We spent the better part of last week in France to chase the 27th annual Tour Auto. The five-day road rally ranks among the most exciting and gruelling events of its type, covering over 2,000km on the road and additional time on four circuits for separate races. This year's edition took the drivers from the Grand Palais down the Eastern part of the country to finish in Nice, on the Cote d'Azur. This meant that many of the roads ran on the famous hills and mountains, providing many of the country's most spectacular backdrops. Among the highlights this year was a trek over the Col des Aravis, a special stage on the flank of the legendary Mont Ventoux and a final stage on the mythical Col de Turini. In addition to showing off France, the Tour Auto is also a real race and we were treated to some superb driving and last minute drama. The entry list featured such highlights as a Shelby Cobra Daytona, a Ferrari 250 MM, three OSCAs, numerous Porsche 911 Carrera RSRs and a trio of Ford GT40s.
