DRIVE IT BEFORE YOU DIE

Dhofar Mountains, Oman

-

Which bit?

A loop from Oman’s second city, Salalah. Start and finish at the airport and it’s 71 miles. Watch out for camels

I still can’t find it…

Pop 17.010862, 53.935308 then 17.126606, 54.101001 to take you through the mountains to many hairpins

When should I go?

Salalah is the same all year – 30°C – so go during a British winter for some welcome sun

Why the RS3?

Its AWD feels hilariousl­y rearbiased on those hairpins, and the roads are empty enough to try launch control
