    Which Would You Choose?

    So, let’s hypothetically assume that you're a racing driver. What kind of racing would you choose to be in and why? Single seaters, rally cars, sports cars, stock cars, etc. What is in your repertoire of awesome racing?

    F1, because it's the pinacle of motorsports. Then after 30 undefeated years I'd take my super model wife and retire to sports cars.

    I'd love to move around betwen GT racing and Touring cars, i'm not to fond of single seaters and the way aerodinamics afect their behaviour. Gt would be great, not to slow and not to fast, and Touring cars for that close racing i really like.

    I have no repertoire of awsome racing, just very amateur Karting and 5 laps of Estoril in a heated persuit of a Porsche instructor.

    Classic rally without too much of the technology that floods modern racing.

    I have to agree with you there. And also, the fact that it seems that it is easy to be in one of those F1 cars, but in real fact, those G-Forces will really put a LOT of strain in your body.

    Rally (Dakar style first, then WRC style), Hill Climb (you against the clock) and Touring Cars (close racing)

    let me see...F1 for some years, just because of the level of the paychecks.
    than I would split my time between GT/LM prototypes and rallying, WRC and some rally raid.
    passed the 45 years old or so, just historical racing, rallies, F1, GT and so on.
    so everything, thank you.

    Touring cars. Not today's version of it, but the 90s golden years.

    Which Would You Choose?

    Preferably a classic or vintage touring/sports car series where I could thrash around in a Lotus Cortina or a Lotus/ Westfield Eleven. Have always found momentum racing more enjoyable than just flat out speed, as well as the wonderful sound of a hard working small displacement engine.
    Aah ... now that would be bliss.
