After going to Sardinia in 2020, we immediately fell in love. The amazing hotels, the ultra-clear water and all the fantastic roads. This is heaven for driving a Ferrari or Lamborghini.
It is also here we found SS125 Orientale Sarda, the best road we have ever driven. And, we have been exploring Europe with supercars for two decades now. SS125 is really that good. It will take your breath away.
The event starts in Grand Hotel Poltu Quatu and ends at the legendary Cala di Volpe in Costa Smeralda. The hotel made famous by the James Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me. Many of the locations from the movie you will recognise on this tour, including the beach where James appeared with his submarine white Lotus Esprit.
We make a full lap of Sardinia, driving the top roads of the island and staying in the best hotels. Starting from Poltu Quatu in the northeastern corner, we drive south along the coast to Cala Gonone and then to the extremely cosy Su Gologone Hotel.
The following day we continue south over a spectacular mountain pass and stay at the beautiful five-star beach resort Chia Laguna near Cagliari. Then, we make our way north driving on the west coast to Alghero, before completing the loop arriving back to Cala di Volpe for the final two nights.
The event is five days. In total, we will drive a staggering 1 050 kilometres on spectacular roads, doing a full lap of the island from Poltu Quatu to Cala di Volpe in Costa Smeralda. The best part? A Ferrari or Lamborghini is included.
You bet! We have organised 18 supercars for this event. It is a selection of Ferrari and Lamborghini cars. You can find the entire list below. You can also join with your own supercar.
Each day will be roughly five hours of driving. Sometimes less, sometimes a bit more. Besides driving we will do stops for special activities and events along the road, like vista points, photo opportunities and other things.
The time schedule for each day is: breakfast at 9.00, start driving at 10.00, lunch en route, coffee break during the afternoon, arrival at the hotel during the late afternoon, aperitivo at 19:00 and dinner at 20.00.
Welcome to Sardinia and Costa Smeralda. The most beautiful place on the planet. Arriving at Hotel Poltu Quatu you will check in to the hotel and the event. The supercar you have chosen will be waiting for you just outside the lobby. If you arrive early, there is plenty of time to take your car for a spin.
At 19:00 we will have a welcome mingle in the hotel. After a short drivers briefing, we will have our opening dinner at Aruana Churrascaria, an award winning Brazilian steakhouse.

Arriving in the early afternoon there is plenty of time to hang out by the gigantic pool before we have aperitivo and dinner.
