I confirm my participation in this drive I will stay at the Hotel Intercontinental in Davos Saturday night. This will remind me of last year when I drove from that hotel to Stelvio Pass what looks like the same route we will be taking on Sunday. However, I drove back up the Stelvio Pass to go home, so this new extra route via Italy (a little home coming for my Ferrari ) will be a change! I wonder if there will be plenty of people at Stelvio Pass... I'm quite sure it'll be crowded around 11-12am.

If the weather turns out to be rainy on sunday but sunny on saturday the 6th, we will anticipate the trip to saturday, same timing and same meeting points. And weather forecasts are excellent http://www.meteosvizzera.admin.ch/home.html?tab=overview&date=20160807
The Intercontinental is a great hotel. You will enjoy it, but stay away from the buffet dinner. Me and the wife will be staying at Hotel Bernina in Samedan on Saturday. Hotel looks cool and I got a deal including dinner and breakfast, so we will be well fed Really looking forward to this drive.
Yeah, I stayed there once last year when I drove down and back up Stelvio Pass. It's a nice comfy hotel, I had a balcony large enough to host a party for 50 But we will arrive quite late (probably 9pm) meaning it's straight to bed. But I did choose the breakfast option for my daily dose of energy. Gonna be a great drive, first time I'll be bringing my 360 to its home country (I've already done it with my previous Mercedes and Audi, i.e. driving them to their respective home cities in Germany), plus I'm looking forward to the great roads and scenery once again.
Any other driver wants to join our trip to Stelvio pass on sunday, august the 7th?

I would love to join as well and to add a little bit to the diversity of the Ferrari starting field but unfortunately won't be able to do so this weekend. Enjoy in good health, looking forward to see the pictures! Martin
I have one and will take it with me (together with the photo camera). Hope I dont forget it See you soon Markus BTW: I will take my black 575M. The 512 TR does not want to run and feels like only having 50 BHP or so
yes, looking forward to it... already preparing my Scud...UE Boom boxes for the music, trip planned on my Tom Tom...
My f-car doesn't have those ---- guess I'll have to settle for music produced by the 12 up front 😊
Hey, its a 1992. Thats a modern car. Well, the A/C is not working properly and the engine (electronics, yes there is electronics!) had the same problem 3 years ago... I thought I take the slower 512 TR so that you guys with the Scuds have a chance to follow But now with the 575M See you soon!!! Markus
I hope someone knows where the lovely speed cameras are located --- until now I've only learned via Swiss A post....half the reason I don't bother driving my F12
Good, because i am at a loss as to how to mount it on the inside of the windscreen.....or outside on roof...???? See you tomorrow morning in Samedan!
I believe radar detectors and applications that let you know where they're located, are illegal in Switzerland... I'm going to try and respect the speed limitations F12KID: FYI, there's one tricky speed camera located a few hundred meters from the Intercontinental. It's easy to miss when approaching the hotel, so take it easy once we arrive in Davos (assuming that's the hotel you'll be staying in as well) so that you don't get caught (I think that stretch of road is limited to 50 or 60 but it could pass for a 80 with ease).
