\"fosse<\/a><\/p>\n

The Roman road scythes across middle England and connects Exeter to Lincoln via Bath, Cirencester and Leicester<\/p>\n

\n

A little over 20 years ago, before speed cameras and carbon emissions and mandatory electronic reminder buzzers all began doing their best to change motoring enthusiasm profoundly for the worse, Honda<\/a> commissioned some research into the UK\u2019s favourite driving roads.<\/p>\n

More than 2000 respondents nominated the likes of the A686 out of Penrith, the A69 across the Pennines and the Yorkshire Dales\u2019 Buttertubs Pass for a list that became known as \u2018The Tarmac Oscars\u2019.<\/p>\n

That survey, incidentally, would shortly thereafter inspire an Autocar supplement called \u2018The B-road Baftas\u2019, edited by yours truly, whose greatest legacy was probably the strongly worded letter of complaint that it attracted from lawyers representing the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. But anyway\u2026<\/p>\n

When Honda\u2019s survey results were reported, a 21-year-old me \u2013 still but an Autocar reader at the time, apoplectic of the rural Midlands \u2013 couldn\u2019t figure out why the best driving road in the known universe had been overlooked.<\/p>\n

What could be wrong with the Fosse Way, that storied stretch of old Roman magnificence that curves, rises and scythes its way across middle England, on an almost perfect north-east-to-south-west diagonal, like a glistening ribbon of fat through\u00a0a porterhouse steak?<\/p>\n

Too busy? Too straight?\u00a0Not pretty enough? Piffle.<\/p>\n

How could there possibly be 10 better driving roads in the UK? Back then, I was convinced that there couldn\u2019t possibly be. Now? Let\u2019s say I\u2019m a little wiser and better travelled \u2013 and not quite so righteously indignant.<\/p>\n

But the Fosse Way still holds a very special place in my heart, much as it\u2019s now even busier than it was and, as anyone connected with JLR<\/a> will know rather too well, has been dug up, punted around, remodelled\u00a0and resurfaced more times in recent years\u00a0than befits a national treasure.<\/p>\n

The Fosse Way isn\u2019t like other roads. It has several numbers for starters: A46, B4114, A429, A433, A367, to name but a few. It has junctions with equally wonderful other Roman roads: Watling Street, Ermin Street, Akeman Street.<\/p>\n

And to drive: even on a bad day, there\u2019s an unmistakable air of doggedness and soaring indomitability about the way it imposes itself on the landscape.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a distinctly fast-European feel about the radii of the curves, when they do appear, and a striking sense that, when there\u2019s a gradient to be climbed, it will be climbed bloody directly and then ridden on the way down again like a crest of a tidal bore.<\/p>\n

Also, it\u2019s, erm, quite straight in places, which means there\u2019s \u2013 whisper it \u2013 overtaking to be had. Yes, even in 2024.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a sentimental element at play\u00a0for me, because the Fosse Way wriggles right past the house where I grew up.<\/p>\n

And so when I passed my driving test, aged 17, it was this road\u2019s own special brand from which I drank my first few hundred miles of motoring freedom.<\/p>\n

The Fosse Way might just have made\u00a0me a petrolhead \u2013 and even today it\u2019s still\u00a0a rewardingly carpe diem sort of drive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
