Scotland NC500, 2025
The long, hot summer of 2025 was a record breaker which ensured the full beauty of the Scottish Highlands was there for us all to see.
Four Aston Martins – a DB11, Vantage N430, DBS, and Vantage Roadster – felt right at home at the evocative James Bond Skyfall location. They were joined by the usual German contingent: Porsche Boxster, GT4 RS, & Spyder RS, along with a BMW M4 Competition, Audi TTRS, three Mercedes; an SL63 AMG, CL63 AMG, and a Brabus B50, followed by a Ferrari 296 GTB, Nissan R35 GTR, and Toyota GR Yaris. Such a diverse and fascinating mix of sports cars were accompanied by an equally brilliant group of 27 drivers and passengers.
From the Scottish Borders, all the way to Bridge of Orchy, we had a blast, both on the roads and in the evenings.
“This was my first organised car tour, and I can confidently say it won’t be my last!
From the outset, Richard was incredibly helpful – he took the time to talk through the various tours offered by OTR and suggested the NC500 as a great introduction. I really appreciated the advice.
The pre-tour meetups were a fantastic idea. They gave me a chance to connect with more experienced tourers and pick up some valuable tips before setting off.
The entire NC500 tour was flawlessly planned and executed, with scenic routes, well-paced driving days, and top-quality hotel stays throughout.
One of the highlights was the group itself – I met some great people, and the evenings spent sharing stories over dinner and drinks were just as enjoyable as the drives.
I’d highly recommend OTR to anyone considering a car tour. Looking forward to booking my next one already!”
