Sinuous Corsican roads pose a different challenge for SWRT on the Rallye de France

The French round of the World Rally Championship, on the Mediterranean island of Corsica, is the second asphalt rally in as many weekends and also the last tarmac outing of the 2008 WRC season. Immediately following Rally Catalunya, it forms the second half of the asphalt double-header as the season nears its finale.
Subaru World Rally Team Principal David Richards commented:
It is perhaps misleading to look at Spain and Corsica as two separate events, because we move from one immediately to the next and it is so important that we continue our learning and progress across both. We learned some good lessons in Spain, and it is vital that we carry these into this coming weekend’s competition to take a step forward with our performance on tarmac."
Based in Ajaccio on the west of the island, the service park sits within the town’s shipping port. Ajaccio and Salou, where the WRC took to the tarmac just last week, face each other from opposing banks of the Mediterranean Ocean.
Coming just days after Rally Catalunya, Corsica’s challenge is also waged on asphalt roads, but winding through the mountainous and beautifully unspoiled countryside, they are of a very different nature.
