About the Citroën DS19 Tour de Corse 1963

Thanks to its hydropneumatic suspension, the Citroën DS was a surprisingly competitive rally car throughout the 1960s.

History and trivia

The DS won stages as demanding as the Morocco Rally and the Tour de Corse itself, notorious for its relentless, twisting mountain roads. Its hydropneumatic suspension, able to hold ride height and weight distribution even with a puncture or on rough surfaces, gave it an unusual stability advantage for the era over more conventional rivals.
