The Tour Auto heads east

The second stage of the Tour Auto 2025 was still under the sun. Starting from Dijon, in the middle of the Burgundy vineyards, the peloton reached Mulhouse, and the Parc Fermé located at the Automobile Museum. No doubt this piqued the curiosity of some competitors who will return to visit what is one of the high places of automobile culture in France! Before that, three timed events were on the menu, the first on the roads of the Porte des Vosges. Over twelve winding kilometers, there are Nicolas Caylet and Carlos Dos Reis Pinto who proved to be the most agile, driving their Porsche 911, entered in the Regularity category. In the Competition category, Jérémy Mennechet and Laurent Loubet, aboard their Ferrari 308 Gr.IV Michelotto, finished at the top of the timesheet.

Mennechet and Loubet doubled their lead in Competition on the second timed stage of the day, which took place on the wooded roads of the Firstplan. Once again, it was a Porsche that delivered the best performance in Regularity, this time the 991 2.0L from Martin Soucari and his co-driver Francisco Soucari. There was still one race left to compete in this second leg, and as is often the case, the competitors headed off to a legendary circuit: the Ring of the Rhine.

On a circuit that emphasizes speed and straight lines, we found Olivier Breittmayer and Pierre Sibille are at the forefront in the Competition category. Driving their BMW M1 Procar, they, who had already won the event on the Dijon-Prenois circuit, continue to prove their car's superiority on these fast tracks. This Thursday, they head to Clermont-Ferrand, with three more timed events, the last of which will be held on the Bresse circuit.
