The A13 / A22 between Innsbruck and Merano for the curves tunnels and views, the A9 South of Leipzig when the speed is unrestricted and the trucks get out of the way! Maxed out my C Class rental car on that road!

Cris, I did the Transfăgărășan last year as part of a 6000+ km tour. Other memorable moments from that trip include the little roads through vineyards north of lake Balaton in Hungary, the Grossglockner High Alpine Road in Austria (not too far from Gmünd, birthplace of the Type 1), Silvretta High Alpine Road also in Austria, and a drive through Black Forrest in Germany.

Just this weekend, I was on some other beautiful roads in Norway - see a separate post coming up in a few minutes.

Damn that sounds so good!! :D
Jealous like crazy here! I promised myself first trip I take back to Europe I'm doing a proper drive through the mountains! Have some newly acquired relatives in Austria so definitely going there.

Glad you enjoyed Transfăgărășan.. sorry about the poor quality of the rest of the roads in Romania :)

You haven't driven great roads till you have competed in Targa Tasmania ( Australia.)
Five days of closed roads along with great camaraderie . Many international competitors.

+1 for the Nurburgring, +1 for the Hwy 1 through the Big Sur from Santa Cruz, Pamplona to Olot N-240/N-260 and the infamous N-260a between Ripoll and Olot south of the Pyrenees in Spain - 550km of your own private two lane blacktop racetrack and riding up and over Mount Glorious near Brisbane in Queensland, Australia

Pretty much all of Vancouver island, cascade loop is amazing too

Probably the Old Military Road in Scotland. Sadly I was driving a rental diesel Audi A3, but I did get all four wheels off the ground.

In terms of tracks, the Nurburgring which I drove in a Renaultsport R26.R Megane. Amazing car.

French Alps roads normally over crowded. For clearer well sighted and challenging roads head to Spain and some of the Pyrenees. Staying closer to home the mountains and valleys roads in Wales are also excellent.

Creston BC Canada to the Belfor Fairy

Beautiful

A bit off the original request but on topic for the question of great roads to drive: I have never found a Porsche (or any other automobile) website devoted to great drives. The two best I have found are for motorcycles, but I find they are great for Boxsters, too.

MotorcycleRoads.US - Great Motorcycle Roads in the US

2413 Motorcycling Roads United States

Anybody know of similar sites established for Boxsters, Porsches or autos in general?

I found this website (there is also an Android app) and have been using it to find area rides - this is the Porsche GTS website. Anyone else used this before?
