Baltic Rally Timer Tour Auto 2026 - Limited Edition – Posts

A true monument to motor sport, the Tour Auto is the historic reincarnation of the Tour de France Automobile, created in 1899 by the Automobile Club de France. It was on this race that some of the finest pages in motor sport were written, seeing prestigious brands such as Ferrari, Porsche, BMW and Jaguar, and legendary drivers like Maurice Trintignant, Stirling Moss, Phil Hill and Bernard Darniche battle it out on open roads.

Taking to France’s most beautiful roads and stopping off at iconic racetracks, it is now the turn of over 290 competing crews to drive across the country in their machines, to the delight of themselves and their spectators.

For the fourth consecutive year, Baltic will take on the role of Official Timekeeper and accompany the competitors from Paris to Biarritz. To mark the occasion, Baltic has created a Rally Timer (stopwatch and dashclock) inspired by the historic colours of the Tour de France Automobile. It will be available in a limited edition of 300 pieces.
