Have been dreaming since I was a little boy watching Top Gear and their road trips across Europe to do one of my own. Recently (March) purchased my first performance car and after a few blasts to Goodwood and Silverstone, the promise I made myself to just set off towards the horizon has been blocked by reality of having a high-pressured job and inconsiderate friends getting married.

So after a bit of wrangling managed to procure a week off of work and am pointing the car south for my first road trip in my first performance car.

The route, while flexible has some direction:

  • Calais to Circuit du Reims.
  • Reims to Baden-Baden
  • Baden-Baden to Lake Lucerne
  • Lucerne to Como.
  • Como to Strasboug.
  • Strasbourg to Calais

Hoping to tick off the B500, St Gottard Pass, Furka Pass, Sustenpass and perhaps more! Any advice for where to head, where to avoid, sites to see or areas to head for would be greatly appreciated. Will be staying for two nights in Lucerne and three nights in Como.

oh and get a French Toll Road Tag - just so much easier to drive through the tolls then stop and mess about
Great idea, thanks!
