Dear Competitors, Dear Teams, We are delighted to announce that the next edition of the Tour Auto will take place from Sunday, May 3rd to Saturday, May 9th, 2026 — a set of unprecedented dates, chosen to mark a highly anticipated return. Indeed, this 35th edition will open with a particularly symbolic highlight: Tour Auto at the Grand Palais in Paris — an iconic and historic venue, greatly appreciated by many participants and partners alike.In order to preserve this prestigious starting point, we have had to align our schedule with that of the Grand Palais, which explains this later-than-usual calendar.

The rally will run from Tuesday, May 5th to Friday, May 9th, with the traditional closing brunch and awards ceremony on Saturday, May 10th.

After several years of absence, this emblematic setting will once again host the car exhibition on the eve of the start, along with the technical and administrative verifications — a key moment eagerly awaited by all and one that will mark the official kickoff of this new adventure.Over the course of five days, you will traverse some of the most beautiful roads in France, featuring circuit races, closed-road special stages, liaison routes, and a spirit of camaraderie in exceptional settings. 

The precise route, host cities, and circuits will be revealed shortly.As a reminder, Tour Auto is open to cars that participated in the event between 1951 and 1973, with certain exceptions permitted up to 1984, provided the model complies with the historical eligibility criteria established by Peter Auto.We warmly invite you to save the date: May 3rd to 9th, 2026, for what promises to be a truly memorable edition of Tour Auto.We look forward to sharing more information with you very soon.The Peter Auto TeamL'équipe Compétitioncompetition
