Tour Auto 2020
After a lengthy delay due to the global pandemic, the 29th edition of the Tour Auto finally got under way from the Grand Palais in Paris at the end of August. Over the course of a week the participants covered almost 2000 km racing through the French countryside to a finish at the Paul Ricard Circuit.
In the competition category, Raphaël Favaro clinched his third consecutive victory, this time driving a 1962 3.8-litre E-Type Jaguar. His previous victories had been at the wheel of a Lotus Elan. In the regularity category the father-son duo of Jean-François and François Nicoules were on the top step of the podium driving a Ford Mustang. Between them they had already racked up three victories on the Tour Auto (Jean-François’ first win in 2012 and victories together in 2013 and 2015).
