So, we want to know: what car, past or present, has the best sounding exhaust from the factory? Personally my favourite is the Porsche Carrera GT. I first heard one at the 2006 Goodwood Festival of Speed and couldn’t believe how close a road car could get to replicating a Formula 1 soundtrack. I’ve had a love affair with V10s ever since!

So we want to know: who do you think is the wildest driver of all time? Let us know your suggestions!
