Im planning a trip with my brother into Europe. I thought i would travel down and stay in France then go to the Nurburgring and then head down to Switerzand and maybe cross into Italy.
I remember that Evo magazine did a review on the best roads to drive through in Europe and i would like to find those copies but does anyone know another source i can use to plan a trip like this, we would prefer to rent a chalet in Switzerland but we are flexible.
Any recommendations where to go or stay ?
Using a GT3 would i be better using Euro Tunnel or going by ferry ?
Any other tips ?

Stelvio pass yes

Plenty of other mountain passes in France, Switzerland and Italy, well worth visiting but crucially it depends when you intend to go as many are only open for a few months in the summer. There are a few hotels at the top of Stevlio, too

Fuji, after doing Europe via the tunnel and ferry I would swear by the tunnel, it's quicker, so, so quicker!, you get to stay with your car and the ramps aren't too bad. Plus people can't open their doors into your car!!
