Me and some of my mates decided at the start of the year we wanted to go and a driving holiday to Europe. We decided that since top gear had said the best driving road in Europe was the Stelvio Pass in northen Italy then we had to go and see it. When we arrived the road was still closed due to snow but the next day it opened and we got to drive up the pass, we did encounter a small avalanche that we cleared to allow us to pass but as i passed and got out the car another small avalanche happened again, luckily was very small so we cleared it and continued on our way. We also decided a trip to the ring was a must as it was on the way back.

We also managed to go to the Porche Museum in Germany which was very cool to see the very first porches to the le mans cars. Also managed to go to Hockenheim and we were lucky to see some porche gt3 races.

The Nurburgring was defiantly an experience to drive on but was very fun. Only done 4 laps and took it easy on them but still managed a 9.20 minute lap was is slow but was very very busy so was hard trying to set a good lap without having to get out the way from others.

Iv got loads and loads of pictures but here is a few of our trip and for some reason they are not in order but u guys get the idea lol
