Event Description

The three highest paved passes in the Alps (including Stelvio), the Black Forest, BBC Top Gear’s favourite road (Flüela pass) and the Route Napoléon. A trip everyone with petrol in their veins should take at least once in their lifetime.

We use the Black Forest as a warm up and Stelvio as a stop off point before taking you on the most amazing few days of your driving life. We’ve selected an amazing mix of passes and drivers’ roads which battle with the scenery for the right to take your breath away. Best of all this trip is open to anyone with the right attitude (no egos allowed) and a car that is fun to drive. So whether it’s an MX5, an MP4-12C or some other acronym we’ve not heard of yet you will be welcome.

For 2013 we have retained many of the old favourites from previous years and made a few changes to make the tour even better. As well as the Black Forest and Stelvio, we’ll take in the Grimsel, Susten and Furka passes, visit St Moritz and Val D’Isere, and drive the three highest paved passes in the Alps. On the way home the Route Napoleon will take us to Annecy and we’ll round off with a trip to the Old Grand Prix Circuit at Reims,

New for 2013 – we’re including evening meals too!

Eight days of pure driving pleasure on roads that all petrolheads dream of driving on. Doing so alongside other petrolheads whilst being looked after by tour managers who know their way around some of the best roads on the planet enhances the experience even further.

“The Voice” & His Vehicles

Frank Sinatra was called “The Voice” from early in his career.   He was heard on his first recording with the Harry James Band singing “All Or Nothing At All” which sold about 8,000 copies that year, later to sell millions as he became better known. As he became famous with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, we have few hints on his growing interest in classy cars. He and his wife Nancy…
