Even managed to out-drive a Ford Explorer and a modified Toyota Altis that were carving their way through the same road.
For those who will be going there for a fun drive on a weekend, I suggest keeping your speed at 60kph through the curves because some of the curves may catch the unwary due to decreasing radius curves. Avoid using the brakes too much by keeping your CVT in manual-shift mode. You'll be using mostly 2 and some 3 only.
The "road" itself was great, just as I remember it BUT getting there is kinda a small pain because of some amount of traffic due to road work going on before I reached the "road".
