We've heard of endurance testing before, but we've never heard of engineers entering their latest steed in one of the most gruelling races on the planet. So CAR Online reader Alex Hild's shots of the new baby Rolls-Royce Ghost at the Tour de France raised a wry smile in CAR HQ.Alex caught the 2010 Ro
lls Ghost on Mont Ventoux in the south of France, two days before the race arrived. You can see a short video clip Alex scored at the foot of this page.'I was extremely surprised to see the Rolls on top of a mountain in southern France but I was also surprised at the lack of interest everybody had for the Ghost,' Alex told us. 'I was the only one running after it and taking pictures, however the people there were probably more interested in biking than cars. The driver spotted me taking pictures and his facial expression wasn't exactly joyful!'It looks rammed on that mountain pass. Hardly a subtle test location!Indeed not. At least Rolls' engineers had taken some precautions to 
disguise the new Ghost (although not as a pushbike).
