When the quality of the production itself is so high, the quality of the video resolution doesn't matter that much. I will always prefer to watch these old films that were shot on lower quality cameras (by today's standards), but the production itself was brilliant (and small details are taken care of), rather than all the new 4k ultra HD but unimaginative, boring as hell crap that most, if not everyone, seems to be making nowadays. The music selection also plays a big part in this.

The catch though: Davos to Stelvio doesn't go over the pass, if you were actually driving for purpose. You would stay on the 28 till Italy, and not go over the Umbrailpass for no reason.. :) You would have to specifically choose to go the long way around over the Stelvio pass, if that's what you wanted.

Top Gear UK is such a great show! I was never interested in cars at all, I started watching TopGear channel videos, then decided to watch the seasons and found it very interesting and entertaining, Now I see that I actually learned so much about cars! :) this is a great mix of fun and education for me. I wish everything could be learned like this! I want to Thank Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May, The Stig and all the Top Gear crew who makes this show so interesting and entertaining!

This is a HUGE country I drive my Miata 2.5 hours one-way to get to my favorite driving roads. Our good roads (at least up here in OR/WA) also tend to be quite low traffic, but for the simple reason that the bears and Bigfoot outnumber the people. Very few people have business going from Carson to Randle, which is why there's only one gas station in 70 miles. But it's a spectacular run all to yourself with the Mt St Helens volcano in the middle.

This episode is one of the greatest ... I would love to do this road in my SVT focus (ST170 EuroVersion).

Switzerland just is a pretty country. Especially for driving.

This is by far my most favourite episode of TopGear.

I live on Lake Maggiore, and the road they went on hasn't changed a bit!

Col De Turini, such a unknown place for motorsports. :D

"The hills are alive to the sound of horse power as Clarkson, Hammond and May pack their suitcases in their Lamborghini, Aston Martin and Vanquish" nice

Holy crap. I've been in Switzerland these past 3 months, with a completely free SLK AMG at my disposal and missed this. I'm on my last week now and this road is most definitely booked for next Friday!

0:17 “ now obviously you can’t go looking for the best driving road in the world in a Japanese hatchback…” Takumi: “hold my tofu...”

there is nothing better then this show and the three together

I did THAT road two days ago with my triumph bike. Two days before I was on the col de turini. Across the Alps over the BEST roads in the world. Cheers.

4:04 Haha, they prolly didn’t plan on a long-legged, 6’5” guy trying to climb over the wall and fence to get inside the carpark!

Yep... 101 is amazing. The Oregon section alone is some of the most beautiful coast line in the word.

I watched every single old episode during lockdown it got me though it the 3 men are amazing and entertaining to watch

As a rally fan myself, I find it... uhm... a little disrespectful to call the Col De Turini just "something"... It's "a bit" more than that, it's pretty much the most famous and historic place in the WRC calendar.
