I've not long come back from an epic Assetto Corsa inspired roadtrip, 3524 miles in two weeks across europe

Started in Belguim
Image
Image
Image
mission control
Image
Image
Image

Popped across to here
Image

Stayed at the Dorint hotel on the start finish straight with this as my view from my balcony
Image

Image

Image

visited a few of these across Germany ;)
Image

Drove down to Baden-Baden and then did the "route 500"
Image
Image

Went to the theatre
Image

Not many Hondas about in Germany, parked up at some resteraunt in Wankheim I found this
Image

Then I had a major oil leak!!! :-(
Image

not to worry, just a 5l oil container that was leaking in the boot
Image

took an hour or so to sort
Image

Got a bit hot on some days
Image

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
Image

end of the road
Image

Lake Ledro (had a nice swim in there)
Image

Image

Image

on the road to lake Ledro
Image

really got into the Italian style of driving that day



View from my room at Lake Ledro
Image

Lake Garda
Image
Image
Image

Then down to Imola where I stayed at a hotel between the Riviazza
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

visited the Ayrton Senna memorial
Image
Image

Then drove to Mugello on the back roads from Imola, beautiful scenery and awesome roads
Image
Image

popped down to here
Image

Visited Rome
Image

Lake Bracciano
Image

before starting to make my way towards home but stopped along the way here
Image

and here
Image
Image
Image
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 :-D

visited Nice, didn't think it particularly nice
Image
Image
the way out of Nice
Image

Did the "Route du Napoleon", stunning scenery and great roads
Image

Image

Then on some random backroad on the way to les deux alpes came across a uk EP3! :-D
Image
Image
Image
Image

old road to les deux alpes
Image

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
