Yesterday, I bought a BMW M3 CSL and took it for a ride 'round the 'Ring. To me, there is something magical about driving an M3 on the 'Ring... even though it's virtual it feels good, it looks great in the replay, it's almost as if the two were made for each other.

So, that's why I thought of this thread. Do you have a 'magical combination' of a car and a track? This is not about laptimes, bhp or mph, it's about the undefinable magic between the car and the track...

So I'd go for:

The 'Ring - BMW M3 CSL

Peugeot 205 T16 at Scuba Wet!

Absolutely made for each other. The Pug becomes a natural drift machine in the wet, especially with... *thinks*... N2 tyres.

Suzuki GSX/R-4 at any track. Fully tuned and lightweighted with the right gears, it is capable of beating JGTC cars, so it must be able to beat a DTM car as well. I've got a 4'13.000 around La Sarthe I, topping out at 180mp/h.

BMW Z4, stock, all driving aids off, standard tires on Nurburgring. Feels so good. I like it much better than the M3 surprisingly.
