03 Oct 2018|1,161 views
10 years ago, at the 2008 Wales Rally GB, Sebastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia, then the newly-crowned Junior World Rally Champions, made a stunning debut in the C4 WRC as they won the opening test, claiming their first WRC stage win in the process.
With the 2018 edition of the British round next up on the calendar, the timing could not be better to announce the return of the five-time world champions (2013 to 2017) to Citroen Total Abu Dhabi WRT, the team where it all began. In fact, it was in Citroen overalls that the two Frenchmen claimed their first world title in the Junior class, in the C2 Super 1600, and their first WRC stage win.
Set on the challenge of becoming world champion with a third different marque, which also boasts a great history in world rallying, Sebastien is convinced by the potential of the car and the determination of a team that he knows well. Driven by their mutual desire to work together again, they are looking forward to adding to a joint record that already features seven overall wins.
Just before the start of the 2018 Paris Motor Show, where the C3 WRC will be on display, the reunion of the French crew and team is great news for fans, who are undoubtedly already looking forward to the start of next season at the 2019 Rallye Monte-Carlo.
