33nd TROPHY IN CORSICA
TOUR OF CORSICA
The ultimate rally destination, Corsica is a dream destination for all sports car enthusiasts.
From the afternoon of Thursday, October 15, 2026, through Monday morning, October 19, starting and finishing on the mainland (Toulon), RALLYSTORY offers you three full days in Corsica to discover or rediscover the wonderful roads of the “Island of Beauty” along the routes of the legendary Tour de Corse, during a season when the tourists have left and the weather is still mild—simply for the pleasure of driving or cruising carefree…
LEGENDARY ROUTES AND PRESTIGIOUS STOPOVERS
The 2026 edition of the TROPHÉE EN CORSE will be unlike any before it. Indeed, in its 32-year history, this is the first time the rally will arrive in Propriano and make successive stops in Porto-Vecchio and then L’Île-Rousse.
The rally route begins in the southeast of the island at the port of Propriano, sheltered at the head of the Gulf of Valinco. From the very first kilometers, participants will tackle the winding roads of the Alta Rocca region. The Ferme Auberge de Pignata will offer a chance to sample authentic local produce during the first lunch. In the afternoon, the rally will cross over to the east coast via the Bavella Pass and its famous “Needles” (*Aiguilles de Bavella*). After driving along the *Côte des Nacres*—home to well-preserved Genoese towers—the rally will arrive in Porto-Vecchio for the first night in Corsica.
The following day, the route heads toward the center of the island, passing through the Inzecca Defile, the spectacular Scala Santa Regina gorges, and the Niolo Valley—an area renowned for its cured meats and… its bandits.
Lunch is scheduled at high altitude at the Vergio Pass, which sits at over 1,400 meters above sea level. We will then return to the west coast, driving along the stunning coastal roads overlooking the Gulf of Girolata en route to L’Île-Rousse for the second night.
Finally, the last day takes you through the Balagne region before a full tour of the magnificent Cap Corse. You will enjoy lunch in the picturesque little port of Centuri—famous for its seafood specialties—before heading back down to Bastia, keeping close to the coast, to board your return ferry. Alternatively, you might choose to extend your stay on the “Island of Beauty” using the open ferry ticket included with your registration.
For every leg of the journey, we have selected the finest routes—chosen for their excellent road surfaces and the sheer driving pleasure they offer—along with the best spots to discover Corsican cuisine.
RESERVED FOR “GENTLEMEN DRIVERS”
Open to all post-war sports cars—with priority given to models over 30 years old—the TROPHEE EN CORSE also welcomes modern GTs.
On the roads of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful island, RALLYSTORY offers “gentleman drivers” three days of pure automotive passion,
with no restrictions regarding drivers or vehicle competition homologation.
The best addresses for the rally
PIGNATA FARM INN
Nestled in the heart of the Alta Rocca mountains—on the way to the Cucuruzzu archaeological sites and just 10 minutes from the village of Levie—lies a serene haven set amidst lush greenery. Here, in an atmosphere of absolute tranquility, you will discover the authentic charm of a family-run establishment where you are welcomed like one of the family. Corsican specialties crafted from farm-fresh produce have made this venue a true gastronomic institution in the south of the island.
GULF OF GIROLATA
Participants will travel along one of the most beautiful coastal roads—offering breathtaking views of the Gulf of Girolata (a village accessible only by sea or on foot)—as they make their way from Porto to the Balagne region and L’Île-Rousse, the stopover town for the second night.
BAVELLA PASS
An emblematic location on the Corsican coast, the passage between the pink granite rocks is unmissable. The view is magical. It is also on this section of road overlooking the sea that one of the most challenging special stages of the Tour de Corse is traced.
PORT OF CENTURI
Among Corsica’s most picturesque harbors, Centuri—located at the far northwest tip of Cap Corse—is renowned for its fishing, particularly for spiny lobster. It makes for a unique lunch spot; weather permitting, the terrace at Le Vieux Moulin offers the perfect setting to enjoy local fish, not to mention their famous homemade fish soup.
INZECCA GORGE
Dévalant les pentes du massif du Monte Renoso pour se tailler un chemin jusqu’à la Plaine orientale et la Méditerranée, le fleuve Fiumorbo a créé deux magnifiques
et impressionnantes gorges, qui font partie des plus spectaculaires de la Corse : le défilé des Strette et le défilé de l’Inzecca. S’étirant sur plus de 13 kilomètres, ces canyons offrent des paysages extraordinaires que l’on peut admirer en parcourant l’étroite et sinueuse route au départ de Ghisoni. Sensations garanties !
CAP CORSE
The road winding through this wild peninsula in the north of the island keeps you constantly close to the sea. The east coast differs from the west, and the interplay of light—shifting throughout the day and with every bend in the road—creates a magnificent spectacle. It is also an opportunity to reach the village of Baracaggio for the first time; located at the northernmost tip of Corsica, it sits directly opposite the Île de la Girelle.
5 850 €
Impeccable behavior on the road will be required of participants.
The roads are open to traffic, so the Highway Code must be scrupulously respected, and participants’ attitude toward other users or participants must be exemplary. Those who do not come in this spirit are not welcome and risk being excluded from this event reserved for enthusiasts.

TOWARDS CARBON-NEUTRAL EVENTS
For several years, we have been taking steps to reduce the environmental footprint of our events. We are proud to announce that, after measuring our carbon footprint with ECOACT, implementing a policy to reduce our emissions, and participating in the financing of carbon offset projects to match our emissions, RALLYSTORY has contributed to achieving carbon neutrality for its rallies. This approach is a first, still imperfect, step towards the goal of Net Zero emissions.
