The 2014 Tour de Corse was the 11th and final round of the 2014 European Rally Championship season, held on the island of Corsica from 7–9 November 2014.
The title fight was meant to go down to the wire between Škoda teammates Esapekka Lappi and Sepp Wiegand. A fire following a crash during testing made Lappi champion by default.[1]
Lappi, was pleased to have been crowned the newest European Rally Champion before the event had started, and hoped to add to his tally of wins. This did not come to fruition, with the Finn crashing out of Stage 6,[2] ending his participation in the rally.
Ex-Formula 1 driver Stéphane Sarrazin led the majority of the rally,[3] having won most of the stages to take a dominating win, ahead of his compatriot Bryan Bouffier. It was the second time that year that a Formula One driver had won in ERC, as Robert Kubica had won the season-opening Internationale Jänner Rallye.
Vitaliy Pushkar was crowned ERC Production Cup champion after the withdrawal of his nearest rivals Keith Cronin and Martin Hudec. Andrea Crugnola won the Junior class but this was not enough to stop Stéphane Lefebvre from clinching the title, while Zoltán Bessenyey retained the 2WD title. Eric Camilli also received the McRae Flat Out Award for the first time.
