Clarkson, Hammond and May called the Transfăgărășan Highway in Romania, the greatest driving road in the world, and now it's my turn to find out if they are right! Ask any local, and they will tell you to try the neighbouring Transalpina, sounds like a perfect plan to me, let's go!

My AMG GT Black Series is spectacularly well travelled; having done stints in both the MIddle-East and the USA, but this adventure has taken us from Hungary via Croatia to Montenegro for the last leg of Gumball 3000, before a drive across Serbia and Bulgaria before arriving in Romania. Today we set off for the continuation of Homball, departing from the Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest for a journey through the Carpathian Mountains,

Back in 2009, the famous Top Gear trio named the Transfăgărășan as the greatest driving road in the world when the drove it with an Aston Martin DBS Volante (Clarkson), Ferrari California (Hammond) and Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder (May). Having heard all about it many times over the years but with the small inconvenience of being 2,000 miles (3,000 kms) from home, it's finally time to find out for myself what it's all about.

Both the Transfagarasan and Transalpina highways peak over 2,000m altitude, with changes of scenery along their twists and turns over the mountain ranges. What I hadn't expected was definitely to go around a corner and be greeted by a bear running in the road, plus countless other surprises along the way. Does one of these take the title for being the greatest driving road in the world? Let's take them in and find out!

Thanks for watching, Tim
