Tour de Corse - Rallye de France 1978 eWRC-results.com 2013-06-29 Report In 1978, the Tour de Corse in Corsica was the penultimate race of the World Rally Championship. The race was held across ten stages, with Jean-Claude Andruet winning four of them. Andruet led the rally until the ninth stage. As usual, most of the top finishers (9 out of the top 10) were from France. Triumph had mounted a significant effort this year, with two TR7 V8s driven by Tony Pond and Jean-Luc Thérier, but both had to retire before the first two special stages were over after the transmission oil plugs fell out of both the cars.
