I haven't been but surely the only place to be is the Col de Turini.

Thanks Rick and RJ, that's a great help. It's for OH's cousin who's delivering a GTR to Monaco and wants to cross it off his bucket list. Personally I'm not going to read too deeply as I will want to go too and 600 miles to watch a rally, even the Monte Carlo, is a bit too far and I can't combine it with anything else at this time of year.....

Ha ha yes everywhere is a bit of a jaunt. I try to get to Spa for at least 1 or 2 track days each year. 1,800 klms round trip for me.
