I downloaded a video of a Lotus "climbing" the road looks fantastic imagine with a ferrari
I believe in F355 Challenge for the PS2, there is an unlockable video of a 355 B traversing that road.Testarossa BR said:I downloaded a video of a Lotus "climbing" the road looks fantastic imagine with a ferrari

ha:the ten best drives in the world.....well at leats one would have to come from the world of OZ and not the european hillside.
so i suggest the road that i personally like the best which i have not been down to often...
and that is the Great Ocean Road.
its a long stretch of highway which stretches its way alkong the twisty coastline of victoria...its not so much the road which is the drivers challenge but more the drivers pleasure...
it has plenty of great places to stop where you can walk out to the edge of the massive cliff faces which drop of the coastline. this area is the home of the Famous Twelve Apostles. and therefore is a great tourist spot.
further down the road there is one point where the road feels like you are driving on a floating road...you look out the window and can see the ocean a fair way under you...
its the scenery and the pleasure of the drive which i believe would make this road a contender of the top 10...

I have heard many times that the Snake Pass going from Glossop towards Sheffield via the A57 is one of the greatest drives in the UK. I'd also say Lombard street, but it could scratch up your wheels a little bit
Here are some great ideas.. I can attest to the greatness of California's Highway1, Washington's roads around Mount Rainier, Colorado's US 550, and Montana's US 212. These are all fantastic roads that are exhilarating to drive.

I've driven down the Great Ocean Road up to the 12 Apostles but not in a Ferrari though. In a rented Mitsubishi saloon. Yes it would be a nice drive in a Ferrari, especially the road through the forest reserve. However Australia is not the place to break the speed limit because the cops will be on your back before you can reach home. A firend of mine tried to run from the cops when driving his 360 in the Perth outback and the Police hunted him down in a helicopter when they failed to chase him in their cars. The helicopter landed on the road and the officers had their rifles drawn, waiting for him.
For me the great Ferrari drives would be the route that has the most tunnels. The aural ectacy is what seperates the Ferrari from other sports cars. As for the Stelvio Pass, do it only in the late model Ferraris. Because the 80s and early 90s models can be scary when driven at speeds down the mountain, unless it's like a Sunday drive. First of all the brakes in the older models are not adequate. They fade very fast. Secondly the roadholding are not on par with the mid-90s models onwards. Istead of enjoying the drive you'd be sweating cold sweats.
Sorry for my frank views.

for me the best road to drive a Ferrari is Spa-Francorchamps or Laguna Seca
