Go with the Atom, purely because it is so different and more or an extreme experience!

Atom because it is a track car.

Porsche because I've never driven one and am curious about the whole engine at the rear/ handling thing. The engine is still there?

Beats me why you went in the GTR, or why anyone would go in the Subaru. They're just souped up saloon cars. You have the opportunity to have a crack in something different.

Agree with above.
Aerial and 911 for testing your driving skills, the GTR is too easy so just joy if anything.
If it's owt like the driving days I did where the owner is in the car with you telling you how to drive then imo it's a waste of money!

thanks for the input so far everyone


can't explain why i went for the GTR first it was like a itch i had to scratch

info on the atom >> Our version has a Supercharged 2 litre Honda engine producing 300 Bhp which allows the car to go from 0-60 in just 2.7 seconds! And will reach 100 Mph in only 6.8 seconds!

I did ask the instructor if I could push the car to its limits, his exact words were "its not my car just don't kill me"

push the car to its limits on my first trackday how wrong was I lol

Atom is a given.

I also picked the 911 but could have gone Ferrari/ Lamborghini.

I'm not sure I'd bother turning up for the GTR, Subaru or Elise.

I'd have gone for the Atom and the GTR (proper cars developed for the track), but you've already tried a GTR so has to be the Ferrari.

Porsches are great, but a bit less exclusive the Ferraris... you are more likely to get a chance in a Porsche one day than you are in a Ferrari.

Enjoy!

LOL at the STI option with everything else on offer.

Good choices.

If you change your mind on the day, don't let anyone talk you out of the Atom.
