Tick-tock, tick-tock... The 24th edition of the Tour de Corse Historique (October 5-12) is fast approaching. It's time to unveil the list of 383 entrants.
With no WRC event on the island for five years, it is the responsibility of the Tour de Corse Historique to keep alive “the rally with 10,000 turns,” its roads, its drivers, and the cars that have made it legendary.
This heritage is showcased on a partly new 1,000-kilometer route and in a field of 383 cars representing 35 brands—both active and defunct. This year, special tribute is paid to Lancia, with a focus on its iconic Group B model, the 037, of which four examples will be gathered. Proof of the ever-growing enthusiasm for the event, it took just twelve hours on January 13th to reach the registration limit. Among the expected competitors, some are coming from afar, such as American hero John Buffum (Ford Escort RS 2000) and former Formula 1 driver Jos Verstappen (Porsche 911 Carrera RS).
