The great thing about their event concept is that in just two days you experiance 5-6 different models of supersport cars, you can compare their character and at the end find your favorite. Moreover, you drive these cars on perfect county roads or mountain passes, visit charming destinations, taste local cuisine, and have fun with people who enjoy the same thing. I warmly recommend.“
