As lovely sounding and beautiful looking the Gurney Eagle is, by today's standards it is comically slow. Probably slower lap for lap that a BTCC car.
So, in my dream land.....
A 1960s pre-wings car.
Modern materials for the body and tub. (Carbon tubs have been around for what, nearly 40 years?)
Tub able to accommodate drivers up to 2 metres tall.
Manual, 6 speed gearbox, ratios fixed for the year.
Engine..... Hmmmmm. 18,000rpm limit if a N/A V8? Freedom over V angle.
Tyres? Big and black.
My "more refined" was something along those lines, utilising the advantages of more modern technology. Perhaps the manual 6-speeder is a wee bit retrograde, considering all the paddle shifts in road cars.
