hello all,

I am looking for some good weekend back country road that I can drive sport car to have some weekend fun in GTA and surrounding. Something like where famous Canadian car youtubers would take their cars for filming review

What is the best driving road in GTA and surrounding for car enthusiast and youtuber to drive? Any recommendation? Thank you

Why would anyone want to bring publicity to their favourite roads, before long they become Forks of the Credit on a weekend afternoon?

The Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway are the best at 2pm on weekends

I use Go Sunday Drive (https://gosundaydrive.com). They have an app that uses Google Maps. Lots of great drives in the GTA.

All of those shows film west of milton, around Campbellville and halton hills. You can do a run through Campbellville, over the escarpment and down Steeles to Tremaine. Go shred rhe roundabouts on Tremaine, west on Britannia to cedar springs, sideroad 5 through water down to snake roads. West from snake rd and up rock chapel. Then into all the fun Dundas, Ancaster twisties from there.

I cringe when people promote Forks as a great driving road to out of town folk, it's basically a parade route at this point.

Conditions are trash now, but the best driving road in Southern Ontario is 518 east of Orrville. Combined with the Muskoka ring, makes for an amazing day of driving.

Halton region Police are all over this these days ( I live in the area and drive thru daily ) . be really careful with this ...

oh and be careful on Twiss road .. or a surprise awaits you .....

I guess that depends on your definition of what constitutes a pleasure drive, but if it includes spirited driving on mostly empty, twisty roads, with the permanent rush hour traffic almost everywhere in the GTA and speed enforcement with dire consequences on roads that may be somewhat less congested, pleasure drives in the GTA and surrounding areas are a thing of the past.

You'd need to spend at least three hours in a traffic jam to get to any nice scenic twisty roads that are not clogged up up with bumper-to-bumper traffic, and there is still the possibility that the local constabulary is operating a speed trap that can easily get your license suspended for a year and make you uninsurable for the at least the next three.

Yep, Halton is not a place to speed and they love sitting in the country on all the roads mentioned.

I was in Nova Scotia a couple of years ago. Very nice roads there.

Yep, stunting laws kicking in at 40 over below 80kmh is nasty. Could nice roads up there with 60 limits where hitting 100 isnt hard. Roadside impound and license suspension isn't worth it. Good point.

The two-week roadside impound and (administrative) license suspension are the least of your worries with a stunt driving ticket. It's the (non-administrative) suspension for a year - which is part of the minimum sentence - and the subsequent inability to get insurance without paying more for insurance than you did for the car itself that are the real deterrent. For two weeks you could just Uber it everywhere.

luckily 518 is 80 kmh in the fun bits which can be a challenge to hit. Back in my sport bike days I definitely got lucky missing a few 172 charges. The massive impacts of that law and how much discretion can be used in its application is scary. There's a bunch of "intent to" language, like you intended to break your tires loose etc.
