Welcome to Tuscany with Gran Turismo.
11-15 October 2023
Florence – Chianti – Grosseto – Lucca – Florence
Join Gran Turismo for a weekend in Tuscany, with a beautiful road trip from Florence to Chianti, Montepulciano, Forte dei Marmi, and Lucca. Three days of driving on great Tuscan roads and four nights in luxury hotels. Supercar included!
Among the most beautiful places on Earth. Full of rolling hills, vineyards, and fantastic food. We should not forget about all the incredible roads, which are abundant here – perfect for a fast car.
During this long weekend, four days in total with Gran Turismo, you will have about 500 miles of pure driving joy with your supercar of choice. You will also have a lot of great food, and some of the finest wine in from the region. It is the peak of Tuscan wine season after all.
Three days of driving.
The event consists of three driving days. The route takes you from Florence through Chianti along the beautiful rolling hills of Tuscany to Grosseto, then going up the Tuscan coast to Viareggio and Forte Dei Marmi, navigating Passo dell’Vestito to Garfagnana, and the ancient walled city of Lucca, before returning to Florence.
The total driving distance is about 500 miles, spread over three driving days. Over 150 miles on twisty roads every day is hard work – you will be quite exhausted when you arrive to the hotel, after a day on the road. A cold glass of prosecco will taste heavenly.
Your supercar is included.
Wait, what? Yes – you read that right. The organizer was able to source 14 supercars for the event. You can find the list of available cars below, after the itinerary. When all cars are taken – the event is fully booked.
