Here’s the first of our three stages at the Col de Turini. In this one, the pace-notes we created from eyeballing the 1:25k map were a little off in places, and it was our first proper rally drive since Wales so a little rusty.

Road challenge (35% weight): 8/10
Scenery (25% weight): 8/10
Traffic level (35% weight): 8/10
Weather (5% weight): 8/10

Overall Rating: 8/10

You might be wondering why we didn’t give a 10/10 across the board – it’s simple, nothing is ever “perfect”.

 

We attempted a run around another road recommended by drivingroads, beautiful scenery was all around us, but making progress on the road was difficult due to the number of camper vans that were out.  This was in March.  In all, we don’t think we could recommend this as a road to have a spirited drive around; you’ll end up stressed behind traffic.  Take on the Elan valley instead, it’s far superior and a lot more fun.

Road challenge (35% weight): 5/10
Scenery (25% weight): 8/10
Traffic level (35% weight): 3/10
Weather (5% weight): 4/10

Overall Rating: 4.95/10

Our overall rating is the sum of each category calculated as follows: (((category score * available points) / 100)*category weighting)/100)

In the case of Road challenge, this would be:
5*10 = 50
50 * 3.5 = 175
175/100 = 1.75

Feel free to comment if this doesn’t make sense :)
