Nipping down the autobahn is like a track day for me.

How about a Caterham?  That'd be a decent way to get the adrenaline pump!  Nice and light to drag around too!

A Caterham would sink in that much water.

Can't see the tub sealing that well, sink like a stone once the bow wave comes over the top.

Always liked scoobys. They are not bad on a bit of the rough stuff with some decent rubber.

Cant do the rough stuff with my back unfortunately... So it will be all nice smooth circuits, closest to me being Rockingham and Mallory Park.
