The new house has a fairy steep long gravel drive. I doubt the Corvette will make it up, it’s just too light. I’ve seen some pretty damn steep drives done in both asphalt and in concrete. I’ve also seen some really steep township road in chip and seal. All 3 seem to hold up well. Anyone have experience in steep drives?
 
You looking to concrete or asphalt the entire thing? If so, I would personally be concerned about how shiny/slick fresh seal coat can be. With concrete you can always do a rougher brush finish to give a little texture.

If looking at recycled materials I would say the recycled asphalt as it will pack better and "hopefully" not wash out as bad.
