Great Australian drives
In celebration of the MX-5’s 30th anniversary, Zoom-Zoom travelled the length and breadth of the United Kingdom to drive each generation of car on the roads that helped inspire its design. You can read that story here. But you don’t need to travel to the UK for a great time in your MX-5 – here are some unparalleled drives in Australia to inspire your next road trip.
1. Victoria’s Great Ocean Road (above) is one of the most famous stretches of tarmac in the world, and combines a great driving experience with a spectacular view.
2. The Adelaide Hills have hosted numerous motorsport events and there’s nothing stopping you enjoying the same roads as the professionals in your MX-5.
3. Tasmania’s 99 Bends from Queenstown to Derwent Bridge is famous for its sweeping curves, glorious views and some of the most thrilling races in Targa history.
4. Mount Panorama in New South Wales is a public road that makes up part of the legendary Bathurst 1000 street circuit.
