Stelvio is definately a trip of a lifetime - me and Stuart (Miniman on here) saved for 3 years so that we could do it for our 40th birthdays. I would like to say we plannd it for 3 years but all we agreed was a European road trip that was going to take in the Ring, Stelvio and a Grand Prix, however we could only set the route once the F1 2012 calender was announced.
This is what we did:
Thursday - off to Le Mans 24hour race
Friday - Sunday camping at Le Mans
Monday - drive to the Swiss side of Stelvio
Tuesday - Stelvio (up and down twice) then onto Maranello for the Ferrari museum tour
Wednesday - Lamborghini museum tour, then onto Monaco, drive the street circuit, eat at Rascasse, then onto a cheap F1 motel outside Nice
Thursday - long drive to Valencia to watch the GP
Friday - Sunday camping at Valencia
Monday - long drive half way up France via the Milau bridge to a F1 motel
Tuesday - Ferry back home
