Known as the “Rally of 10,000 Corners,” the 1971 Tour de Corse lived up to its reputation with an unforgiving course of relentless tarmac twists and hairpins across the mountainous island of Corsica. With barely a moment of straight-line speed, it was a true test of concentration, rhythm, and tire management.
The rally was concentrated in the northern half of the island, winding through mountainous inland villages and coastal ridgelines near Bastia and Corte.
Precision mattered more than power, and any lapse in rhythm could lead to lost seconds—or retirement.
Larrousse’s mastery of high-speed braking and tire conservation allowed the powerful Porsche to edge out more agile rivals on a course known for punishing oversteer and brake fade.
The 1971 Tour de Corse was a masterclass in control and consistency—qualities that Larrousse and the Porsche 911 S delivered in every corner of Corsica’s relentless rally course.
