Choose from any driver, any car, any track/road, obviously 2 seat cars only.

I initially thought Rohrl/917-30/Targa Florio but that would be pretty crazy.

Moss/300SLR/Mille Miglia must have been an incredible experience.

A few other ideas..

Senna/917K/Spa
Fangio/250TR/Nordschleife
Moss/Facel Vega HK500/On route to the French GP
Clark/Lotus Cortina/Goodwood
Nuvolari/Alfa Bimotore/Monaco GP (rain)

have you got a death wish or something??? biggrin

For me, I'm always amazed at pro drivers: how smooth they are, how controlled. Its something I admire, and always try to do (but never achieve). I like to sit back and admire them. Therefore, I would choose something very long: the Targa Florio, perhaps. And someone like Vic Elford or Paul Frere would do me fine

I'd let him choose the car, as we would then see the car and driver at their best...


...Nah. Stuff it. I'll take Gerry Marshall in the Marsh plant Aston V8, circa 1993. Brands GP circuit.

Norman Dewis / Jaguar E-Type / Browns Lane to Geneva

Stefan Roser / RUF Yellowbird / Nurburgring

Probably. I've had lots of road car passenger rides with pro drivers before and a lot of them have failed to register on the brown trousers scale.

I think Villeneuve would have been the equivalent of winding it up to 11. hehe
