If co-driver's are allowed, the options are significantly opened up. My wife's godfather swaps supercars every month. Last year was a 458, this year is an MP4-12C. My father-in-law and I would just borrow whatever he's got at the time if he's busy and can't do it with me. One of my racing buddies here in Fernandina works at the Dodge dealership (just for fun...) and did say he wanted to do something like that in a Hellcat as a marketing stunt once they get a few on the lot. If he's not doing it with his wife, I'd totally be jumping in with him to release that 707hp of fun.
But the best option right now would be my car so I can add to it's story book.
Asking for money is harder than discounts, but the key is to begin asking everyone and anyone. Takes a little bit of work to research what you can give them, and tie it into the proposal. (Toyo RRs in 235/17 cost me 136ea instead of 226ea after some serious "asking" for sponsorship. That one is more valuable to me that any of my free parts so far).

I would worry about bringing an exotic to an event like that. I mean I know we all like watching Chris Harris drift a 12C or a 458 around some track, but what not everyone knows is they probably have two or three of them ready for him and have a whole team of support people there with the cars. I am just not sure I would trust an exotic to make it through some real track days nor be able to push it the way I would want to. With that being said, I sure wouldn't pass up the chance to do it.
