For many, exploring Europe is a cherished aspiration. The continent’s breathtaking landscapes, dotted with notable landmarks from both the New and Old Worlds, create the perfect backdrop for a weekend or week-long adventure. While most travelers opt for a rental car to navigate the winding roads, one YouTuber has chosen a unique approach—taking a McLaren F1, famously referred to as God’s chariot, from London to Spa Francorchamps. This exhilarating road trip through scenic countryside roads feels like a chapter from a favorite gentleman’s driving story, and it’s now becoming a thrilling reality.
Starting from the heart of England, Mr JWW assembled a dedicated crew and introduced his stunning violet F1, a vehicle that was once owned by Rowan Atkinson. Atkinson purchased the car for £640,000 in 1997, and it endured two accidents during his 18 years of ownership before he sold it for an impressive £7.3 million profit. From there, the small group continued their journey across Europe, including legendary stops like the Nurburgring and Stuttgart—places that certainly belong on any car enthusiast’s bucket list.
By the end of the first day, they had already covered significant ground on their nearly week-long adventure. The initial leg of the trip focused primarily on setting the stage for what’s to come, with plenty of exciting content still ahead.
Is there a more thrilling road trip out there? It is difficult to envision a better pairing of captivating scenery and extraordinary transportation, each steeped in rich history.
