A few days ago, we set off on the roads of the Tour Auto Optic 2000, one of the most prestigious and impressive automobile events.<\/p>\n
For the 23rd edition of this legendary rally, some 250 crews took to the starting line at the wheel of their classic cars.<\/p>\n
The party began at the Grand Palais on April 7 for the technical and administrative checks, which were open to the general public. The cars then set off for Dijon, Mulhouse (where we joined them), Aix-les-Bains and Valence, finishing in Marseille on April 12. <\/p>\n
Faithful to its values, Optic 2ooo is showcasing its professionalism at every stage of the Tour, offering visual and hearing checks. Resolutely committed to the AFM T\u00e9l\u00e9thon, the company is also appealing to the public’s generosity at the Tour’s stopover towns, with the aim of helping research into genetic eye diseases in particular. <\/p>\n
From the Grand Palais to Marseille<\/strong><\/p>\n On April 7, Europe’s largest glass roof, a true architectural feat, welcomed the 250 racing cars for the technical and administrative scrutineering of the Tour Auto. It was an opportunity for the public to admire the chrome and steel beauties at this ephemeral exhibition, before they set off the following morning for the first stage of the race: Dijon. Competitors then headed for Mulhouse, Aix-les-Bains and Valence, before the final finish in Marseille on April 12. All along the route, the days were punctuated by special stages on closed roads, as well as those on the Dijon-Prenois, Anneau du Rhin, Bresse and Paul Ricard circuits. In Mulhouse, where we joined the pack, we were able to discover the spectacular Cit\u00e9 de l’Automobile<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\t\t
