Historical Background: Porsche at the Tour de Corse

Regarded by drivers of the 1950s and 60s as one of the most challenging and prestigious events on the calendar, the 1,300-kilometer Tour de Corse on the island of Corsica was known as the "rally of 10,000 corners." The tight, tortuous circuit was ideally suited to the lightweight, nimble cars produced by Porsche, and in 1960, they would claim their first victory in the grueling event with the potent 356B 1600GS Carrera GT in the hands of Herbert Linge and Paul-Ernst Strahle.
