Hi Chaps, 

 

I'm thinking about planning a Euro Hoon next year - A week / 10 days approx, later in the summer. 

 

Does anyone have any suggested routes / destinations they've done themselves in their VX's?

 

I did do a Northern Europe trip a few years ago through France / Germany / Holland stopping at Reims, the Ring etc. 

 

Hoping to do more southern France / Northern Italy and find some good driving roads.

Suggestions welcome. 

 

Cheers!

give yourself more time , hotels are a lot cheaper in Italy , likewise stay just over the border France/Italy before going to Switzerland

 

french motorways expensive , german autobahn , free and fast

 

austria lovely , same for dolomites

 

livigno, tax haven , cheapest petrol in europe , also Luxembourg good to fillup

 

if you are going near the lakes , I can definately recommend this place near lake garda "Villa Fenaroli Palace 4-star hotel Rezzato", very cheap and fantastic for weekdays

Slovenia is also awesome, as I found out a couple of months ago.

Ideal, thanks for the info! 

 

Has there ever been a EuroHoon as such? Similar to a HighlandHoon?

There’s been 2 or 3 in the mid 2000’s arranged by European Speedster groups that .org were invited on.

One through Luxembourg which ended with a trip to the Ring
One In the south of France with a base of Cavalaire-sur-Mer, where one of the drives took in the Monte Carlo Rally route
Plus a couple of French meets arranged with the French/Swiss Speedster club.

If you search for “Gran Turismo Riviera” or “GTR Riviera Tour” the threads still come up

There is an Italian group that meet on a fairly regular basis, see facebook

 

I go down to a Lotus / Speedster / 220 meet in Austria most years, its limited to 45 cars (over 80 apply!), split into groups of 8 for driving.

 

Everything is arranged for the 3 days, hotel base,  tolls , meals etc. Date has already been made for next year.

 

Registration required, and by invite only, have made many friends over the years, cars from all over Europe and this year one from USA and Greece!

The Alps are great but the Black Forest is even better IMHO.

Did one a few years back via Grenoble, Monaco, Genoa, Milan, Bormio and Freiburg.

Took in a bunch of passes, the lakes etc.

2011 group of us did the run down to Monaco F1 , plus there were a few ring trips

 

A lot of us also do the French Frolic with Lotus on Track in August
