Tour de Corse zero car for legend Vatanen

Rallying legend Ari Vatanen will drive the route opening ‘zero’ car on Tour de Corse E.Leclerc this week.

The 61-year-old from Finland, who won the world rally title in 1981 and claimed four victories on the gruelling Dakar Rally, will drive a Peugeot 207 RC Rallye.

His son, Max, will navigate over the 14 stages that make up the third round of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge.

Their job is to complete a final check of the stages and any potential hazards a few moments ahead of the first competing cars.

Peugeot France and the company’s network of French dealers were responsible for securing the services of the Vatanens.
