Among the many historic rallies, the Tour Auto is the one that remains the most faithful to the original version organized by the “Automobile Club de France” from 1899 to 1986. Compared to the Mille Miglia, which has become a regularity race, the Tour Auto also includes uphill and track races with the participants divided into two rankings: regularity and competition. Patrick Peter, the organiser, went out of his way to maintain the style of this remarkable competition, even going so far as to admit the public – obviously with due caution – to the special stages.
