RELIVE CLASSIC YEARS FROM CORSICA

The Tour de Corse Rally 1984-1991 released on DVD

The legendary sinuous mountain roads of Corsica are home to one of rallying’s fastest and most demanding events, the Tour de Corse. Delivering triumph and tragedy in equal measure, the rally has surprised, delighted and devastated for decades.

Now fans can relive eight classic years from this World Rally Championship event in one action-packed DVD, The Tour de Corse Rally 1984-1991, new from Duke.

This dramatic compilation features almost four hours of archive footage tracing the complete story of every Corsican rally from that era, and the dramatic changes the event brought to the sport.

Didier Auriol’s amazing three wins a row, the unprecedented victory of a privately entered BMW M3, Ford’s first factory WRC win for almost a decade, tooth-and-nail contests settled by just seconds – this DVD is brimming with edge-of-the-seat drama.

The tragedies which marked this period are also remembered, not least the terrible loss in 1986 of Henri Toivonen and co-driver Sergio Cresto in their Lancia Delta S4.

Staggering stage-side camera angles, jaw-dropping aerial footage, interviews with the stars and the chance to ride in-car alongside the legends are all featured as the comprehensive story of eight historymaking years of the Tour de Corse is told.

From the era of the fire-breathing Group B monsters viewers are treated to the glorious sights and sounds of the iconic Lancia 037, Audi Quattro, Metro 6R4, Peugeot 205 T16 and more being pushed to the limit of the long, fast tarmac stages.

After the Group B machines were ruled ‘too fast to race’, the story continues with Group A, and the action is just as thrilling as the Lancia Delta HF Integrale, Toyota Celica GT4 and Ford Sierra Cosworth led the way.

The all-star cast includes legends like Ari Vatanen, Carlos Sainz, Juha Kankkunen, Markku Alen, Miki Biasion, Stig Blomqvist, Bruno Saby, Francois Delecour and British hero Malcolm Wilson.
