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.

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: PARISBEAUNE (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: BEAUNELYON (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: LYONVALENCE (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: VALENCEMARSEILLE (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: MARSEILLECANNES (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.

Colin Kolles has entered a 1957 250 GT Tour de France.

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.

Gerard Lopez formerly at the head of the Lotus F1 team will also be at the start in a 1980 Gr IV Ferrari 308.
