The most famous French historic rally will be back in 2009 on one of the most mythical track, the Montlhéry Autodrome. The first special race of the 2009 Tour Auto will take place on the 12,5 km routier on April 21st.
For ten years this historic rally had been away from the Autodrome.
The Tour de France had been a regular user of the track before WWII. Between 1956 and 1960 several races took place at Montlhéry and in 1959 the Jaguar MKI began its long string of victories in the French race.
With the 2009 Tour Auto Optic 2000 the Linas-Montlhéry track will again welcome an international event. Together with Le Mans Classic, the Ronde du ventoux and the Historic Grand Prix de Pau, Peter Auto is doing its best to revive the memory of French automobile sport.
