In this year of the Paris Olympics, the glamour of the 33rd edition of the Tour Auto has not dimmed thanks to a western route that officially started from a century-old temple of the motor car, the Linas-Montlhéry autodrome, and finished in an imperial city, Biarritz. The next edition, to which this Paris-Biarritz 2024 has already given a great boost, is already looming on the horizon. The event showcased prototypes designed a priori for roads like those of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but which dared to tackle the rally special stages run on our French roads, at times as narrow as the landscapes discovered were grandiose!
