Citroën Racing Achievements

From the first competition department of the brand to Citroën Racing, Citroën teams write a story full of triumphant victories and many sports successes.

Two important records for the brand : 97 victories in WRC and 38 consecutive podiums between the rally of Mexico in 2008 and that of Great Britain in 2010.

Citroën has engaged its first rally-raid vehicles, before an incredible series of FIA WRC titles between 2003 and 2012. After three successful seasons in WTCC, the team has returned to the WRC this year with C3 WRC.
