Thierry Neuville

After impressing in the Junior World Rally Championship in 2010, Neuville switched to the Intercontinental Rally Challenge in 2011 driving for Peugeot’s Benelux importer and was part of a five-way battle for the title on the season finale in Cyprus on the back of two victories. He ultimately missed out on the crown but gained some consolation by winning the non-championship Golden Stage Rally.

In 2012, he moved up to WRC and competed in all 13 rounds in a Citroen DS3 World Rally Car. He set 11 fastest stage times, which was an achievement for a first season. He is now returning to Ford products, having started his career in a Fiesta in 2008.
