My girlfriend has bought me a supercar experience day voucher for Christmas with a multiple choice car/circuit combo, but I'm feeling spoiled for choice and need help deciding!

The cars are:
Ferrari 360
911 turbo
Lambo Gallardo
Audi R8
Aston Martin (DB9?)
Nissan GTR (Prestwold Hall only)
V8 Touring car (Corby only)

Circuits:
Donington
Corby
Silverstone (Aston & Ferrari only)
Wigan
Elvington
Great Tew
Mallory Park
Prestwold Hall
Seighford
Teeside (Aston only)

I'm not hugely familiar with where all the UK circuits are, but I know Donington is one I'd definitely enjoy driving, and to narrow it down further I'd expect the V8 touring car to be a road-going VXR. Given the choices I'll take something more exotic than a Nissan. I'm not a fan of Porsche's and I don't fancy the Aston as they're more tourers than track cars.

So that leaves the 360, Gallardo and R8. Which would you choose?

Driven a 360 and 911 gt3, preferred the 911 which I wasn't expecting tbh. Probably pick lambo out of those.

I would say make sure you do it on a proper track, I've been to elvington and the course laid out in cones wasn't the best.

I've driven a 360 and Gallardo at Rockingham and I much preferred the Gallardo. That would be my recommendation. Yes

I would recommend the 911 turbo, although I might be a little bias.

They also nearly match the 306 in the handling dept. LOL

GTR, I did it at prestwold last year and the amount of people pussyfooting around in the super cars was funny, the instructor I was with allowed me to overtake other cars and let me have an extra 2 laps. The GTR was amazing to drive!

Gtr or lambo for me aswell. I love donington, great flowing circuit so I'd be more than happy hooning around there in either of them Yes As mentioned, definitely sack off any airfield circuits, they're just nowhere near as enjoyable as a proper track No

The GTR is just a Nissan with a smart phone. It may be more fun to drive and quicker round a track, but I doubt it's the kind of thing where I'll be let loose to go for lap times... 911's are just wrong. Never liked them, never will. They're just... wrong...

Definitely leaning more towards the Gallardo at Donington I think. Pretty set on Donny as I've been there and it looks even more fun in person than on camera; I've always wanted to drive there. Silverstone might sound all fancy and posh with it hosting the British GP but it'll only be the shortest circuit which is more or less 3 right handers, done.
