Finding Europe's Best Driving Road! [06:00am In The Alps]

[@Druezy]

One of the only channels that I will intentionally sit down to watch a new video in the morning. Love all the work you and the team put out, can't wait for the GT3 content to start later in the year!

[@evns7142]

Agreed! The GT3 content is going to be mega.

[@vedelcarby773]

This guy is a top you tuber

[@garrettcicuto]

Totally agree. I do the same.

[@mso008]

He's so likeable and cinematography is awesome.

[@natbarron]

💯☕️

[@DiscoticUK]

The scenery may be spectacular but it takes a skilled person to capture and convey it as well as you have. Seriously impressive production! I'm going to have to watch this more than once!

[@MR.RICKVWYBRAIN]

🚩🔱🇮🇳🔥⚔️🛡

[@SuperTobbe12]

This is my new goal in life, to drive up this stunning road. Incredible video as always Sam, cinematic masterpiece😍

[@spicynugget_0294]

So did you do it?

[@albert_zweistein7196]

did you do now

[@SimplyChrono]

Did you it?

[@maxflame21]

Sam, Ive been watching your channel and podcast for years, but I drifted away from the content a couple years back. The reasoning is, as you described on the podcast, the feeling of chasing KZbin's algorithm. However, over the last six months your content has became next level and almost addictive. Brilliant work and I'm excited for your next adventure!

[@andrewjohnson5161]

Sam, those are Alpine Marmots at 9:00 - related to various marmots, (aka gophers/groundhogs, too, in parts of the US) in open habitats around the world (alpine, grassland, and tundra). Thanks for sharing a lovely morning!!

[@frederickontour1478]

I was watching this video with the KZbin app on my tv. It was spectacular. So spectacular I had to log in to my phone and leave a comment saying this (because you cannot comment with the tv app) Epic!

[@ppppoooooooopppppppp]

Have sent it to my wife we are defintely doing that drive, I was looking for an excuse to got to Austria in the summer. Thanks Sam as always stunning

[@jameshampton8730]

Thanks Sam. We were there in 2018 and we still remember each curve. Great video. Great views. Fun day. Thanks for sharing

[@gandalfkenobi007]

What an experience! Well worth the early start, thank you for taking us along. Bring on more adventures!

[@Racelinekarting]

Dunno how you do it Sam, but you keep making your videos better and better. They were already the best on KZbin and here you are raising the game even further.

[@seenthroughglass]

Wow, thank you!

[@ppatterson778]

The quality of these videos is superb. An absolute gulf in class between this and kids in Balenciaga tshirts holding iphones at arms length shouting about straight pipe exhausts and wraps. Hard work pays off Sam👍

[@Jaybop20]

That B-Roll 👌. These are the best videos to watch. Epic roadtrips in awesome cars in the mountains.

[@mannski7269]

Epic road, wow! Makes me want to go back to Austria again. The drones shots were next level Sam. Great work! Cheers from Ontario, Canada

[@shandyholliday]

Sam, you continue to produce the best auto content on the web. Much better than the some of other UK content that is purely advertisement content. Awesome.

[@standardh_]

Stopping so often for photos reminds me of hiking in Yosemite. Just when you thought you have the best view, you hike another 100 yards and it’s better, and then again in another 100 yards. So good.

[@TheVoiceblast]

one of your greatest videos, I must admit !

[@amessad]

Hey Sam the fact that you can drive on European roads sitting on the "wrong" side of the car AND STILL enjoy it always amazes me!!!! Great vid man!

[@mattmorris2867]

What a knob.

[@mattmorris2867]

What a knob.

[@Coffeedrinkerer]

Loving the content on this channel in combination with the podcasts. They’re both evolving into something that is a big part of my routines. You don’t waste my time, and whilst I recognise this is your business that needs ads etc I don’t feel like it’s a sales pitch all the time like some KZbinrs. I think you’ve struck the perfect balance. I don’t want to criticise other KZbinrs but TGE nowadays is almost comical with the level of ads and sponsors it makes me feel like I’m watching a contestant ad. This is the honest and entertaining automotive content I really enjoy! So thanks!

[@dailydriven991]

I wasn’t sure about the color at first but man that F Type is gorgeous

[@GregoryTKint]

Watched this on my smartphone a first time during the day. Now watching it again on my TV... The footage is just too stunning not to watch it on a big screen.

[@scenicdrivesscandinavia7988]

Epic roads! Just love these videos where the scenery is the main focus!

[@seenthroughglass]

Glad you like them!

[@robertdouglas5926]

That is probably the best cinematography I’ve seen you do yet Sam. Bravo!

[@kirkgould5075]

that colour is so sweet!

[@bensmusic1]

Even in my lowest of Days -I can sit and watch Seen through glass....feels my heart with glee. Love the energy, views, information and cars

[@BeBarnee]

Beautiful video! I love this place! I remember coming here when I was 10 years old. The top of the road was covered with snow even in August, and the Glacier ran all the way down. It's kinda sad to see how little of it is left, but what can you do. I can attest that during daytime the road can be really busy, so it's best to go up really early or really late for the sunset.

[@tkmaxism]

Don’t normally comment, but this is next level Sam. Bravo.

[@natbarron]

Wish I could grab a coffee with you Sam - you seem like a genuine, down to earth bloke.

[@tonymoreton7166]

Mind blowing how you manage to put footage like this together. Just mind blowing!

[@ElvinMarco]

I've been driving there back in June. Absolutely stunning!

[@jayhinchliffe5020]

OMG these cinematics 😍 The only channel that mixes cars with view like this

[@petewatson4093]

Patreon Pete here Sam Loved the video, you've definitely "influenced" me to get over there! Bravo 👏

[@snakewad123]

Well done Sam. Been watching you for years I'm 28 and it's nice to see a young guy happy and doing what he loves due to his own dedication / obsession. Your low key inspirational. Just grinding week after week making the content you want to make . 🙏

[@cornevanzyl4172]

Love the Gross Glockner... one of the most amazing roads I've ever had the privilege to drive on.

[@allanpeterson3358]

Sam take care of yourself! Love you and your videos!

[@kaydesign]

Stylish combo; beautiful Jag, amazing scenery! I hope to do this once in my 1967 Mustang (when it’s finished : )

[@JMossyman]

A terrific video Sam. I drive the same road a few years ago in a friend’s 458 Spider. He’s sadly not with us now so some great memories 🙏

[@LemonJelly360]

Can we just have all of your videos shot in the Alps? It is the perfect backdrop and my absolute favourite place in the world.

[@metalgearbas4]

You're rapidly becoming one of my favourite carchannels man. Besides the obviously incredible productionvalue, the great cars and drives, there's something else about your videos. Something that breaaathes and ooooozes car-enthusiast, something that I recognize my own inner-child in, my own car-fanatic. Watching your videos always makes me want to get into my car and drive, and that's the core of what a carvideo really should be about I think. Keep it up!

[@_Jester_]

Try some of the passes in Switzerland: Furka, Nufenen, Stelvio, St. Bernadino - just to name a few. They don't cost a cent and are just epic.

[@carloscanizares101]

Man, my goal is to be your full time camera person/editor/motion graphics artist and travel to amazing places, work with amazing cars and an amazing person! The reason your channel is my favourite is because you’re relatable. You enjoy life and the cars are just part of this life. Well done, once again!

[@abrarhuda4291]

Been following STG for a good 5 years now, i swear, the content just keeps on getting better & better!

[@jameshblack]

This is now on my MUST DO LIST

[@quality1mario876]

The open top is menacing. awesome scenery.

[@davidpalmer908]

You are head and shoulders above the others. Your work ethic is incredible. respect.

[@2Bunphettered788]

4:43 min - only Sam and Harry Metcalfe have segments in their uploads where they're driving and there's no talking or music. Perfect. 👍

[@paultaylor9652]

Got to be one of your best video's Sam, I imagine not many of us will ever get the chance to drive this road, so a BIG THANKS for this one, you did good.

[@nerowolf8006]

These are honestly my favorite kinds of videos from you. A great car on an epic roadtrip. Youre a travel and car channel in one and thats why youre one of my favorites

[@bernhard1360]

such a fantasic video about a road i know well. beautifully captured

[@RAZGR1Z]

Sam, you've outdone yourself this time! Absolutely stunning cinematography and a great drive! Love the spec of the F-Type.

[@macman6777]

Best video this channel has produced! Well done Sam.

[@gedam131]

Best automotive KZbin channel in the world!!

[@TVR-Steve]

One of "Those" perfect drives where everything just lined up. Incredible video, stunning shots, fantastic car and a great audio mixing to bring the engine noise in as much as possible. A truly outstanding car video for us petrolheads, thank you.

[@olivierdelmas-allsopp5183]

Hi Sam, It reminds me of very fond memories as I did exactly the same road with a Jaguar F type R in 2018. What a place! what a car!

[@wouternagengast8452]

Epic scenery, but also epic Cinematography, great work Sam!!

[@semikolon6440]

Love the mix of b-roll and raw driving footage

[@Simon_PieMan]

I recently bought a P450 so love following your F-Type travels.

[@hugobones4496]

Best car channel at the minute sam. Smashing it! And the podcast too

[@mikeowen1819]

Thank you so much Sam. We were in Salzburg a few years ago in May and this was on our itinerary but it was still closed due to snow. Thankfully the website has a live feed and tells you if it's likely to be closed or open for the day so we were spared a wasted journey. However, I was bitterly disappointed to have missed out and now... well I'm in two minds. I've now seen what we missed (so thank you) but am also more determined than ever to get back to see it again!!!

[@steph4156]

Awesome stuff Sam, best channel on KZbin by far, very relaxing as well

[@Watchy771]

LOVED the tunnel shot in the end :)

[@shaunwalford3534]

I spent 2 days driving this road in October last year, it was absolutely insane! Well worth the journey!

[@jameshiggins8329]

We drove over the pass in 2005 in our S Type, it was busy so we chilled and enjoyed the scenery. The previous few days we had spent in Zel um Sea, and it was Strum season, a few very very merry locals suggested we order it instead of a beer. It is only available for a few weeks, it is served in half pint glasses, tastes like lemonade and and after 1 we were very very merry, after 3 well I can't remember much other than the whole town square full of happy drunks. We were booked in for 3 nights at Chalet - Hotel Senger in Heiligenblut with plans to go on to Graz then Vienna but my daughter got knocked down back in Scotland as in a phone call "you don't have to come home but E got knocked into a garden by a car that mounted the pavement ( a kid just passed his test drove at other kids as a laugh and slammed his brakes on.....only tofindcars skid in the wet)". We had to wait until the pass opened but we were 2nd in line at the toll booth and it was anything but a relaxed drive, the start of a 1250 mile journey back to the UK non stop other than a 4 hour wait at the tunnel - not a complaint, it was not our scheduled return date and they gave us 1st available slot. Alpine pass, Unrestricted autobahns and open French motorway then turned into roadworks from Ashfield all the way round the M25. Had to force my wife to stop on motorway near Birmingham at 3am then had to stop myself at 4am to sleep only for my wife to moan at me when she found me sleeping at wheel in service station car park, a quick coffee and then on road. Back at 7am in Scotland. My daughter was fine. He'll of a drive Great video, love the car and love your enthusiasm for the F Type. If I did not need 4 seats for days out with grandkids I would have bought one, still the P300 XE was a good practical choice. If I remember on the way up we saw a giant furry stuffed beaver thing. We also saw the local motorbike gang with the stuffed beaver as it's badge on the back of their jackets, a friendly lot they were....mind you if they were on Strum then they could be nothing else

[@danzhangmagic]

this channel really deserves 1 mill subs, the production level is just so good

[@mk.h]

indeed ❤ morning drives. Dusk is absolutely gorgeous.

[@BakersTaste]

I can't tell if this video was amazing thanks to the natural beauty or mainly thanks to your amazing skills. Either way, wow.

[@andrewflynn382]

Amazing video Sam. Love the cinematography to capture the beauty of the scenery. The sound of that V8 is pretty special too.

[@pauluden5624]

I remembered being blown away by that road on my motorbike some good ten years ago , must go back !! Awesome video Sam , you did the road justice 👌

[@DestroyerGT]

Having been there the last 3 summers with my SLK, this video, as good as it is (and it is very good) doesn't do it justice. I agree with you, you really have to go there yourself. On a small note: the Edelweißspitze is actually the highest point at 2500+ meters and the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe (the place next to the glacier) is slightly lower at 2300+ meters.

[@henilsavani]

The content is on another level in this one. Well done Sam!

[@vishnun9183]

Great video man keep up the good work . It feels so nice to see people use their cars .

[@sesto194]

I drove that road in my buddys SLS and he in his AMG GT-R last year. My god what a road it is, we got some epic shots . Perks of being a photographer

[@DenisQuentinSimon]

Oh my god, the opening drone shot ! This is magnificent ! The quality of this channel is just amazing. I can’t wait for GT3 content !

[@atriseepersad929]

The automotive/ travel content we are here for! Kudos Sam!

[@Jay-tc9on]

Another fantastic video! You manage to blend the scenery, travel, food and driving in together so well. Top notch as always.

[@kaiser9100]

I rode up this road in 2019 on my Triumph, I really don’t think really I appreciated it until watching this. Stunning.

[@driven-adventures]

Thanks Sam. This video inspired me to do an Alpine Roadtrip which I currently am on. The Grossglockner was epic! I now have many more to do and many more revisits as I now have set up a car tour business. Thank you and keep doing what you do 👍

[@sickjohnson]

Good to see you out and having some fun Sam!

[@cllris]

Cracking video Sam. Been watching your videos for many years and I'll be honest to admit I dip in and out (usually having a bit of a binge catch-up). Just want to say how much I appreciate videos like this where you are doing this completely solo. I imagine it can get quite lonely sometimes doing things like this so genuinely appreciate you sharing these adventures with us. Keep it up. We love it. ✌️

[@mattacres937]

Another fantastic video beautifully filmed I always make time to watch them brilliant channel.

[@davidcollins9350]

This is the occasion we request a love emoji. Great video, which I shall watch and share again & again

[@michaeldiguglielmo7324]

That was so enjoyable to watch. So much more entertaining than a boring drive on an autobahn and around a certain German race track like other you tubers .Beautifully filmed and edited . Great job

[@RemiPut]

Always like your road trip video's Sam !!! You nailed it !!👍

[@eliotmead6943]

Absolutely stunning cinematography Sam!! And the brown coloured F-type really suits the scenery - looks epic!

[@martins6840]

Great video Sam, super footage and content, perfect for a little bit of escapism in between my own road trips. Keep doing what you do mate.

[@Stenbox]

6:44 that exhaust sound is just perfect

[@juanpablodelgado2227]

I love this kind of content on you’re channel

[@davidclarke7728]

We kept our 5 litre XKR in our garage in France which we had for 8 years, we have driven all over France , Spain , Portugal, Italy and just love driving there , it’s spectacular, I would encourage anybody that loves touring to get out there , I don’t have a favourite but there are so many great drives , this being one of them , got an F type now and off to Spain again in July via Bilbao and over to the Cantabrian mountains near Portugal , can’t wait

[@iansheppard9736]

I first drove the Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse in a Singer Chamois in 1968 with a pal on our way eventually to Rimini . It wasn't as tidy then but great fun, especially with the cornering ability of the Imp! Happy days.

[@irvb9881]

Beautiful roads, scenery and camerawork - but oh my god, the glacier 😱.

[@JoshKemponcars]

Awesome video Sam! 🙌🏼 live this kind of content, keep them coming

[@weaponizedmaddness2700]

Probably one of the most amazing videos I've ever seen. Enjoyed every moment. Keep up the most amazing work. Can't wait to see you when you finally do a podcast in Ireland.

[@chrisdyson5513]

Totally absorbing video, spectacular scenery and the most professional production quality of any of your contemporaries. You really nail it with this type of content.

[@SalomOon01]

Amazing video Sam! What an incredible road that is, you did a great job with drones and go pros it’s like we are there with you! Next level content, as always. Keep the adventures coming! 🤩

[@lanceuppercut7436]

Really enjoyed being taken along for the ride Sam. Excellent video. Have to say, I also enjoyed all the different driving camera angles you captured also.👌🏻👌🏻. Bravo mate. Spot on.👍🏻

[@mrrs1113]

Scenery in those parts is indeed mind blowing!! Thank you for a fantastic piece of cinematic perfection ✌ and love the genuine passion you have for... cars, roads, coffee and sweets 😅

[@donalobrien5611]

Sam, you are knocking it out of the park with your content at the moment! Loving Behind The Glass with Tony as well. Keep doing what you are doing 👊

[@TIMSANDYSURF]

What a great place. Beautiful scenery and a beautiful car. The V8 f type is such a great GT.

[@thegermangamer8018]

You've made it, Sam, you've influenced me. I did the drive last weekend on my way to the f1 race in austria. Getting up early was really worth it. You have my thanks.

[@88SteffenW]

Great video, Sam! I really appreciate the quality of your content recently! I realize it's hard work.

[@scottguenther-lee2214]

What a great adventure in your new Jaguar! Thanks for sharing the amazing vistas. 🤎
