Jan Kalmar
At the age of just 14 years Jan Kalmar announced to his parents that he had bought a ticket to Australia and would be gone for a month. His yearning to explore the world has never abated, and he founded KALMAR Beyond Adventure to share his passion, developing driving experiences using classic Porsches modified to take the rough with the smooth. Kalmar has visited some 138 countries and driven almost every route imaginable. Is it even possible for him to choose a favourite?
“The Stelvio Pass was my first love affair with the road. ” — Jan Kalmar
“The Stelvio Pass was my first love affair with the road. Then there was the Transfăgărășan in Romania where I once used a set of tyres going up. There was nothing left, I absolutely maxed out. I have a cool video of that and and people were cheering. But now, after Top Gear went there, it’s so crowded, so, it’s very hard to find good tarmac passes. The Transalpina, which is next to it, is better and more dangerous”.
