Our journey across the south of France starts on Monday morning, with a route that takes in the iconic Route Napoleon, the stunning Gorges du Verdon, the twisty clifftop roads of the Col de Vaumale and the beautiful Corniche d’Or coastal road.
Our Autocar readers will be at the wheel of some amazing cars – the Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG, the Audi RS3, the Jaguar I-PACE, the Ford Mustang GT, the Porsche Boxster and the BMW M240i. And, on the way, we’ll be learning a lot about what makes Continental’s ultra-high-performance tyres tick.
So, make sure you check back here on Monday morning to follow all the action.
