Car on the TT Course
Just reading about Tony Pond driving a Rover on the Isle of Man TT Course and I just wondered:
Your kindly billionaire Uncle has promised you a lap of the course in any car you like, road or competition. Which one?
I'm torn between a Veyron or a Le Mans prototype.

I think the track (route) would be too bumpy to get the power down on the Veyron, and the mountain course is very bendy.
I reckon id like to do it in a classic Ferrari or an Aston DBR.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

i'd take my DAX 
and then ask him for the money of the cost of a supercar, don't know about him but it would put a smile on my face!

BRM v16, I reckon the sound bouncing off the mountains would sound unbelievable

Some sort of tarmac rally car.
Anything else would be wasted by the roughness of the roads and you do want to go fast.
Manta 400 would be the one for me.

Since the RS200 has gone I'll take a 6R4 ideal for twisty rough roads if not as pretty.

That's a great video, you can hear the terror/relief in the navigators voice after they clip that wall

As the other Group B's have been taken, I reckon it would have to be the Audi Quattro
