Citroen Motorsport Data

Citroën boasts a formidable and diverse legacy in motorsport, marked by dominant performances across multiple disciplines, most notably in the World Rally Championship (WRC), cross-country rallying, and touring car racing. The brand etched its name in history with its WRC program, which became a powerhouse in the early 2000s. Its legendary partnership with driver Sébastien Loeb resulted in an unparalleled nine consecutive driver's titles from 2004 to 2012. Piloting iconic machines like the Xsara WRC, C4 WRC, and DS3 WRC, Citroën Racing also secured eight manufacturer's championships, establishing itself as one of the most successful teams in the sport's history with over 100 event victories. Before its WRC supremacy, Citroën showcased its off-road prowess by conquering the grueling Dakar Rally multiple times in the 1990s with the robust ZX Rallye-Raid. The manufacturer later translated its competitive spirit to circuit racing, entering the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) and achieving immediate, overwhelming success with the C-Elysée WTCC, capturing both driver's and manufacturer's titles for three consecutive years from 2014 to 2016. This consistent success, from desert dunes to tarmac circuits and gravel stages, underscores Citroën's commitment to engineering excellence and has cemented its reputation as a true giant in the world of motorsport.
