Stunning imagery as the evo team explore Europe’s greatest driving roads

We show you how to do just that. John Barker sets the ball rolling, taking the last ever Zonda F Roadster to Tuscany – the location of his all-time perfect drive. Then David Vivian heads off to Spain with the new Porsche Cayman. Next Ollie Marriage heads for the Scottish Highlands with the mighty McMerc SLR Roadster while Henry Catchpole’s careering round Corsica with the awesome Renaultsport Mégane R26.R. Finally, John Simister saddles up for the wilds of England’s north-east in a Lotus Europa.
