    Hello,

    Spent few days on a road trip in Austria, and Italy driving through the Stelvio Pass up to Maranello and Modena. This was an amazing experience with my 458 Speciale and friends from the Ferrari Owners Club in Czech Republic. If interested here is a movie made with my onboard GoPro camera, i hope you will enjoy as much as I did 😉.

    Great, thank you for sharing! When exactly did you drive through the Stelvio pass? It is amazing to see no other traffic on this route (last time I drove the Stelvio, it was a traffic-chocked street).

    It was end of September, a Thursday morning at 7.00 reason there is no traffic.

    I guess ME308 is right, avoid weekend and holidays.

    Seems to me you would have had a better time if you simply stopped for 15 minutes, let the slower leaders get way out in front, and then actually use the cars you had on hand.
