Over here in the states, companies can "Adopt a Highway".

I would imagine your particular road would be sponsored by Falken Tires :P

I'd definitely trade-in for an MTX if I had a road like that to play on (with no speed limit, either)!

That scenery reminds me of the road at the end of the film "28 days later".

Awesome!

As to the suggestion that it could have been built straighter - look carefully - the grade is steep enough to justify all those turns. Heck- they could have thrown in a few extra switchbacks while they were at it ;) Isn't 1 in 10 through 1 in 12 considered a good grade to drive up? I believe Pike's Peak in Colorado is much worse - perhaps a 1 in 8?
