French Sebastian Ogier (Toyota Yaris) cemented a place in history Rally of PortugalBy strengthening a successful position from time to time, with seven successes, the Fin mark is two more than Allen.
The record belongs to him since last year, after tried to leave with a shiny Finn in the last century, finally reached, and finally reached the world champion part -time reform.
Since the end of 2021, after the eighth world title, the 41 -year -old French person, born in the gap, has changed to hand over the full -time pilot profession to the family, occasionally appearing Ralis World (WRC).
From that moment to, A total of nine wins.
After failing in the Portuguese race in 2023 last year, five times (2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2014 and 2017) returned to a race who won, finally defeated Mark Allen (1975, 1977, 1981 and 1987).
2nd most successful pilot in Ogier discipline
Ogier, who won for Toyota, already won by Ford, Vidywalu and Citrion, and the second most successful pilot in discipline, the second champion (Volkswagen, Ford and Toyota) (1987 and 1991) and Toyotia (1991) and Toyota (1991).
Gaul Corridor Couldn’t champion with Citroyen.
However, the marriage with the French brand did not result and the divorce ated and exchanged double Chevran for Japanese Toyota, in which he left the newly champion Oat Tonac.
A long distance from the shadow of the indigenous, Ogier is separated by an easy deal and sympathyEqualizing skills in driving. He was married to German Television Presenter, with her eight -year -old son, and he had an important support in his family.
For her he left the World Cup in full time, so he could attend more and take her son to school. However, in 2024, with three wins, it entered the fight for the title, even three rounds (Sweden, Kenya and Poland) failed, eventually playing the last six races of the championship, which ended in fourth place.
Gaul Pilot, a gymnast in his teens, explained that “one reason for leaving the World Cup is to spend more family time.” Another, fulfilling the dream of running in the 24 -hour Le Mans in 2022, he finished the ninth of the total 13th and LMP2.
The start of the journey
The love of competition began to look at the changes of the Monte Carlo Rally, which literally crossed the door. He served as a mechanic and skiing instructor before seeing the gates of the rally to create a competitive car manufacture.
Talent capture proof decided to sign up a day, as the team I worked was already participating in the Junes rally. How much is enough to start history.
So the World Cup is a ‘Passinho’ He landed in the Citroen Junior squad in 2009. He reached the first victory of the next year, strictly in Portugal, and surprised the then uncontrolled lobe.
Sitrion officials in Algarve led to the second part of the 2010 championship to keep the official car in the hands of his young student and Ogier did not disappoint, and finished second in Finland’s difficult rally in Japan.
In 2011, he won five races and won in Portugal, but finished third in the World Cup. Co -living with Loyeb was not peaceful and Ogier left Sitroen at the end of this season, making him feel that he would never be a champion when the indigenous team was in the team.
Ogier bet on Volkswagen and the RWRC Polo, which will only be officially entered in the next time, leading to participation in the 2012 steering wheel, which has a fifth result in Italy.
Volkswagen entry
Volkswagen’s entry into the World Cup in 2013 was not further successful, and Ogier won nine of the 13 races, and benefited from the fact that Loib was involved in ‘Part Time’, which was still imposed on both of him.
In the next three years, Ogier and Volkswagen, in 2014, 2015 and 2016, looked for an M-Sport until the French man was surprised by the German brand, and chose the M-Sport, always chosen to the indigenous Julian Ingracia.
Since there was no chance of evolution, he returned to Citroyen in 2019 and had no benefit. As he ended his career, he went to Toyota, the orphanage of Tanak, to be freed from his deal with French.
In 2021 he won the eighth world title, which is one of the Loib record. This pandemic led to postponement of the idea of the natural gap pilot rebuilding, initially planned in late 2020, restored for another year with the Japanese team.
However, the possibility of equalizing the success and record of the eighth title did not change Ozier ideas.
Since 2022, it has performed tremendous performances in the rally World Cup and has been successful. Like this Sunday, in the 58th edition of the rally of Portugal, it is worth a place in history, and it is 63rd of his career.
