1. Beg, borrow, steal, hire, or buy a plush GT (preferably and aston) and cruise through France to watch the Le Mans 24 hour.
In addition to that, one should start with that GT in the UK somewhere, and drive it all the way across Europe hitting as many GP circuits as possible, as well as going on autobahns and definitely the Alps.

23. Try to take Spa's Eau Rouge Flat.
24. Do a burnout.


I'll add more when I can think of some more, haha.

26. Participate in local driving event: autocross, drag, etc.

29 could be "drive the mulsanne straight" as this is a public road when not actually being used for racing.

Actually, i think Spa is also a public road (eau rouge?) Anyone know?

Obviously, monaco is public road (drove this myself a few weeks back )
