Now here's how you start a season: for the first episode of Season 14, Top Gear set out – in an Aston Martin DBS Volante, a Ferrari California and a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder, of course – to find the world's greatest driving road. They found it in Romania, in the Carpathian Mountains, on the outskirts of Transylvania. Obviously.
The Transfăgărăşan was built in the early 1970s by order of Nicolae Ceauşescu, just in case the Soviet Union ever thought of invading Mother Romania. It took six million kilograms of dynamite to build the road's northern face... because the 1970s were a crazy time.
Here's the Top Gear clip. Turns out the 2010s are a crazy time too.
