- We drove many special roads during the 2700 miles of this tour but this video features the best 4 roads I have EVER driven, perhaps some of the greatest driving roads in the world. Drive these roads before you die ! The Collada de Toses, Col de Turini, Col de Valberg and the incredible Red Rock Rock ! I am now in a position to give you my thoughts on my new Porsche 718 Boxster GTS after the ultimate road test.
If you are interested in driving such incredible roads then get in touch with Alan and Sharon from GT Tours. Incredible organisation and planning and Alan is a master at calling the road which let's you enjoy the drive to the max !

Really fabulous roads,especially the last one.Well driven again and looks like a great bunch you were with.Excellent vids,thank you for taking us along.
The best bit about a tour is the people you meet 👍
Painting memories in your head for years to come…do all the drives you can Peter..the costs are far greater if you don’t do them…..and one day you wake up and find you can’t because of dozens of reasons and those hurt…they really, really hurt. I have been lucky and travelled many, many mountain passes and some in the days of loose surface which adds even more fun..or terror…but there are more to do…and time is short when you get older. I’m glad you enjoyed it but now, do it again but with Tracey beside you and make those roads even more special. Stay young Peter…50 is not old…74 is much, much worse! 🫣🫣😬😀😀😀😀😀Now…time to get my SL sorted out for a trip like that..if only my far better half could get in it more easily…age is hard work sometimes! 😎
I would like to take my R129 SL320
Currently being recommissioned
I’m 65
@@Yorkshiremadmick Michael…make sure to do it when the car is ready. We managed a trip through France, Germany, Belgium, Holland and Poland just before the pandemic arrived to wreck everything. We had many places on a list to revisit but bought a house for restoration instead…that is finished so now..back to those roads! Remember…tomorrow is too late…you never wake up younger! My SL is an R231 and one of the best cars I have ever owned…no Nissan Micra’s in Nursing Home beige here thank you! 😀😀😀😀😎😎😎
@@HQBProductions
Had the SL for 12 years (straight 6) apparently more reliable than the v6 according to my man.
My other, daily is a Lexus CT200h having sold the LR Defender 110 ex military
Thank you so very much, Pete, for taking us along on your wonderful journey / adventure! Seeing parts of the world which I hope to visit someday was bloody fantastic. It's so obvious there are no regrets with your GTS purchase - very happy for you. Brilliant video mate. Cheers from the hot Arizona desert!
Cheers Wayne. My only regret is not buying one years ago 😂
Incredible roads, scenery and tunnels 😍👌. It’s certainly on my bucket list! Thank you for sharing Peter 👍
My pleasure 👍
Morning Sir. Stunning, like ya said, being able to use the whole road makes a huge difference. Love it
Great video. Thank you! I very much appreciate your hard work (fun?) filming and editing your incredible videos.👍🏻
It’s my job. I’m just chuffed people like watching them 😂
Looks amazing mate!
Epic road Pete !!! Awesome vid and definitely a bucket list road 👍🏻🍻🇨🇦!!
Quite incredible & a massive thank you for sharing so much of the trip. The roads are stunning although I was terrified watching you drive the Red Rock road so I wouldn’t be much good actually on there 😂. Well done Penny P ! Was also lovely to see you and your brother enjoying this together !
A tricky edit but pleased with the result 👍
Cracking selection of roads one for your bucket lists everyone , great coverage Peter , great stuff 👍
Cheers 👍
Fantastic Pete, what great roads. Having a car in front telling you what's coming simply opens the roads up for you. Great.
It sure does. You still have to take care but it makes the drive 👌
I have to say this is one of the best films and your best editing yet, keep up the great work!!
Thanks Garry 👍
GT Tourz Part 1 was good, but this is on another level, just brilliant editing. Thanks so much Pete for allowing us all to come along this journey with you. The red rock road is a once in a lifetime drive! 🙌👍
Thanks Gary. We were so lucky with traffic and that the Beetle let us through 😂
My God!!!!!!!! Just upped this journey on my list to number one...thank you so much!!Amazing
Go for it 👍
There are many epic roads around there. I have been based there, on and off, for many years. Driven all three plus many many more. They are all epic and you don’t need to be in cars like you lot are driving. I have driven them in a range of cars from hire cars (we all know how quick they can be!) to my 1.2L Fiesta and my 850cc twin cylinder Panda 4x4. Excellent filming and editing to show them off so well. Thank you.
Exactly. It’s the road that fun. Any car will do 👍
Superb Peter. I am man enough to admit I got emotional watching not only the entire road trip but particularly, the Red Rock Road drive. Your facial expressions spoke a thousand words. On my list. Ps, Your Boxster performed brilliantly. 👌🎯
I got emotional editing it. Lady P was just incredible 👌
Lovely to see you and your big brother having fun and making memories. Good times. Mumma Petrol Ped is smiling from above I'm sure.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That red rock road blew me away, found myself shouting “oh wow” at exactly the same time you did!👍😎🇦🇺🇬🇧
LOL 😂
Some truly epic roads there Pete. Love the tunnel runs on the ‘Red Rock Road’.
Quite tight but such fun 👍
Those roads look epic!! Great videos Pete, I’ve just suggested to the wife that we cancel our summer holiday and do a driving tour instead. She gave me one of those looks and I’m in the doghouse now!!! What a way to spend a few days. 👍👍💙🚙
Keep at it. Pester power works eventually 😜😂
Being from Portugal those kinds of roads are not new for me but no matter how many times you drive on them is always a special moment, like the first time every time, makes you smile. Amazing series you did here, the last bit of driving was just out of this world. The only small very small detail is that the GTS is a bit too silent, he needs an exhaust :), apart from that for sure one of your best videos ever, and you have a lot of good ones. ;)
Tune in this Friday at 6…it’s getting one 👌👍
Absolutely epic roadtrip Ped... Totally confirms that we never actually 'grow up'! The scenery is just breathtaking and your Bros expression when he got out the 720s said it all 😜 We drove the Col De Torini years ago and can't wait to go back... The red rock road is immense and is definitely on the list. This is what memories are made of... For the love of driving 👌
Oh yes…For the Love of Driving 👊
Excellent video, Mega roads and Lady P did you proud 👍
Even better than part 1. Brilliant Pete - Just brilliant.
Thanks Stuart 👍
Wow what a great road trip well done everyone. Thanks for another great video
Cheers 👍
I have to say I just totally love your videos they are just absolutely brilliant I can sit down with a cup of tea and just absolutely love them thank you so much petrol ped so looking forward to Goodwood I cannot wait to keep up the amazing work regards Tristan
Thanks mate. Hope to catch up with you there 👍
Nice vid Pete,Ala and Sharon great people.
They sure are 🥰
Speechless. That is just amazing and so many memories for you mate
Many many memories made 👌
That was unbelievable you so lucky guys perfect cars perfect weather perfect roads great video I love it love it love it definitely is on my bucket list👍
We are very fortunate that’s for sure 🙏🏻
. From the looks on your faces I think the red rock road is now being added to my bucket list mate.
Fantastic videos. Let’s see more of these
It’s incredible 👌
Fantastic watching such thrilling roads. I could actually feel and remember how my 981 Cayman S felt on similar sections of road and it made me feel fantastic. What a thrill.
The perfect car for the mountains 👌
OMG what roads...scary. Well done Mr P.
That was AWESOME!!!! 😃😃😃😃😃
Dude, what a mindblowing experience. I am petrified of heights, but even I would love to drive those roads! Great vid, thanks for sharing. DD
It sure was 👍
Epic drive!! Thanks for allowing us to be part of it 👍🏼
My pleasure 👍
Alan and Sharon are both lovely people and very good at what they do. I can't think of better people to take you on these amazing roads.
They are ACE 🥰
I’ve made some of those fantastic roads by bike and I loved! I must try them by car!! Fantastic Pete!!!
Great aren’t they 👍
Now that was truly awesome. One day I will do that road in car that compliments it. Cheers Pedro, you are doing fab mate!
You really must 👍
Part 2 was even better mate. Wow, those roads man! Would love to go on one of these tours. One day! Your brother had a ball. Well do e mate for a great vlog.
He sure did 👍
Great video as usual. Incidentally spotted you in Storrington high street today, I was in the GT4!
No way…I saw you 👍
Lovely spec by the way 👌
Fantastic video again. Really enjoyed that. I go to the South of France every year, but I have only driven once in Eze in an Aston Martin Vanquish
That sounds pretty awesome 👏
WoW WoW 🤩 that was some roads nice one pp👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
👍
That was just incredible .. epic roads 😍😍
Thanks 👍
I really enjoyed that..Bostin vid..Nice collection of motor's..Every body Happy..
Some mega cars on tour 👍
Excellent video. Looks a great trip
It sure was 👍
Fabulous virtual ride. Even watching while sitting in front of a monitor makes you smile...but not nearly as much as you were Pete.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Going there next week - can't wait! 👍
Enjoy 👍
Petrol Ped at his best, with his serious face on. Top Quality Stuff🙏🙏
Concentration 😜😂
Wow, Wow and Wow. Bloody amazing drive.
Thanks 👍
What a road its truly fantastic!
Sure is 👍
Another awesome video Peter. Oh my, those roads certainly look amazing but I agree the Red Rock Road looks epic! I’m so glad you finally got to experience them all and that Lady P has been amazing. Well, what next? 😉👌🏻👍🏻
How about driving a NASCAR at Festival of Speed ?!
@@PetrolPed oh, I think that’ll definitely do it 😱☺️👌🏻👍🏻
What a tour. Would love to do that in my modded Octavia RS! One day. A long way from Oz!
Hi, sweet Boxster GTS. This looks like some of Sicily. Roads were crazy.
Thanks 🙏🏻
What a stunning road (Red Rock Road) and I had no idea it was there. Have been holidaying for the last 30 years about 1 hour 50 minutes away. Will be there in a few weeks time and then again for 4 weeks in the summer. How can we ever go to this part of France again and not drive these roads it would be a crime. Thank you for this brilliant two part video and who knows maybe a 60th Birthday present to myself in 4 years time and hopefully with GTTourz.
Go for it 👍
All I can say Sir Pete is as you said: absolutely amazing!!
Cheers Buddy 👍
Well done what a fantastic trip👌
Thanks 👍
My wife and I spent an incredible day in a Boxster S here a few years ago. We were based near Nice and the Monte Carlo Rally had just finished. The weather was cold but bright and sunny. All day long, we had the roads to ourselves and, to give you an idea of how much fun we had, our full tank was empty by the end of the morning! I'd love to do it all again in my GR Yaris Rallye, but it resides with me in Australia...
Oh wow that’s cool. A GR Yaris would be mega 👌
Ped - you told me this was gong to be special when I commented on your first half of this - you weren’t wrong. Very special!
🙏🏻🙏🏻😜
Awesome.
A brilliant video what a road just amazing your definitely a lucky guy to sample that !!
I am indeed 🙏🏻
@@PetrolPed best video of 2022 so far 💪💪💪
Epic! That is all, carry on.
Will do 👍
Red Rock road is an ff'ing amazing piece of road.... I've driven it 6 times (3 times uphill; 3 times down) during several vacations, making my (modified) 1989 Starion 2600 Turbo "dance"; great (underrated) car (still have it) ; great memories!!!
Ooo Starion Turbo…always loved those 👌
Beautiful roads to drive and enjoy the country
Absolutely bloody amazing!!!!!!!
👍
Awesome. Transfixed all the way.
👍
So nice roads, nothing more to say, drive a dream car to a petrol ped dream road 😊❤️👍
Yep 👍
Great video mate 👌
Thanks 👍
Petrol ped has got a Porsche 718 Amazing !!! just , not been watching you tube for a few months so just seen this now...I'm on my 3rd 718 and I was gutted a couple of years ago when you had one and decided against buying...definitely going to drive some of these roads now !! Great video..
Yep. Finally made it 👍
Epic. That Boxster of yours appears to have quite some sting in the tail. Thanks a bunch for sharing.
She’s quick 😜👍
The world needs more roads like this to support all the drivers who are being forced & manipulated by an over bearing society, trying to convince them to forget their passion.
Love the Red Rock Road that’s one for my bucket list
It was awesome 👌
I’m smiling for you! Awesome 😊
Thanks 👌
Your right PP it's a great road from the vid's that I've seen on YT. It's 1 for the bucket list for sure. As a motorcyclist, reminds me of some of the great roads on the NC500, amongst a few of the European Mountain Roads also. Too many too list individually. Good Skills though. 👍
👍
Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍
👍
Epic Roads PP.... Great vid..... :-)))
Thanks 👍
Bucket list!
Tick ✅
Top bloke Jeremy Clarkson, we share the same birh year. Great second part to your touring video Pete.
What a blast 😄
👍
Looks epic
Great video. Last time I went on a road like that I was on a carbon road bike going up the Col de Tourmalet. Epic 😃
Nice. Which side. I’ve done both and prefer the other side to La Mongie 👍
@@PetrolPed I did the West side as part of a stage of the Tour de France a few years ago.
OMG! Ridiculous Red Rock Road!!!!!!!!!!! I may have seen one or two images of it in the past, never knew what it was called though. Amazing! Presumably you had to drive the RRR in the other direction. 😁
Sadly we didn’t have time 😢
@@PetrolPed Facepalm! 🤦♂️ You drove to slow! 🙄😁
Dream driving roads, and what a car to sample them with.
Living life while you still can Ped (as a petrolhead),, awesome.
Wouldn't be anywhere near as exciting in an EV would it ?
You’d struggle to do it to be honest 😬
Whoa why did you guys keep going over the lane line? Even knowing you made it out safe, I winced everytime. Perhaps the lane markers were mere suggestions? Hope you let your brother drive!
The lead car was saying when the roads were clear via walkie talkie.
It was clear and safe to do so. It smooths the line and keeps the car more stable. A technique taught by the Institute of Advanced Motorists and the Police when training pursuit driving 👍
@@PetrolPed If we were out having a drink I fear the teasing might sneak out, but as in a comment it might sound critical (which I am not, it looked like such fun) I will say you were in the pursuit of pleasure! And my quote when I finished The Dragon here in states got lots of laughs: I didn't know you could have that much fun in a seated position! So now have more roads to add to my Bucket List.
@@m1keyw Yes I did hear them and have used them myself driving in groups. You think they drew straws for who had to go first and either stay within the lines or make the drive more thrilling by risking it? Was teasing and hope it didn't come off critical.
LOL 😂
How can you give a video more than a thumbs up? My God those roads take your breath away.
LOL 😂
Proper use of the car on some epic roads.
👍
Absolutely fantastic roads - must have been a fantastic weekend.We have similar good roads here in CH and it is amazing to get over a mountain pass. I like your communication between the cars (Road clear!!) .. full throttle. Is it only real "sports cars" that join the tours or will a family Audi S4 be allowed to join ?
My goodness - you are fast in those narrow tunnels !!! Scary !
👍
Brilliant. Some fantastic roads and great company. What more could you want?
Nothing 😜😂
Thanks for the video another couple of roads to add to my tour. My difference will be coming from Australia 🇦🇺 I will be buying a car and doing it for an entire month..
👍
Another good one Ped BUT........how about a series on the best driving (and scenic) roads in Great Britain for the average Joe in the street that can't afford to hop over to Le Continent? Keep up the good work.
Cat and Fiddle road near Macclesfield
Yeah Rob, done that one MANY times and it is fantastic. Another good one in my arsenal is the A686 from Penrith to Haydon Bridge (in that direction, not quite as good the other way around). Unfortunately Hartside Summit Cafe burnt down a few years ago and that was a great stop on the way. Any more anyone?
imagine driving these roads with the steering wheel on the correct side..😄 No really, wonderful footage. The video did well enough without too much comment. Just enjoyed every bit of it. And in case you wonder. Did gorge du Cians with my '96 mini back then. The Yoko's screemed like hell.
Yeah a left hooker would have been much better when driving on the right 👌
Hi Ped
I think you have got the message across with this one, congratulations.🤗🤗 If any one complains in the future “how crowded these routes were”, then you could be held responsible.😉 Not wishing to knock home territory, you will not find roads to equal your routes anywhere in U.K. even the north coast 500.
Mate it makes the NC500 look very ordinary. NC500 might be stunning to look at but in terms of actually driving it’s nowhere close 😬
@@PetrolPed Great minds think alike.😉
Glad you enjoyed your trip Peter which unfortunately is too expensive for me but I still hope to do one more Petrolhead Tours drive next year if petrol has not reached £4.00 per litre
Petrol price is a bite cheaper in Euro. Because of the currency rate difference.
€2 - 2.25 😳
Hi Pete. Great video and love your new car. You'll be ditching them p zero's though 🤔. I am on my s3. They are so hard and uncomfortable and scary when cold 😭
Yep. That’s the plan 👍
Awesome roads
#ohmydays
😂
Not seen that red rock road ( try saying that fast) before. Its almost as if the builders were thinking about people driving sports cars! Quite often , small tunnels require a give way system, or slowing right down. The diversions are brilliant. Lots of explosives used there, I would think. Wonder when it was built? Great vid.
Thanks 👍
So after driving the red rock road a couple of weeks ago, I must admit, while it was good I wouldn't say it was up there as one of the best roads I've driven. Admittedly it was raining and we got stuck behind a bit of traffic, but IMO some of the Swiss alpine passes are definitely better. It's still a great road though with some cool tunnels 👍
So, you're driving behind a 720S and a F12 on some of the best driving roads in the world, and you're keeping up no problem at all, in a car with half the horsepower. This proves that 350-400hp is more than enough for the road. I'm sure the turbo helps going up hill, but at no time did you look as if you were struglling to keep up. I also think for the average driver in a convoy like that, PDK/DCT reveals its strengths. That Red Rock Road looks very challenging at pace. I don't think I'd like to drive it in a manual at pace in a convoy. Well done!
Thanks Nigel. Very good summary. I could really push the car and actually had to hold back quite a bit of the time. I was getting in the power very early and could really trust the car not to do something silly 👍
As the late Robin Williams used to say in Dead Poets Society, "seize the day".
Indeed 👍
Epic stuff. How to do the Col de Turini is in a MINI through. 😂 Think it was the most focussed driving I've ever done, even more than being on track. Would love to do an organised trip, but it's very satisfying when you've planned it all yourself.
Oh mate you are king of the self planned drive trip 👌
Pity the Sun wasn’t out as the colours as most will know is stunning in the right light. But great clip.
