2014 Tour Auto Optic 2ooo – 5 Days of Flat Out Driving
One of the best driving events in the Europe is the Tour Auto Optic 2ooo which has five days of flat out driving on the most desirable roads and tracks.
The 2014 event begins with Checks & Scrutineering at the Grand Palais in Paris then has road and circuit legs down to Marseille in the south of France.
Like year’s previous, the entry list is stacked with one of the top cars being the 1962 Ferrari 250 GT ‘Breadvan’ which has been historically raced in anger over the last few years.
Our feature of the Tour Auto Optic 2ooo includes a gallery page with highlights from the event. We will update it as the tour progresses.
