In a Dunlop-sponsored video, Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe takes to one of the U.K.'s oldest and, seemingly, dangerous roads — the Hardknott Pass. And while the clip oozes a bit too much commercial love for Dunlop, I do have to say it does posit a great question:
What is a PURE driving experience?
Though I'll leave it to you to ultimately define that, I'll throw up a suggestion.
For me, driving is like therapy. I need it to wind me down after a brutal week of work. That said, a pure driving experience is having a ton of fun without any of the niceties of most modern rides. No A/C, no fancy gadgetry. Just you and the road.
If YOU could pick a CAR and ROAD, which and where would it be for YOUR PURE driving experience?
We've teamed up with Dunlop Tyres to deliver eight Pure Driving Experiences. In the first instalment, Steve Sutcliffe takes to the Hardknott Pass in the Lake District in a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series.
Stay tuned over the coming months for the world's greatest cars on some of the world's greatest roads.
