Taylor Barnard is the latest to try his hand at a game of Would You Rather, as we got the AIX Racing driver to sit down and answer some tricky questions earlier this season.
The Briton is confident in his decisions especially when choosing between oversteer and understeer, although he struggles when picking whether he would drink from his teammates or his Team Principal’s shoe.
WEIGHTS OR CARDIO?
“Weights. I don't know, with cardio it’s sometimes enjoyable but with weights, you get the feeling of the pump and the muscles and it's a bit more pleasurable I'd say.”
HOME OR MONACO GP WIN?
“Home race, definitely. I was really close last year at Silverstone and that hurt a lot so home race.”

UNDERSTEER OR OVERSTEER?
“Oversteer. A hundred percent. I hate understeer so much. Definitely oversteer.”
GIVE UP YOUR FAVOURITE MEAL FOR LIFE OR EAT IT EVERY DAY FOR A YEAR?
“Everyday. I'd eat enchiladas every day. I wouldn't get sick of it.”
HANDS FOR FEET OR FEET FOR HANDS?
“Oh, that's a good question. Hands for feet, you'd be more mobile, I guess. If you could just put your fingers together if you have to, so hands for feet.
FIRST TO ARRIVE OR LAST TO ARRIVE?
“First to arrive. Punctuality!”
TOO HOT OR TOO COLD?
“Too cold. I'm British. You can just put coats on. I struggle sleeping a lot when it’s too hot. You can put a jacket on in the day or warm yourself up by doing other things but when it's too hot, it's difficult to escape it.”

DRIVE WITH A RACE SUIT THAT’S TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL?
“Too big. I had a very tight one last year and you are not very mobile. It's not nice. The biggest issue was getting in and out of the car.”
ROCK OR HIP HOP?
“Hip Hop definitely. I don’t know particularly songs or artists. I know there are a lot of people who really know the artists and the songs, I just go through Spotify and go ‘that one is nice’ and just listen to it now and again.”
KARAOKE OR DANCE OFF?
“A dance off but I can't dance. It's just better vibes. Then I can give you the answer from earlier to my most embarrassing moment.”
INDY 500 OR 24 HOURS OF LE MANS?
“I'd say Le Mans. Both are historic races but the idea of racing Le Mans at the moment is more appealing to me.”
ABILITY TO TELEPORT OR READ PEOPLE’S MINDS?
“Teleport. Sometimes I think it’s better that I don't know what people are thinking. But imagine being able to teleport to races, no jetlag, nothing, you're fine, that would be great.”
OPTION PRIME OR PRIME OPTION?
“Option Prime. Just because it worked for me last week.”

SHOEY OUT OF YOUR TEAMMATE’S SHOE OR YOUR BOSS’ SHOE?
“Neither if I'm honest. Oh my God, I don't know. Okay I'll say my team boss only because Joshua would have done the whole race as well and would be sweatier.”
DIVE UP THE INSIDE OR SWEEP AROUND THE OUTSIDE?
“Round the outside. It just looks cooler.”
WIN FROM POLE OR WIN FROM LAST?
“From last. It feels better. It's always nice to be in a position where you start from pole and win but the races where make so many overtakes and you still on edge if you're not sure if you're going to win but the confidence you get when you are overtaking, catching and overtaking, it's a really, really nice feeling.”
