80 crews set to start the Rallye de France-Tour de Corse - 26 in WRC cars; 17 in JWRC.

The organisers of the Rallye de France-Tour de Corse published the official entry list for their event on Tuesday, the thirteenth round in the 2008 FIA World Rally Championship.

In total 80 crews are due to start in Corsica, with all the manufacturer teams in action, bar the Munchi's World Rally Team.

In addition to the usual 'works' entries there will also be another 12 runners in privately entered WRC cars, including Andreas Mikkelsen, Mads Ostberg and Britain's Gareth Jones.

Of the rest, only two of the 17 regular Junior World Rally Championship runners have not nominated this event to score points on - namely Francesco Fanari and Shaun Gallagher.

There will also be two 'wild cards' up for points in the J-WRC with Pierre Campana entered in a Renault Clio R3 MAXI and Pierre Marche in a Suzuki Swift.

Of the remaining 37 runners, six will battle it out for the N4 win, including P-WRC front runner, Juho Hanninen, while seven have opted to enter the round under the N3 class, one in N1 and 23 in Group A (eight in A7 and 15 in A6 cars).
