As the title suggests, if you could only drive one car on one circuit for one lap what would it be? You're allowed to take the circuit 'in period' if it has been modified since. Because I had huge trouble deciding I will allow a reserve. Here's mine to kick us off:

My choice:
Lotus 98T in qualifying trim, Brands Hatch GP circuit, 1986

My reserve:
Porsche 956, Nurburgring Nordschleife, 1983

Over to you...

Porsche 917 1970 Brands Hatch

(but preferably without the rain!) - BOAC 1000 - my first "big" motorsport spectating event and the most memorable by far

Easy, GT40 at Le Mans. A Porsche 917 might be a bit too scary!

Hey, my first big race event was also the BOAC 1000 at Brands and it also pissed down all day, me and a mate went there on public transport, train to somewhere (Sevenoaks?) then a bus... We had free tickets because his mum worked for BOAC but I would have thought it was more like 1968 or 69? Did it rain every year at the BOAC 1000? If not then I guess I must have been at the same event! We'd have been 13... biggrin

I'd want my money worth, so either the Targa Florio route (30 mile lap???) or the route of the Paris dakar

For the targe florio, maybe the 908? or a DBR1. Or a DBR9

Agreed - the 917/30 was mental everywhere; to put one round the Targa Florio would be beyond crazy! Good call.

Senna's 1991 McLaren, Adelaide or Nordschleife. Ooh, or the old Reims circuit. I can't decide!
