A few days from now will see the start of the Corsican edition of the World Rally Championship. After a break of seven years it returns to rekindle it's thirty-five year history of top flight rally car racing on the island. Past winners have included Didier Auriol, Carlos Sainz (snr), Sébastien Loeb and of course the late great Colin McRae who won in 1997 and 1998.
Known as the 'ten thousand bend' rally, due to the tight and twisty terrain, the drivers will cover 333kms of special stages and 984kms in total over four days, 1-4 October. Motor rallying is especially popular with the Corsicans and we will no doubt see large crowds along the route. Lots more detail can be found at the Tour De Corse website.
Hot on the heels of the WRC event is the Tour De Corse Historique running 5-10 October. This rally features some classic cars from motor rallying history including the iconic Lancia Stratos (pass the ear defenders), the Delta Integrale, EscortsRS's, 131 Abarths, Renault 5 Turbos to name a few - there's even a Ford Anglia on the list. For more information about the stages and stops click here TdCH
So a busy couple of weeks for motor rallying here on Corsica which will mean many of the roads will likewise be busier. If you plan to bike ride just check out the links above  before setting out.
