An Aston martin DB9 as you need some comfort to get through such a journey (and a GT40 would rattle you to bits and stick no chance of winning as its cant pass a garage...either for fuel or for repairs   ;D ;D ;D)

Theres another race held in america every year,  Cant remember the route, but they close the road to the public and lift the speed limit.

Recent winners have included highly tuned ZO6 vettes and a few years ago a porche 959 won it,
