Doing this with one night to stop somewhere along the way, don't need to be at Calais until 530pm. Does anyone have any suggested routes, hopefully to include some good stretches of Autobahn? On the way down to Croatia via Innsbruck had a few decent bits south of Ulm but otherwise mostly roadworks and/or traffic were annoying.

Any advice on stopover location also welcome.

Thanks
Steve

That's very helpful, thanks for the tips. Will have a look into some of those suggested stops. :-)

Thanks for further tips and interesting discussion! On the way down I had an indicated 157mph somewhere south of Ulm but there were no stretches for sustained high speeds - this was going via Saarbrucken/Mannheim/Heilbronn/Ulm then to Innsbruck.

In terms of hotels then preferably a small town/village with parking and (relatively) decent food. The hotel doesn't need to be especially high end but not looking for a cheap Formula 1 etc type of thing either.

If a vmax could be achieved after a remap and limiter removal that would of course be particularly rewarding :-)

Had a look as best as I can on my iPhone at that A48 route and it looks potentially appealing....

Well the autobahns were pretty packed with only a few brief opportunities to go seriously quickly, apart from the A48 as suggested that was much less busy although the time of day I hit it wasn't ideal. Thanks for the tip, it was worth it and I then decided to extend the trip for an extra day by staying in Spa.
