Tour de Corse Historique 2011
Report and photography by Alain Raymond
While vacationing on the beautiful island of Corsica, I stumbled upon the 11th edition of the Tour de Corse Historique,
running from île Rousse in the North, to Porto-Vecchio in the South, via Porto and Propriano and back to Île Rousse. Aptly
named in French “Île de Beauté”, Corsica was the scene of fi rst Tour de Corse in 1956. Th e event became part of the World
Rally Championship from 1973 to 2008 and was known as the “10,000 Turns Rally” because of the incredibly twisty - and
sometimes dangerous - mountain roads of the island.
Th is year’s Tour de Corse Historique was scheduled for 160 cars, but 200 cars took the start and a waiting list had to be
drawn by the organisers, pointing to the growing popularity of this retro rally.
Yours truly was one of the fortunate spectators at the arrival in Porto-Vecchio, mingling with the crowd, the drivers and the
support crews, surrounded by some 200 historic cars. Le paradis as we would say in French.
