Question Which should I choose?

OK, won a "Gift Experience" as I hit a target at work. So, I have the choice of going to Silverstone and driving one of the following cars:

Circuit Racing - track prepared saloon car or sports car then a rear engined single seater (obviously RWD = death trap)

Single Seater - fast!

Rally (sl*g) - prolly a Peugeot 206 or similar

Caterham 7 - wheelspins galore

Lotus Elise - chuckability

So what should I do. I'm leaning towards the circuit racing or rally. If anyone has been on one of these, let me know what you think. Even if you haven't, which one should I choose?

Cheers

I'd love to do the rally experience although any of them would be cool.

I would only do the circuit ones if you got to race against others

I've done a rally day in a group N Impreza at Bill Gwynne's and it was one of the most fun days I've ever had in a car, you can go pretty mental with it and get to do loads of handbrake turns

You can do a circuit any day in your own car (well, sort of ) but it's not every day you get to chuck a rally car about on a loose surface

Did a rally one many years ago in an old MkII Escort. Huge fun. Am now saving up to do one of the Bill Gwynne days.

I did the saloon/single seater a while back - superb fun.Plus you get to thrash the cars and get the wheels screeching!

I personally would go for the elise - perfect track car.

99.999999% sure of going for the Rally experience. Guessed I do enough track miles so perhaps something a bit different will do me some good.

Can't wait, have to take it before the end of November, plus I get a day off work too!

been to rally experience at rally school ireland a couple of times. Brill. Also been single seater racing at mondello (well - pretending) Can't remember the type of car - possibly reynard?, but they had cossie engines fitted. Absofekinloutely mental.....

green - bootchangegearchangegeatchangegearchangegearseecor nerbrake - feel a bit embarassed that you have stopped about 150 yards short of the corner - accelerate for a bit, round corner. Get hotter and hotter every lap until you think you can stop from 140 - 0 in 3 feet - hit gravel at 137 MPH

If I had the choice I would do both (nah - do the rally)
