This was our third successful Euro tour, I am the organisor and this year we had 22 cars and 42 people mainly in Honda type r's but we also had a Megan R26 a skoda VRS and a Scooby JDM type r version. the group of people were very diverse aged from 18-60. the trip was 8 days long
day one Dover to Dijon stopping at Reims old pit lanes
day two Dijon to Nice taking the route de napoleon and the verdon gorge
Day three rest day some went to Monaco others St Tropez
Day four Nice to Martigny in Switzerland follow the the route de grand alpes petit st bernard pass, grand st bernard pass mont cenis and numerous others
Day five Martigny to Garmisch Partenkirchen taking in the furka pass stelvio pass passo del bernino and duty free shopping in livgno
Day six Garmisch Partenkirchen to Baden baden taking in grossglockner
Day seven early start up to koblenz and the nurburgring
Day eight back home

in total we did between 2500-3600 miles depending where you lived in the UK
we visited England, France, Monaco, Italy. Switzerland, Livgno, Germany, Austria and Belgium
the event was totally accident free and no speeding tickets but majority of the routes were none motorway, the hotels were half board 3-4 star.

Great photos, and recognise a lot of the places. We went with Driving Adventures last year to Switzerland, Stelvio etc. This year we did trip to Cannes, seeing Millau, Gorge de Tarn, Route Napolean etc. Mostly TVRs tho, so had a few tickets but no break downs this year!!

Cool trip!

If you don't mind me asking, how much did that cost per car?

The accommodation was £350 for 7 nights half board 4 star based on two sharing a double or a twin, about £450 for single. the ferry was £54 return. and about £400-£500 worth of fuel depending on where you live in the UK.
