I've never seen a vid of Stelvio before ... is it just me or did it not look THAT much fun to drive? Far too many harsh tight hairpins for my likings, cant carry any speed around them at all. The straighter bits were good and of course the scenery is unbelievable but still ...

[Duv]

think its more just the challenge of acceleration and braking, and making sure you dont drop off the edge for a good few miles

[Mr Hans]

To be honest it does look silly what people do, you saw the cyclists he was going past? I mean for example, its an Alfa; so the wheel might fall off and he'd crash and burn. Plus alfa's dont really handle either. Lots of roll and uneven weight transfer, fwd etc
