Racing cars, twisty roads and Mediterranean sunshine, what a brilliant recipe, one that can be found on the Rally of Mallorca which we covered last year, and we will be covering again this year.  It isn't the only island based rally to happen in the med, given that a number of families are planning their holidays at this time of year we thought it might be worth suggesting you head to Corsica in October, there isn't really a need to tell your nearest and dearest that there is a historic rally on...

The Tour de Corse Historique is a five day event held on the French island of Corsica, like it's Balearic brethren it has that magical mix of small picturesque towns, great coast roads and awesome cars.  Run from the 5th to 10th of October this year the rally attracts all sorts of machinery, from high end classic Porsches and Ferraris, to Simcas and Escorts.  The main website for the event challenged our school boy French, but it appears that they do complete packages including hotels, or at least have partners that do.

What you really want though is to see what your buying before you get your flights and hotels, luckily we can help you out there, first up have a look at this thread on the French Forum Auto for photographs from the last few years, we've beamed you into 2010, but you can head back through the thread for some previous events.  The official website also has a great selection of pictures.  For moving pictures you can have a look at this news report.

Our favourite clip is this one which really gives a fans eye view of events



You've got plenty of time to plan, but now might be the right time to suggest that end of year short break in Europe to the family ...
