I've not long come back from an epic Assetto Corsa inspired roadtrip, 3524 miles in two weeks across europe
Started in Belguim
mission control
Popped across to here
Stayed at the Dorint hotel on the start finish straight with this as my view from my balcony
visited a few of these across Germany
Drove down to Baden-Baden and then did the "route 500"
Went to the theatre
Not many Hondas about in Germany, parked up at some resteraunt in Wankheim I found this
Then I had a major oil leak!!!
not to worry, just a 5l oil container that was leaking in the boot
took an hour or so to sort
Got a bit hot on some days
Then through Austria and into Italy, drove round Lake Garda, Lake Idro and stayed up in Lake Ledro (gorgeous place) and did a bit of the Trento Bondone hill climb
Bondone
end of the road
Lake Ledro (had a nice swim in there)
on the road to lake Ledro
really got into the Italian style of driving that day
View from my room at Lake Ledro
Lake Garda
Then down to Imola where I stayed at a hotel between the Riviazza
visited the Ayrton Senna memorial
Then drove to Mugello on the back roads from Imola, beautiful scenery and awesome roads
popped down to here
Visited Rome
Lake Bracciano
before starting to make my way towards home but stopped along the way here
and here
drove around what I could of the F1 track, making sure to roll over any kerbs I could lol, did the tunnel a couple of times, super/hyper cars everywhere there and so many people would turn round on the sound of me burbling down the road expecting to see some swish car only to see me in a shitty old civic
visited Nice, didn't think it particularly nice
the way out of Nice
Did the "Route du Napoleon", stunning scenery and great roads
Then on some random backroad on the way to les deux alpes came across a uk EP3!
old road to les deux alpes
and I couldn't leave the Alpes without doing a bit of downhill moutain biking

I had an idea of where I wanted to visit or drive then just fired up google earth and planned a rough route that would only see me driving for 5 hours max per day, checked on booking.com that there were cheap hotels in each of my overnight stay areas (but didn't book), then would either book the place the night before or on the day of arrival - that way I could change my plans if I wanted to
