Find Out More About The Windy 500

European Travel For The Unhinged!
There are currently a few spaces available on The Windy 500 but they are filling fast. 23 countries. 23 nights. 5500 miles of open road. Some of the most spectacular driving that Europe has to offer. Mountains, lakes, gorges, beaches, fascinating towns and cities, castles and ruins, but most of all, the chance to drive along some of the best (and possibly worst) roads on the continent. All in a car worth under £500. June 2013 will see 50 teams set off from Weymouth and cross the channel. Over the next 22 days they will pass through 22 other countries within Europe, stopping in a different country every night. It is not a race. There will be a rendezvous point set each day to be reached the following day. Hence, a chance to take in the scenery or visit the amazing sights we shall be passing on the way. The route is still currently under wraps but we shall be doing our very best to take in two sections of road described on Top Gear as some of the very best driving in Europe. The Transfagarasan Highway in Romania, which winds for 90 km through the Transylvanian Alps, crossing viaducts and bridges and includes the highest tunnel in Romania. Secondly, The Stelvio Pass in Northern Italy. 48 hairpins take the road up to become the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps. As for the rest of the route….you’ll just have to wait and see.
