After the stunning presentation of the Ferrari 488 GTB at the Grand Palais in Paris, the Tour Auto is now underway and heading across France towards its final destination, the lovely city of Biarritz. Around 70 Ferraris will take part in the various road and track stages of the Tour. They will include glorious past models of the likes of the extraordinary 250 GTO, several 275 GTBs and the 308, a very rare Ferrari rally car, as well as those from the current range, notably the F12berlinetta, the FF, the California T, and the 458 Speciale. The Tour Auto takes in some of France’s most charming areas, such as Vichy, Clermont Ferrand, and Chateau de Courances, as well as historic circuits of the likes of Magny-Cours and Albi.
