April marks the annual recreation of the Tour de France Auto. This is a week long vintage rally which recreates the glory days of that race way back when. It always includes an incredible assortment of fantastic machinery combining special stages on closed roads, regularity rallies on standard roads and 4 different track events. This year's race is happening this week. Fighting for the lead, as of now are an M1 ProCar and a Ferrari 308.

There are many daily video postings on YouTube. All you need to do is type "Tour auto 2025". Here is one of them which shows what happens when your emotions take precedence over your brain even when driving a rare M1


And for a more polished video including commentary, here is a little documentary on last year's edition. You can click on the subtitles icon at the bottom right to get the English subtitles:

costly error on that turn by the M1 driver. Looks like he lost part of his front bumper
Yep, it would definitely have been cheaper to put it in reverse instead of going agricultural. I noticed that the piece was gone for the next cars so someone got a nice bit of memorabilia
