    Great Film. Shows all the good and bad things of the Stelvio. (Very fast BMW 8 series btw). And a few BMW test cars at the end.

    The two fastest men in the pass... apart from those two Giro d'Italia contenders, obviously.

    Damn, that 850 is fast!
    Nice driving mate, no matter what they say. The 1st attempt on the Astra needed approvement though.
    Ah, and your radio guy would be in the white Beemer @ 47:10, for you can virtually see all 999 Stelvio turns from this point.

    Yeah, it's me, and fun was had for sure :)
    Not all strange noises are from carbs, there was also a loose joint between exhaust primaries and the 4->1 piece, I fixed it now. I don't know about the gearbox, I was never able to shift quickly and smoothly with it. Maybe I should think about different oil... And it was also impossible to give throttle on downshifts due to position of pedals (I improved the position now).

    Caterham and BMW, my absolute favorites :) Very nice location and driving, but the gearbox sounds horrible o.O

    Great road trip! What is the best month to go to the Stelvio in 7?

    I'm the one driving. I agree, the Astra was an embarrassing attempt :P
    In my defence, there was a person higher up the road telling me if the road ahead is clear over the radio. So, while my driving is not very smooth, the overtakes were not actually as reckless as it may appear on the video.

      Straight cut gears - stronger and better power transmission. Used on most rally cars!

      Keep in mind we have radio contact with cars in front/behind, as well as a spotter who calls out traffic.
