Starting out from Paris the day after the amazing gathering at the Grand Palais, where the LaFerrari was shown to the French public for the first time, the Tour Auto caravan headed for Le Mans, before wending its way onto Orleans, Magny-Cours, Vichy, Albi and Limoges, before ending up at the port of La Rochelle. On the whole two thousand kilometre route, over a hundred thousand fans turned out to cheer on those taking part in the event, which this year was sponsored by Scuderia Ferrari partner, Hublot.
The British crew of Andrew Beverley and Mike Humphreys had every cause to be happy, as they won the Group 1 category in their 308: even if this is an event where the pleasure lies in taking part, how can anyone at the wheel of a Ferrari not feel obliged to try and win!
