We were excited to be heading back across Europe, this time to one of the most glamorous European destinations in the world: Monaco.
As always, the tour was completely bespoke and created from scratch by our sister company Four Marks Tours. Carefully considered driving roads & some of the finest hotels in the world. Each hotel was carefully hand picked for having suitable and safe parking for 20 supercars!
The tour team of Greg, Stuart, Hans, Julia & Colin were joined this year by club photographer Mark Houldridge who was on hand to capture the fun in beautiful HD photos!
In part one we explore days 1-3 of the 10 day tour (1 day to represent each year since the club’s beginning) where we kick off at Brands Hatch for an exciting start-line start to the tour! So cool to hold the first drivers briefing at this historic location!

Day 1 – Brands Hatch, UK to the Champagne Region of France
After the drivers briefing, we headed off for a few laps of this legendary circuit before setting off the for the LeShuttle across to France.
We were joined on track by Stratstone Ferrari who brought along their incredible Purosangue V12 to hoon around the track with us
Our first stop of the day was the classic Reimes circuit before stopping for lunch.
After lunch we set off for our first luxury 5 star hotel for the night, right in the heart of the Champagne region of France.
Tonight we all dined together in the restaurant which gave us all the perfect opportunity to mix and get to know new members.
Day 2 – Champagne, France to Lake Geneva, Switzerland
After a delicious breakfast it was time to set off and travel south into Switzerland. Today we would be staying on Lake Geneva.
There would be some stunning scenery on route as we passed through the mountains and on down to the lake.
Our home for the night was the stunning Fairmont, overlooking the lake. What a view to wake up to!
Day 3 – Lake Geneva, Switzerland to Turin, Italy
Day 3 and we set off from the lake, down through the Swiss Alps and into Italy for tonight’s stay at the iconic former Fiat Factory!
This is the factory with the test track on the roof. This test track was immortalised in the original Italian Job movie starring Michael Caine.
First though, we grabbed a couple of team photos with the lake/mountains as our backdrop and then the hotel.
After some fabulous driving, we arrive in the city of Turin for our overnight stay at this iconic hotel. Right in the heart of the city, tonight would be an opportunity for participants to explore the city, taste the local Italian cuisine, visit the museums and the roof top gardens of the hotel. Plenty of history to explore and enjoy.
You can still take a stroll around the rooftop former test track, but these days its an eco landmark and no cars allowed. Lots of little reminders though of how it used to be with its banked circuit track.
This completes day 3 and part 1 of our 3 part story covering our 10th Anniversary Mega Tour. Watch out for part 2 coming soon….
