Rally of Corsica: the raid of Corsican pilots !

Unbeatable on their land, the Corsican pilots have once again proven that they are masters at home. Michel Marchini (Honda 450 HM) wins the 5th Corsica Rally ahead of two other island drivers for a podium with the heads of the Moors !

The rain comes to the 5th Corsica rally

While the Sarthe rally had been unusually sunny (read), it was the rain that greeted this fifth rallye de Corse 2011.

A big bravo, however, to the seriousness and competence of the organizers of JMP Racing, thanks to whom the Corsican event of the French Rally Championship can be considered one of the most beautiful and best organized in the discipline..

Although affected by the assassination of Marie-Jeanne Bozzi, the former mayor of Porticcio killed last Thursday by gunshot who had helped to launch this Corsican rally, the organizers were able to carry out this fifth edition..

The provisional program of the race, relatively modest, will be fully respected:

• Daytime event: a 118 km Porticcio / Porticcio loop to be done twice over its entire distance and once shortened to 85 km

• Night test: the shortened day loop to be covered twice

• Two stages per loop: Coti Chiavarri (7 km) and Pont de la Pierre (3 km)

The route is still as superb and varied as ever, with a very technical section of the link linking Coti Chiavarri to the Pont de la Pierre in which the average 60 km / h has been revised downwards and set at 55 km / h for the complete rally..
