The Monte Carlo Rally's fabled night stage above the Côte d'Azur.
Immortalised by the Monte Carlo Rally, the Turini twists up through forest above the Riviera in a tight, technical sequence of hairpins and switchbacks. It is narrow and demanding, with the tarmac changing grip in the trees, a driver's road through and through, best enjoyed unhurried.
