In this thrilling Fast Lane Car adventure sponsored by Naiv and featuring an Unimed arrow, the team tackles the Alaskan Highway in a BMW I8, sharing crucial driving tips for this rugged journey. They emphasize the importance of savoring the trip itself over fixating on the destination, as the Alaskan sites may lack significant attractions. Safety is paramount on this journey, with advice to carry a satellite phone due to spotty cell coverage and to ensure the gas tank never runs low in remote areas teeming with wildlife like bears and moose.
As the team delves deeper into their Alaskan odyssey, they caution viewers about the higher prices in regions like BC, Yukon, and Alaska, where accommodations become increasingly expensive as you head north. Food options along the highway are limited, especially for vegetarians, prompting the suggestion to bring along your own supplies to avoid culinary disappointment. The team humorously recounts how one of their crew members subsisted on nothing but hummus and pita bread during a previous trip due to the lack of diverse dining choices along the route.
When it comes to choosing the right vehicle for the Alaskan Highway, the team advises against high-performance tires and instead recommends a more rugged, off-road-ready option for the challenging terrain. They highlight the deteriorating road conditions as you progress northward, with gravel and construction zones posing additional challenges. Through their entertaining and informative journey, The Fast Lane Car team provides a vivid and practical guide for anyone considering taking on the Alaskan Highway, blending humor with essential tips for a successful and memorable road trip experience.
