The 25th edition of the Tour Auto took place 18th-24th April in France and was again won by Jean Pierre Lajournade and co-driver Christophe Bouchet in his Jaguar E-Type 3.8. Lajournade’s win is his second consecutive win in the Jaguar, and builds on his success of 1st in 2015 and 2nd in 2014.

The route covered some 2000km between Paris and Cannes and takes in a variety of road, track and hill climb challenges. For this special anniversary edition a night stage was also added for the first time.
