The 1978 Tour de Corse (also known as the 22º Tour de Corse - Rallye de France) was the 10th round of the sixth World Rally Championship season, and the 18th in the Cup for Rally Drivers. It took place on November 4 and 5 in the County of Corsica in France, and the rally was run primarily on the road. Bernard Darniche repeated his 1977 win with co-driver Alain Mahé, again driving a Fiat 131 Abarth - as did second-place finisher Jean-Claude Andruet and third-placed Sandro Munari.[1]
