Circuit, I get bored when there aren't any corners to go around. I'd try my luck at anything, even drifting, but stuff like SuperGT and OSCA is what I'd choose to do seriously if I got the chance.

Still reckon rallying is the best motorsport EVER invented.
Brute force and ignorance always prevails.

Failure comes from too little brute force, or too little ignorance.

yeah gravel is awesome

but i get more thrill from seeing some top drivers and cars battling it out wheel to wheel!

if it came down to choosing between circuit and rally
circuit every time.
but rally would be above everything else.

Rally = for crazy people/hard men.

I'll take the soft option of thrashing around a circuit, every time. Less banks to fall off/crash into, less trees/bridges/farmers fences to nail.

If you think drags are boring, you need more power and some practice :D My car is far from quick, yet at the last drags I was at I had some of the biggest rushes I've had in any kind of sport... being neck and neck with someone all the way to the end is awesome.

Drag racing is quite cool to participate in because its very mano e mano. Its not just the accelerating, its the getting the lights right, keeping your cool enough to get the launch right (in 2WDs with enough that they can turn tires to smoke with too much throttle enthusiasm) and making sure you don't stuff anything up all the way down the strip... so long as you don't, the rest of the ride is as much as anything finding out the results of the start bit and how that combined with your car stacks up against the other persons efforts.

I love doing Traffic Light GP in the rolla, show these boyracers who's boss!

But no, I like a bit of everything. Once the Soarer is ready I'll get straight in to drags until I reach the point where I have to go Pro Street and then I'll switch over to Circuit.

I like allsorts, though I'd only compete in circuit and track stuff. Maybe a sealed hillclimb type event one day.
I'm way too soft for rally :(
