  • The journey to Fiat Freakout 2024 took us right by the Tail of the Dragon, so we had to drive it! Here is how it went.

    I had a blast when I took my bone stock Abarth here! Hopefully you got to drive Cherohala Skyway, I'd argue that's more fun than the dragon!

      I have heard a lot of people say that about the Cherohala. We didn't have time to drive that, but we did do Diamondback.

    Would really like to see your run without time compression. It's a fun run - no need to save time! Would like to experience it with you, not just hear the music! Really hoping you show the full footage without time compression!

      The problem is the vast number of viewers won't watch a road run that long. The goal of this video was to let people who have never driven the Dragon a chance to see what it is.

      I respect that, but I would put myself in the category of wanting to see the whole thing. I just took my spider, Amelia, up to the tail for the first time with Fiat on the Dragon, and had so much fun! That’s why I’d love to see it - I could see how we both did on our first runs!
      In any case, glad you got to run it, and had a great time!

      @@Agililord Definitely a fun road and with such little traffic, it was even better.

    Don't really see what's so special about the 'tail of the dragon' road. Auto Amateur goes there in his Porsches and as a UK viewer this is just a standard country road. It doesn't have any views there are too many tight bends. Roads like this and much better are everywhere in the UK. I was in Wales UK yesterday in my Abarth 124 (go all the time) and the roads and scenery would blow these out of the water. It seems bizarre for me a country the size of the US and an average road like this can become a tourist attraction.

      you are complaining about a road with "too many tight bends" and questioning why people want to drive it? Weird.

    • @DropTopTees
      @DropTopTees  Před měsícem

      The attraction is the high number of turns in 11 miles. There are numerous other routes in this locale that, in my opinion, are better road runs. But this one is the most famous.

      Can you give us some example roads? Would love to look at them and see what you get to drive in the UK.

      @@Chilicharger665 Not questioning why people want to drive it, I'm questioning why such an un-impressive road is a tourist attraction in a country the size of the US. Also, if you drive sports cars a lot you would know that tight bends and having to change gear can get tiresome after a while.

      @@DropTopTees There are literally 1000s of great roads in the UK. Any country road outside of a town or city will be a great driving road. Tourist roads are the A82 Glencoe, A5 Capel Curig, Cambrian Way, Llanberis Pass, Honister Pass, Hellfire Pass, Horseshoe Pass, Isle of Skye, Kirkstone Pass, etc. My personal favourites are the B4405 in Wales, The A493 Estuary Road Wales. ALL the roads that are in the National Parks are stunning.
