TOUR AUTO OPTIC 2ooo (18-23 APRIL)
SPECIAL 25th EVENT
The next Tour Auto Optic 2ooo – 18/23 April 2016 – will be a special celebration of the event’s
25th anniversary and will be run over a new route for the 230 crews taking part: it will finish with a
night stage on famous rally roads in the Côte d’Azur hinterland. On this occasion homage will be
paid to the cars that have written the legend of the Tour like the Ferrari 250 GT Competizione, the
Jaguar 3,8 l MKII and the Ligier JS2.
In keeping with tradition the 2016 Tour Auto Optic 2ooo will begin on Monday 18th April with the
cars on display in the Grand Palais in Paris. The next day (Tuesday 19th April) the crews will leave the
French capital at the crack of dawn to go to the official start at the Château de Courances. They will
then set off on French roads to do battle in the timed events (competition or regularity) on 4 circuits
(Dijon-Prenois, Bresse, Lédenon, Paul Ricard) as well as 11 special stages on closed roads.
Every year the route of the Tour Auto Optic 2ooo is changed, and in 2016 it will include Beaune, Lyon
and Valence after which the competitors will arrive on the Mediterranean coast as the fourth leg will
end in Marseille. Then they will head for the Croisette in Cannes for the finish of the 25th Tour Auto
Optic 2ooo after a journey of around 2000 kilometers.
Two night stages
To make sure that this anniversary event remains firmly engraved in everybody’s memory, Peter
Auto has added a night stage to the programme for the first time! Thus, the crews who arrive in
Cannes on Saturday afternoon will still have another challenge ahead of them. After a few hours rest
they will all head for the roads in the hinterland on the Côte d’Azur for a night run, punctuated by
two special stages, followed by the finish on the Croisette in the night of Saturday and Sunday
bringing down the curtain on the 25th Tour Auto Optic 2ooo.

THE 2016 ROUTE - SPECIAL 25th EVENT
TOP-LINE ROAD-CLOSING CAR DRIVERS
ARI VATANEN
World Rally Champion in 1981 in a Ford Escort RS 1800, four-time winner of Paris-Dakar in a
Peugeot 205 T16 Grand Raid (1987), Peugeot 405 Mi16 (1989, 1990) and Citroën ZX (1991),
Finnish driver Ari Vatanen also hit the headlines by setting a new record for the Pikes Peak
hill climb in 1988 in a Peugeot 405 T16 GR, a performance immortalized in the film, Climb
Dance. After he hung up his helmet Vatanen became involved in politics and elected to the
European parliament in 1999 and again in 2004. He is now a BMW ambassador and will be
an official road-closing car driver in an M4 coupe.
FRANÇOIS CHATRIOT
François Chatriot, nicknamed ‘The Cat’ was one of the front-runners in the French Rally
Championship in the 80s winning the title twice (1989 and 1990) in a BMW M3. He will be
another new road-closing car driver in the Tour Auto Optic 2ooo. He knows the event well
as he won it in a Renault 5 Maxi Turbo in 1986 (the year of the last Tour de France
Automobile). Chatriot also shone in ice racing clinching the Andros Trophy and victory in the
Chamonix 24 Hours in 1995 in an Opel Astra.
MONDAY 18th APRIL: THE TOUR AUTO OPTIC 2ooo ON DISPLAY IN THE GRAND PALAIS
The Grand Palais (photo), a unique monument in the heart of Paris, was
inaugurated for the Universal Exhibition in 1900. Its lavish architecture of stone,
metal and glass has won the hearts of several million visitors and numerous
organisers. It was the theatre of the very first Salon de l’Automobile in 1901,
which it continued to host up till 1961. This exceptional setting has also been used
for a raft of other exhibitions to highlight “objets d’art,” fashion parades and
collectors’ cars. More than 200 cars with glossy bodywork hiding finely-tuned
engines will be on display, ready to tackle the 25th event the next day when they
will set out to cover almost 2 000 kilometers to reach the finish in Cannes five
days later.
 TUESDAY 19th APRIL: PARISBEAUNE (1 special stage + Dijon-Prenois circuit)
As dawn breaks the cars will leave the Grand Palais and go to the Château de
Courances (photo) where the official start of the 2016 Tour Auto Optic 2ooo will
be given. The Château de Courances is located 47 km south-east of Paris in the
Essonne departement. It was built between 1622 and 1630 by Claude Gallard
and has undergone several changes over the years. After falling into disuse in
the 19th century it was completely restored in 1872 by Baron Samuel de Haber,
a rich Swiss banker, who was looking for an exceptional residence. Its park is
considered to be one of the most beautiful in France and has received the label
‘‘Jardin remarquable’’. After the first special stage, the crews will have lunch in
the Fontenay Abbey. It was founded in 1118 and is the oldest preserved
Cistercian abbey in the world and part of the UNESCO World Heritage since
1981. In the early afternoon the Tour field will arrive at the Dijon-Prenois circuit,
one of the great European motor racing venues, for their first on-track battle.
After the confrontation the crews will head for Beaune, the end of the first leg
(the longest of the week in terms of distance). The town has a rich historical
heritage and is considered as the capital of Burgundy wines; it is also famous for
its Hospices auction.
 WEDNESDAY 20th APRIL: BEAUNELYON (2 special stages + Bresse circuit)
The day after the first leg to get the crews in the Tour Auto Optic 2ooo well
warmed up, they will leave Beaune for the Bresse circuit, then the Cluny
Abbey (photo), seat of a major medieval monastic order in Europe, where
they will have lunch under the high Roman vaults. Then the participants will
go to the start of the afternoon’s two special stages after which they will end
the day in Lyon, the confluence of the Rhône and the Saône rivers. The city
lies between the Massif Central to the west and the Alps to the east so it
occupies a strategic position in the north-south circulation in Europe. Lyon
was the former capital of the Gaules in the Roman Empire and it is the thirdlargest city in France with almost 500 000 inhabitants. It is home to a very
valuable artistic and cultural heritage, and enjoys a great reputation as a
centre of gastronomy with numerous chefs who have achieved worldwide
renown.
 THURSDAY 21st APRIL: LYONVALENCE (3 special stages)
The crews will leave Lyon to tackle a 395-km leg, one of the longest in the
2016 event. They will follow the road-book to the first two stages of the day
and then have lunch in the Château de Gourdan (photo), a cultural hotspot in
the Ardéche built in the middle of the XVIIIth century by Count Pierre de
Vogüé, the Maréchal de Villars’ nephew. In front of the main building the
French-style garden set on an artificial terrace adds to the château’s charm
with its boxwood borders and its rose and orange trees in summer. The third
and last stage of the day will take place in the afternoon. This long leg will
finish in Valence in the Rhône valley, often called the gateway to the south of
France. It has many historic monuments the majority of which are in the old
town as well as numerous canals that have criss-crossed it over more than 17
km since Roman times.
 FRIDAY 22nd APRIL: VALENCEMARSEILLE (2 special stages + Lédenon circuit)
The second-last day will be another highlight with two special stages on closed
roads that will challenge the skills of the drivers. The first will be followed by
lunch in the Abbaye de Bouchet (photo). It was founded in the XIIth century for
women and was then attached to the Cistercian order in 1198. It was pillaged
during the religious wars and saved from ruin as a national treasure - like many
national monuments - in the French Revolution. It then became a silk-making
factory until 1970 after which it was bought by a wine cooperative group to be
used as a cellar in which to age the wines. Since 2005, the abbey is again part of
the communal heritage. The drivers will have a busy afternoon with another
special stage and races on the Lédenon circuit before setting out for Marseille
where they will go to the parc fermé on the MUCEM esplanade; the finish of the
Tour Auto Optic 2ooo in 2014! This very old city, which has a rich historic and
urban history, is one of the biggest towns on the Mediterranean.
 SATURDAY 23rd APRIL/SUNDAY 24th APRIL: MARSEILLECANNES
(3 special stages + Paul-Ricard circuit)
The leading crews will again have to get up very early for the ultimate leg. They
will start the day with a special stage followed by the final on-track battles of
this anniversary event on the Paul Ricard circuit where lunch will be served.
They will then drive down the Castellet plateau to Cannes. But that’s not the
end! After a few hours rest the crews will get back into their cars and head for
the roads in the Côte d’Azur hinterland for a night run punctuated by two special
stages. The finish of the 25th Tour Auto Optic 2ooo will be celebrated in the
night of Saturday/Sunday on the famous Croisette (photo) in Cannes.

EXCEPTIONAL CARS
The 25th Tour Auto will give pride of place to rare and exceptional cars that have left their mark on
the history of this race, which is the oldest one in the world still taking place.
Let’s begin with BMW (official car partner of the Tour Auto Optic 2ooo): a large number of 1600,
2002 TI and Turbo, 2800 CS and 3.0 CSL models will be at the start.
No fewer than 24 Ferraris have been entered including a 250 GT Berlinetta from 1960 (chassis 2129
GT) entered by British duo Adrian Beecroft-Susan Roy, which won the 1960 Tour de France driven by
Willy Mairesse and Georges Berger. Several other remarkable cars from Maranello will take part like
the 225 S of Swiss driver Diego Meier that finished eighth in the 1953 Sebring 12 Hours and a 275
GTB/C with his father Arnold on board: it raced in the 1969 Tour de France Automobile as well as the
Targa Florio in 1966 and 1967. Colin Kolles has entered a 1957 250 GT Tour de France.
The Mk I and Mk II Jaguars won the touring car category in the Tour de France Automobile on
several occasions thanks to the skills of Hermano da Silva Ramos in 1959 and Bernard Consten in
1960, 1961, 1962 and 1963. They will be represented by no fewer than five cars.
Another overall winner, the Ligier JS2, which triumphed in the 1974 event crewed by Gérard
Larrousse-Jean-Pierre Nicolas-Johnny Rives, will also come under starter’s orders.
There are many other spectacular cars to watch out for including eight Shelby Cobras, four Ford
GT40s and 12 E-Type Jaguars including chassis 49 FXN, one of the two Low-Drag models with special
bodywork among the 12 lightweight E-Types produced in 1963.
Porsche will be represented by a wide range of automobiles ranging from the 356 to the 914/6 as
well as the 550 RS Spyder, 904 GTS, 906 and 911 2.0L, 2.4 L ST, 2.5 L ST (with its famous psychedelic
livery), 2.7 RS & 2.8 L RSR models.
Among the Italian entries are numerous Alfa Romeos including a 1900 CSS and a TZ, an Osca MT4
that raced in the 1954 event and a Siata 208 S. Besides several Mustangs, American colours will be
flown by a Nash Rambler, a Plymouth Hemicuda and a Studebaker Champion from 1953.
Other names on the entry list include AC, Alpine, Aston Martin, Austin Healey, Chevrolet, CG, Citroën,
De Tomaso, Fiat, Ford, Jide, Lancia, Lotus, Mercedes, MG, Mini, Morgan, Peugeot, Renault, Simca,
Sunbeam, Triumph and Volvo, which will also be cheered on by the crowd. Rendezvous under the
dome of the Grand Palais on Monday 18th April where the whole field will be on display.
FAMOUS DRIVERS AND CO-DRIVERS!
Ex-Formula 1, rally and endurance drivers, team bosses, TV host and Michelin star chefs are just
some of the drivers entered for the 25th Tour Auto Optic 2ooo. Among of the best known are: Jürgen
Barth, Jochen Mass, Ari Vatanen (road closing car), Guy Fréquelin, François Chatriot (road closing
car), Anthony Beltoise, Gérard Holtz, Michel Chabran, Michel Rostang and Jean-Claude Lacombe.
Jürgen Barth (former works Porsche driver, winner of the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1977 and boss of the
German manufacturer’s competitions department) is down to drive a Porsche 911 3.0 RS (1975).
Jochen Mass had a good career in Formula 1, the highlight of which was his victory in the 1975
Spanish Grand Prix. He then swapped to endurance with success and won the 1989 Le Mans 24
Hours. He will drive a De Tomaso Pantera Gr. IV (1971).
Guy Fréquelin (several times French rally and circuits champion, runner-up in the 1981 Rally World
Championship with Jean Todt as co-driver and former boss of Citroën Sport) also deserves a mention.
He will be at the wheel of a 1974 Porsche 911 RSR 3L replica.

3.8-litre E-Type Jaguar, has returned to defend his title against his usual rival Ludovic Caron (Shelby
Cobra 289) and a few other potential victory contenders including previous winners.

THE TOUR OPEN TO THE AU PUBLIC
The 25th Tour Auto Optic 2ooo will follow the same format as the previous ones. The event has always
made a point of being very close to its public along the route. In each of the overnight towns
enthusiasts can take their families into the paddocks to see the cars competing in the Tour and enjoy
the on–the-spot entertainment.
CIRCUITS AND PARCS FERMÉS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
Since 2010 the public has been able to access all the Parc Fermés on presentation of the official
programme published by Le Point (10 euros at the entrance to the Grand Palais and each Parc Fermé).
The opening hours vary according to the legs (information on www.tourauto.com).
At the Grand Palais the opening hours for the public are: 10:00-17:00
The public will get a free access to the circuits (except at the Paul Ricard, 10€ at the entrance).
19/04: circuit de Dijon-Prenois
20/04: circuit de Bresse
22/04: circuit de Lédenon
23/04: circuit Paul Ricard
THE TOUR VILLAGE: A FESTIVE AND EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
Every year, the village, which is rebuilt in each halt town overnight, welcomes increasingly large crowds
day after day. It is where the entertainment put on by the Tour’s partners can be found starting with
Optic 2ooo, which has been a faithful partner of the event since 2004 under the brand Lissac and since
