I'd fancy single seaters the most, heard rally and ferrari etc are a bit poo cos' you can't drive very hard.

i did the rally at knockhill was very good and you can give it as much stick as you can handle
got another one for my 21st at the weekend from the girlfriend which i will be doing the ferrari with so i will let you know what it is like when i do it

Single seaters i didnt enjoy, 4k rev limit, you have to follow the leader for about 10 laps and then youre allowed to go, but like i was pushing the car etc and getting it sideways i got pulled in just when the fun began!
The rallying was 130 bhp through a 6 speed box, 8k rev limit do what you want 
after 10 mins i was powersliding a front wheel drive car at 80 mph 
was much more fun and i could let my own driving style show
not blowing my own trumpet but i got 97% on my assesment

Ferrari I know for a fact you can't rev passed 5.5-6k rally would be good i suppose because whatever happens you end up giving it stick and sliding a bit, spose they're a bit more worried about you in a single seater and more worried about the cars with the ferrari's etc.

AI went to watch my friend do one at Rockingham, it was well shit, they just went round the circular track in groups of four. Proper waste of a day. I'd do the rally one if i was to pick. At least you will learn something from it.
