Good news for two-wheel enthusiasts, then: the Strada della Forra, the serpentine road lining Garda, is coming to Ride 3 this November.
The team at Milestone — the studio behind Sebastien Loeb Rally EVO and Gravel — showed off its take on the road in the video above. “Art” is certainly an appropriate term: Strada della Forra is an almost unfairly good-looking ribbon of asphalt, and Milestone has seemingly cherry-picked some of its standout features.
