The Col de Turini features every year in the Monte Carlo Rally, held in January, as the setting of a 31-kilometre (19 mi) stage.

The stage is run from La Bollène-Vésubie up to the summit of the mountain pass, and descending to Sospel, or the reverse trajectory.

[1] Known for its narrow road with many hairpin turns, the Col de Turini is the technical centrepiece of the rally.

The Col de Turini featured in the first episode of Top Gear series 10 when the presenters intended to search the greatest driving road in the world.

The western side of the col, starting in Lantosque in the Vésubie valley, is 15.3 km with an average gradient of 7.2%.
