Our road trip to the Adriatic sea in May was a blast. Some 30 super cars screaming on the fantastic coastal roads of Croatia was just a mental experience. Pushing the car as much as you dare on serpentine roads, with a stunning view of the Adriatic sea. Pure, addictive, fun.
So was our visit to Sarajevo. It was something out of the ordinary to pass the border to Bosnia and Hercegovina with a trail of Ferraris and Lamborghinis behind. A surreal experience both for the driver and all the spectators along the road.
We immediately knew it. We had to come back here again. The roads, the food and the people. All top notch. This has to be the worlds most underrated destination with your super car.
Welcome to Prague and the Grand Mark hotel. A five-star hotel right in the middle of the city. Here we check-in to the event and get our welcome packs with badges, the road book with maps and lots of other useful things for your trip with us. Later the same day, at 20.00, we have dinner in the hotel restaurant.
Here you will also meet the other drivers, coming from Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Germany and other European countries. All in all, about 60 new and old friends that you will share all the fun with the coming week on the road.

This first day we don't start driving until 14:00. Before, we have brunch in the hotel and prepare our cars. Our first goal - Salzburg - is about four hours driving away. We will be driving south through the Czech Republic and then in to Austria before we reach Salzburg.

Forget everything you think you know about Bosnia. This place is amazing. The drive to Mostar is amazing, too. So is the city and the famous bridge. Very few places in Europe have the same rich history as Mostar. The Bosnian food is great, too.
