When the Top Gear team received whisper that deep within Romania lurked one of the world’s best driving roads they had no option but to seek it out. And to do so, they got hold of three superb convertible supercars in what became an incredible Eastern European adventure. From a noise test underneath the world’s heaviest building and James’s romantic encounter with the Dacia Sandero to a small accident with the locals and Jeremy in a silly hat, this trip has everything. And best of all, it culminates with three wonderful cars enjoying absolute petrolhead nirvana.

Romania, a country on the borderline of the Middle and East Europe. By rail we travel from the capital Bucharest to the heart of the country. In a way travelling through Romania is like travelling through time. At places where the rails cut through the country, we see pictures that in the West belong to the past. We’ll visit the centres of Bucharest and Brasov. With their little bricks and old-fashioned houses these cities provide romantic scenery.
