track day

    Lets say UCP organized a track day and you all attended (that would be very cool BTW), what track would you pick for it and what car would you be driving?

    I'd pick Road America or Lime Rock in the US. Silverstone or LeMans in europe. Car: F430 or Exige.

    I think the mountain section of Bathurst would really sort the men from the boys, as well as right-off about half of the cars when they smack the rear quarter against the concrete walls So that probably wouldnt be the best of tracks, plus you cant exactly just rent it out whenever you want.

    A nice, fast, flowing track though is Phillip Island, so maybe everyone in Lotus 7 replica's going around that

    Make it a One-Make Race Series, around the world.

    We can go to each other's countries, race on the top circuits, drink in each others bars, and generally spread the good word of UCP!

    .......Or we could not :P

    i'd agree with clutch monkey and go the elfin MS8, turn in oversteer, mid corner oversteer and exit oversteer around whatever track is wide enough to deal with that

    HAS to be Bathurst, but only slightly ahead of Laguna Seca.
