Tour Auto 2020 - Competition - Index of Performance

The winner of the Index of Performance was this 1954 Porsche 356 PreA 1500
crewed by Gilles COURAUDON/Marielle COURAUDON.
The car is seen here in Gien as it drives alongside the Loire river.

There were lots of different marques and models represented in the top twenty of this year's Tour Auto Index of Performance.  With a coefficient of performance decided by the age of the car and its cubic capacity, the cars time in the event is multiplied by the coefficient to decide who does best in the index.  Thus a Mini can battle it out with Ferraris and Porsches and many teams have a chance of top twenty position.  Here are eleven of them.

Lovely to see a Ferrari come second in the Index of Performance.  It was achieved by this 1952 Ferrari  225S Vignale Berlinetta crewed by Diego MEIER/Giacomo AMOROSO

Third was this 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce crewed by 
Jean-Yves BEAUPIGNY/Géraud DUMESNE

Fourth was Fabrice QUESNEL/Richard BRULLE in this
1960 Jaguar Mk II 3,8L

First car past us and fifth in the Index of performance was a car I don't think I have ever seen before. 
It was a 1955 Pichon Parat Dolomites.  The crew was Hugo BALDY/Romain GRABOWSKI.
