Citroën Team (2009–2011)
2009: First WRC Podium and Monte-Carlo Win
In January 2009, Ogier raced in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge. He won the famous Monte Carlo Rally in a Kronos Peugeot 207 S2000.
This was his only IRC race that year. For the 2009 WRC season, Ogier joined Citroën's junior team. He was supposed to race in the first six events. His results would decide if he raced in more. Despite some mistakes, his good driving earned him a full season.
At the Acropolis Rally, Ogier got his first WRC podium. He finished second behind Ford's Mikko Hirvonen.
2010: First WRC Victory
In January 2010, Ogier raced in the Rallye Monte-Carlo again. He drove a Peugeot 207 S2000. He had a great comeback after an early mistake. But he had to stop on the last day due to an alternator problem.
Ogier's 2010 WRC season started in Sweden. He continued with the Citroën Junior Team. His new teammate was Kimi Räikkönen, a former Formula One champion. Ogier finished fifth in Sweden. He got his second podium in Mexico, finishing third. In Jordan, he was second but had to take a time penalty. He still finished sixth. In Turkey, Sébastien led for many stages. But a puncture dropped him to fourth. At the Rally New Zealand, he was leading before the last stage. He spun and lost the win by only 2.4 seconds.
Ogier then got his first WRC victory at the Rally de Portugal. He beat Sébastien Loeb by 8 seconds. He also won Rally della Lanterna in Italy. This helped him gain experience on asphalt roads.
Because of his strong results, Citroën moved Ogier to their main factory team. He replaced Dani Sordo. This was a good move. Ogier finished second in Finland, ahead of Sébastien Loeb. He then got his second WRC win in Japan. He adapted quickly to a rally he had never raced before.
He was only 43 points behind teammate Sébastien Loeb. This meant he still had a chance for the title. However, he only scored nine points in the last three rallies. He finished the season in fourth place.
2011: Official Citroën Driver
Ogier continued to improve in 2011. He joined Citroën's main factory team for the full 2011 season. He replaced Dani Sordo. He was promised equal treatment with Loeb. Fans expected a big battle for the title.
The new DS3 WRC car did not start well in Sweden. However, Ogier (4th) beat Loeb (6th). He also became the first driver to win a Power Stage. Their battle became a duel in Mexico. Ogier was leading on the last day but went off the road. He then won the next two rallies in Portugal and Jordan. He won Jordan by only two-tenths of a second. This was a record for the smallest winning gap. He was 4th in Sardinia. Ogier almost won again in Argentina. He had a big lead but rolled his car. He finished third behind Sébastien Loeb and Mikko Hirvonen.
Ogier won the Acropolis Rally. But his relationship with Sébastien Loeb became difficult. Citroën made some controversial team decisions. This caused tension between the two drivers. Ogier won in Germany after Loeb had a puncture.
In Australia, Ogier made a mistake after Loeb crashed. He climbed back to ninth place. The team then asked him to slow down. This allowed his teammate to score a point. Mikko Hirvonen won the rally and became a serious title contender. Ogier won the Rallye de France Alsace. Loeb retired, and Ogier held off Dani Sordo and Petter Solberg. He was only 3 points behind Loeb and Hirvonen. But Loeb eventually won the title. Ogier finished third in the championship with five wins. His difficult relationship with Citroën led to him leaving the team. He was replaced by Mikko Hirvonen.
Volkswagen Team (2012-2016)
2012: Developing the New Car
On November 23, 2011, Volkswagen announced a three-year contract with Sébastien Ogier. His co-driver Julien Ingrassia also joined. They were chosen to lead Volkswagen's WRC effort, planned for 2013. In 2012, they raced in a Škoda Fabia S2000. They also helped develop the new Polo R WRC car.
Ogier's 2012 season started at Rallye Monte-Carlo. He set good times, but his Škoda Fabia S2000 was slower than the WRC cars. He crashed on the 10th stage. Ogier was not hurt, but his co-driver had a minor injury. Before the crash, Ogier was 6th overall.
In Rally Sweden, Ogier finished 11th. He scored his first points for Volkswagen Motorsport at the Rally Mexico, finishing eighth.
In Sweden and Mexico, he had to clear the roads for other S2000 drivers. This changed at the Rally Portugal. He then regularly scored points and competed against WRC drivers. His best result was fifth place in Sardinia. This was the best result for an S2000 car.
2013: First World Championship Title
While racing in 2012, Sébastien Ogier also did a lot of testing. He helped develop the Volkswagen Polo R WRC car. This car was ready for its first race at the 2013 Rallye Monte Carlo. Despite the car being new and the weather being tricky, Ogier finished second. This was a great start and showed the Polo's potential.
The 2013 season continued with Rally Sweden. Ogier became only the second non-Nordic driver to win this rally since 1950. His win in Sweden was also the first for the Polo R WRC. He also won the Power Stage, taking the lead in the championship. This was just the beginning. Ogier then won in Mexico, winning 16 out of 23 stages. He also won the Power Stage. He did the same in Portugal, finishing over 3 minutes ahead of Mikko Hirvonen.
In Argentina, a handbrake problem caused Ogier to lose time. This cost him the lead. Sébastien Loeb won, but Ogier still got valuable points by finishing second. Bad luck hit again in Greece. A puncture and fuel problem on the first stage ruined his chances. He managed to finish tenth and won the Power Stage.
Sébastien Ogier returned to winning ways in Italy. He beat Thierry Neuville and Jari-Matti Latvala. He led the rally from start to finish for the first time. He also won another Power Stage.
His winning streak continued in Finland. He won his first rally there, winning more than half of the stages. He also broke the record for the famous Ouninpohja stage. With two more points from the Power Stage, he increased his lead.
In Germany, Sébastien Ogier had a chance to win the title. But he broke his front-left suspension. He climbed from 47th to 17th place the next day. He also won another Power Stage. With Thierry Neuville second and Jari-Matti Latvala seventh, Ogier was closer to the title. In Australia, he had a real chance to become champion. He won 19 out of 22 stages. But he lost the title in the last stage. Hirvonen had a puncture, and Neuville took second place. Ogier missed the title by one point.
Sébastien Ogier finally won the 2013 championship in the first stage of Rally France. He ended the season with more wins in France, Spain, and Wales.

2014: Second Consecutive Title
Sébastien Ogier knew defending a title was hard. But his win at the Rallye Monte-Carlo confirmed his strong position in 2014. This legendary rally was part of the WRC again. It was a special moment for the champion. Despite a wrong tire choice on day one, he climbed back to win. The rally even started in his hometown of Gap.
Ogier made a mistake in Rally Sweden. He hit a snowbank while leading and dropped to 20th. But his determination helped him finish 6th. He got his revenge at Rally Mexico. He took the lead early and finished far ahead of his rivals. He also won the Power Stage and regained the championship lead.
Sébastien Ogier increased his lead over his teammate at Rally Portugal. He won the rally and the Power Stage again. This was his fourth win at Rally Portugal. He was getting closer to Markku Alen's record of five wins. Rally Argentina is one of the few rallies Ogier has not won. In tough conditions, he finished second and won the Power Stage. He returned to victory in Italy. He had a difficult first day, clearing the slippery sandy surface. In Poland, he won both the rally and the Power Stage. This gave him a 50-point lead in the championship.
In Finland, Ogier finished second and won another Power Stage. His championship lead stayed the same after Rally Germany. Ogier and Latvala both crashed out. However, Volkswagen knew one of their drivers would win the title. The German team secured the Manufacturers' title in Australia. Ogier won the rally there. His first chance to win the championship failed in Rally France. He had a gearbox problem. Despite losing time, he won the Power Stage. He finally secured his second title in Catalonia. He won the second-to-last event of the season. Ogier became the eighth driver to win a second title. He was the fourth to win two years in a row. Ingrassia was the only French co-driver to win twice.

Volkswagen renewed Ogier's contract.
2015: Third Title in a Row
In 2015, Sébastien Ogier continued with Volkswagen Motorsport. He and Julien Ingrassia won the first event, the Rallye Monte-Carlo. The new Polo R WRC was successful right away. This was true even with Sébastien Loeb making a return.
Ogier won again in Sweden. He won on the very last stage when Andreas Mikkelsen made a mistake. He completed a hat-trick by winning Rally Mexico. This was his fifth win in a row since 2014 Rally Catalunya. It was also his third win in a row in Mexico.
Rally Argentina ended his winning streak. Mechanical problems forced him to stop. He finished 17th but won the Power Stage. He won the Power Stage again at the next rally in Portugal. He finished second overall. He had to clear a very sandy surface. He also lost time with a puncture. But he made an amazing comeback to finish 8.2 seconds behind the winner. This helped him keep his lead in the championship.
Ogier returned to victory in Italy. Hayden Paddon drove very well and led for a long time. But Ogier won on the last day. He also won the Power Stage. He won both the rally and the Power Stage again in Poland. In Finland, he finished second overall. He won another Power Stage (his 7th in a row). He left Finland with an 89-point lead. He led VW to a 1-2-3 finish at Rally Germany. He then won the title at the next event, Rally Australia. Ogier and Ingrassia won all the remaining stages after taking the lead. This was their 31st WRC win and their 3rd title. Volkswagen also won the Manufacturer title.
Rally France was not as lucky. Ogier had a gearbox problem on day one. He got a ten-minute penalty and dropped to 55th. But he finished 12th and won three more stages, including the Power Stage. Sébastien Ogier led Rally Spain for the last two days. But he made a mistake on the very last stage. He crashed into a guardrail and had to stop. He and his co-driver were not hurt. The season ended with a wet Wales Rally GB. The Frenchmen won again. They dedicated their win to the victims of the Paris attacks.
2016: Fourth Consecutive Title
Ogier and Julien Ingrassia continued with Volkswagen Motorsport for the fourth year. Ogier started the season with his third win in a row at Rally Monte-Carlo. He then won Rally Sweden, which was shorter due to a lack of snow. In Mexico, Ogier had to clear very dusty roads. But he still finished second behind Latvala. He also won his third Power Stage in a row. His first place in the championship hurt him in Argentina, where he finished second. The same happened in Portugal and Italy, where he finished third. Rally Poland was even harder, ending with a sixth place. A small mistake in Finland meant he scored no points.
He returned to winning in Germany, Volkswagen's home ground. This was the first full-tarmac rally of the season. The French pair won it for the second year in a row. They managed the changing road conditions very well. Ogier then won in Corsica, leading the rally from start to finish. He was on the top step of the podium again in Spain. He won his fourth world champion title there. His victory at Wales Rally GB brought the Manufacturers' title to Volkswagen for the fourth year in a row.
Soon after this success, Volkswagen announced they were leaving WRC.
M-Sport Ford Team (2017–2018)
On December 12, 2016, Ogier announced he would drive the new Ford Fiesta WRC for M-Sport Ford in 2017.
At the first rally of the championship, Monte-Carlo, Ogier brought M-Sport Ford back to victory. This was their first win since 2012. It was Ogier's 39th career victory. It was also his fifth win at Monte-Carlo, with three different car makers.
The next months had ups and downs. He had two wins and fewer stage victories than before. But he had nine podium finishes. This helped him score points regularly. His second win was at Rally Portugal. He equaled Markku Alén's record of five victories there. He reached 40 career wins. Thanks to his consistent driving, he won his fifth title in a row. He celebrated his success at Wales Rally GB. M-Sport Ford also won the manufacturers' title.
2018 started well but became a tough year for Ogier. He won Monte Carlo and took the lead in the WRC drivers' championship. But a low 10th place in Sweden allowed his rival Thierry Neuville to take the lead. Neuville led the championship for most of the year. Ogier won two more rallies. But he had to stop in Portugal, giving Neuville an advantage.
The second half of the season had mixed conditions. The championship contenders struggled for points, especially in Turkey. A strong win for Ogier in Wales finally broke the tie. He started to gain points back on Neuville. Three wins in a row for Ott Tänak meant the drivers' championship would be decided at the final event in Australia. Ogier stayed positive. He gained an advantage as rivals crashed in muddy conditions. He ultimately won the 2018 WRC Drivers' Championship. Ogier and co-driver Ingrassia successfully defended their titles for the sixth year in a row.
Citroën Return (2019)
On September 28, 2018, it was announced that Ogier and Ingrassia would rejoin the Citroën World Rally Team for 2019. This marked their return to the French team after seven years. Ogier claimed his sixth win in a row at Monte Carlo. This was also Citroën's 100th WRC win. After an early stop in Sweden, he won in Mexico. He also finished on the podium in the next three events.
Despite winning in Turkey, Ogier was not happy with his car during the season. In Spain, he failed to defend his title. He led the first stage, but his C3 WRC had hydraulic problems. Ogier finished eighth in the rally. Ott Tänak secured his first WRC title by finishing second. This meant Ogier's title chances were over.
On November 30, 2019, Ogier told Autosport he planned to leave Citroën for Toyota. He had one year left on his contract. He blamed the team's slow development and lack of communication. Citroën responded by immediately leaving the WRC.
Toyota Gazoo Racing (2020–Present)
2020: Seventh World Title
There were rumors about Ogier retiring. But he signed with Toyota for the 2020 season. He had an option for 2021. The six-time world champion finished second at his home event in Monte Carlo. He also finished on the podium four more times in the shortened seven-event championship. His rival Elfyn Evans led for most of the season. But Evans skidded on ice at the final event in Monza. This happened with only two stages left. Evans waved to Ogier to slow down at the same corner where he had crashed. Ogier later said this saved his car from a similar incident. Ogier and co-driver Ingrassia won their seventh world titles at this event. His former teammate Jari-Matti Latvala became Team Principal at Toyota in 2021.
2021: Eighth World Title
In 2021, Ogier continued his contract. But he announced plans to retire at the end of the season. He started the season as the six-time defending winner in Monte Carlo. He won his seventh Monte Carlo rally. This was also his 50th career victory. The next month, he had a poor performance in the snowy 2021 Arctic Rally Finland. He crashed near the end of stage eight, losing almost 10 minutes. He won in Croatia, Italy, Kenya, and Monza. He finished third in Portugal and Greece. He earned his eighth title over teammate Elfyn Evans.
2022: Selected Rallies
Ogier had planned to retire at the end of 2021. But he decided to compete in selected events of the 2022 season. Benjamin Veillas became Ogier's new co-driver. Julien Ingrassia, who had been with Ogier since 2005, retired.
The new Rally1 hybrid era started well for Ogier. His first event was the 2022 Monte Carlo Rally. He fought with Sebastien Loeb throughout the event. He took the lead on SS10. But a puncture on the second-to-last stage dropped him to 2nd. He then competed in 2022 Rally de Portugal. He had an early puncture and later went off the road. He finished 50th. In 2022 Safari Rally, he was leading. But a puncture dropped him from 1st to 6th. He managed to come back to 4th. This gave Toyota its first 1-4 finish. He later competed in 2022 Rally New Zealand. He finished 2nd behind the new champion Kalle Rovanperä.
Sebastien Ogier won the 2022 Rally Catalunya (World Rally Championship). This was Veillas's first win as a co-driver. He then hired a new co-driver, Vincent Landais, for 2022 Rally Japan. He had a puncture on the second stage but came back to 4th.
Sebastien Ogier finished 6th in 2022 with 97 points.
2023: More Wins
Ogier decided to continue racing in selected events in 2023. Vincent Landais remained his co-driver. Ogier's first event was the 2023 Monte Carlo Rally. He led from start to finish and won the rally for the ninth time. This made him the most successful driver in the event's history. He also won 2023 Rally Mexico.
