The Pirelli PZero Tyres face up to the challenge of Corsica

Coming just a few days after the end of the Catalunya Rally in Spain, the next round of the World Rally Championship takes place in Corsica, with the Rally de France-Tour de Corse. This event has always been a landmark in the history of the WRC series, and it is notoriously tough on tyres. The event takes place on abrasive, narrow and sinuous roads that push the rubber to its limits. Nonetheless, Corsica has always been kind to Pirelli: all the victories that have fallen to Scandinavian drivers on the island (two wins for Markku Alen and one for Petter Solberg) have been achieved on the Italian covers.
