Citroën DS3 WRC n°18 – Thierry Neuville / Nicolas Gilsoul
Thierry Neuville made his mark in the 2009 Citroën Racing Belux Trophy. The following year he raced in the Junior World Rally Championship in a Citroën C2 Super 1600 winning his category in the Bulgarian Rally. In parallel, the Belgian took part in his first IRC events. Last season in this championship he gave a glimpse of his potential by winning the Tour of Corsica and the Sanremo Rally, and was in the running for the title till the very last round.
Nicolas Gilsoul inherited a family passion and he began his career as co-driver in historic rallies. He very quickly became one of the rising stars following in the footsteps of a long line of great Belgian navigators. He teamed up with Thierry Neuville in 2011. The programme in the World Rally Championship with the Citroën DS3 WRC will enable him to make his debut at the top level of the sport.
