Tour de Corse Historiques
What promises to be one of the best special stage historic rallys of the 2008 season, the Tour de Corse will take place in the “arrière saison” on the “beautiful island” (as the Greeks called it) on October 1-5. With at least four special stages per day of 10kms or more – the longest is nearly 30kms – the Tour will this year start in Bastia and go south to Porto Vecchio via some of the classic 1000 virages stages, then on to Porto on day two. Passing through Corté, deep inland and capital of the island, the third day will take competitors back down to the sea to Ile Rousse. The last day offers a loop back to Ile Rousse and two long stages including a 28km stage along the sea into Calvi.
There is also a popular regularity category for those who do not want to flat-out race. In 2007 our correspondent said it was, “an exceptional challenge in the world of historic rallying”, and not to be missed.
