    Tour the Corse also under threat?

    More rumours on foreign forums.
    Who can confirm this rumours?
    But where smoke is, there is also fire.
    Without the support of both Corsican departments also the Tour the Corse have been doomed to disappear.
    This rally become also the victim of the money sigh of the FIA.

    Well, not quite, but WRC has to put a new dress on. That´s for sure. And much will happen very soon. I´m sure about that.

    You (FIA) absolutely have to do something radical when these dark cloudes are coming up the sky.

    For me I think very much depends on costs that are very much high because of many VIP: s can live a luxury life on the events and to feed the FIA themselves. If cost are cut down even FIA should make moves to bring down their own costs.

    Hope NORF is standing outside these troubles, being the best round in the WRC.

    Tour de Corse is no longer under any threat.

    The 2008 edition was simply the last Corsica Rally of the WRC era.

    From now on, the Limousin Rally organizers are on the list to replace the Corsica round.
    But there seems to be several issues linked to environment problems, budgets, etc...

    Tour de Course is not included in the 2009 calendar, so for what championship should the Limousin rally replace the Tour de Course?
    The rally is on the roll for the 2010 championship, but it is stil unclear if it will be a normal ful year championship or a winter championship

    WRC 2010

    Limousin would then replace Corsica which was provisionally due to be run on October 2010.
