The Corsicans are particularly attached to their inheritance and the Tour de Corse Historique forms an integral part of it.

In the Tour de Corse Historique, the ways to victory always pass the roads to hell. The various winners of the Tour de Corse Historique can certainly testify this.

Corsica was formed as an island through volcanic explosions and is known as the most mountainous island in the Mediterranean. Corsica is only 183 kilometres long at longest, 83 kilometres wide at widest and has 1,000 kilometres of coastline. The course consists of a thousand kilometers and some 10.000 turns which must be firmly anchored in the drivers’ collective memory, which probably explains why they appreciate the Tour de Corse so much. The route passes more than 120 cities and villages on the French island.

Since the first edition in 2001, the Tour de Corse Historique has brought together the most beautiful cars, which were on the scene since the creation of the world manufacturers championship in 1973. Porsche 911, Lancia Stratos, Renault Alpine, Ferrari, Simca and many others, they are all there.

The islanders are particularly attached to their inheritance and the Tour de Corse forms an integral part of it. The moments of intense emotion when these machines, maintained to perfection, pass the crowds leaves no doubt. Hundreds of curious people flock together in the paddocks when the cars are brought in for their technical checks. With an average temperature of 22 degrees in October, circumstances are ideal for both drivers and audience.
