Thierry Jean Neuville (born 16 June 1988) is a Belgian rally driver. He competes in the World Rally Championship (WRC) for Hyundai Motorsport. Thierry has been a runner-up five times (2013, 2016–2019). In 2024, he won his first WRC drivers' world title. This made him the first Belgian to win this championship. He also helped Hyundai win their first team titles in 2019 and 2020. His current co-driver is Martijn Wydaeghe.

Thierry Neuville was born in St. Vith, Belgium. He began his rally career in 2007. Between 2009 and 2011, he raced in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge. He also made his WRC debut in 2009 at the Rally Catalunya. In 2010, he competed in the Junior World Rally Championship. His good results led him to join the Citroën Junior Team in 2012. He then started driving World Rally Cars. In 2013, driving for the Qatar World Rally Team, he surprised everyone by finishing second in the championship. He scored his first podiums that year.

When Hyundai Motorsport returned to the WRC in 2014, they chose Neuville as their main driver. He won his first WRC event, and Hyundai's first, at the 2014 Rallye Deutschland. He also helped Hyundai get their first podium earlier that season. Neuville finished sixth in 2014 and 2015. However, he was the championship runner-up from 2016 to 2019. Since 2017, he has battled closely for the title with rivals like Sébastien Ogier and Ott Tänak. In 2017 and 2018, he just missed out on the title to Ogier. In 2019, he was second to Tänak. Even though he was second in 2019, his results helped Hyundai win their first team championship.

Neuville has won 21 world rallies, all with Hyundai. He was first known as a specialist on asphalt (paved roads). But he has won on both asphalt and gravel. He also won on snow at the Rally Sweden in 2018. This made him one of the few non-Nordic drivers to win that event. Besides rallying, Neuville has also tried circuit racing. He debuted in the 2019 ADAC TCR Germany Touring Car Championship in 2019.

Thierry Neuville's Rally Career

How Thierry Started Racing

Thierry Neuville was born in St. Vith, a German-speaking area of Belgium. He drove in his first rally at age 19 in 2007. His first rally car was an Opel Corsa in Luxembourg. In 2008, he won the Royal Automobil Club of Belgium Rally Contest. This helped kick-start his rally career. The next year, he won the Citroën Rally Trophy Belux in a Citroën C2 R2 Max.

Neuville first raced in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge in 2009. He drove a Peugeot 207 S2000 at the 2009 Ypres Rally. He crashed out while in fourth place. He was supposed to make his WRC debut at the 2008 Rally Finland in a Ford Fiesta ST, but he did not start. Instead, his WRC debut was at the 2009 Rally Catalunya in a Citroën C2 R2. He had to retire from that event.

Racing as a Private Driver (2010–2011)

2010 Season Highlights

In 2010, Neuville drove his own Citroën C2 S1600 in five Junior World Rally Championship (JWRC) events. He retired from the first two gravel rallies while leading. These were in Turkey and Portugal. He won his first JWRC event in Bulgaria on asphalt. He retired again in Germany due to engine trouble. His final event was in France, where he finished third. Despite leading many events, he finished seventh in the championship because of his retirements.

That same year, Neuville also raced in six 2010 Intercontinental Rally Challenge events. He drove a Peugeot 207 S2000 for Peugeot Belgium-Luxembourg. He retired from his first event in the Canary Islands due to suspension damage. He finished fourth in Sardinia, his first gravel rally in the Peugeot. He achieved his best result, third, at his home event, the 2010 Ypres Rally. He finished ninth in the season standings.

2011 Season Highlights

Neuville continued with the Peugeot team in the 2011 Intercontinental Rally Challenge. He crashed out of the first stage at the Monte Carlo Rally. After this, Nicolas Gilsoul became his new co-driver. In the next event in the Canary Islands, Neuville fought for the win and finished third. He got his first victory at the 2011 Tour de Corse, winning by 15.5 seconds.

He led early at the 2011 Prime Yalta Rally but finished sixth after going off-road. Suspension damage caused him to retire at the 2011 Ypres Rally. He finished fourth in the Czech Republic. In Hungary, he was just 0.8 seconds from winning. His second victory came in 2011 Rallye Sanremo, winning by only 1.5 seconds. He finished fifth in the overall standings that year.

Joining Citroën Junior (2012)

Citroën signed Neuville for the 2012 World Rally Championship. He drove a Citroën DS3 WRC for their junior team in some races. This was his first season in a World Rally Car. He crashed early at the Monte Carlo Rally. He scored his first points in Portugal, finishing eighth. Before that, he had won his first stage in Mexico. In Argentina, he finished fifth despite rolling his car.

Neuville's early results were affected by having to restart rallies after issues. His first clean event was in Greece, where he finished sixth. He also filled in for an injured driver at the Qatar World Rally Team in New Zealand. He battled Ott Tänak for fifth place and secured it. He crashed out of sixth place in Finland. In Germany, he crashed again while close to a podium finish. He returned to points in Wales, finishing seventh. His best result was fourth in France, where he led a WRC event for the first time. He finished the season in seventh place overall.

Driving for Qatar (2013)

Neuville joined the Qatar team for the 2013 season, driving a Ford Fiesta RS WRC. He retired from the Monte Carlo Rally for the third time. In Sweden, he finished fifth on a surface he was less familiar with. Then, in Mexico, he earned his first WRC podium, finishing third. Portugal was disappointing, as he finished outside the points. He was fifth again in Argentina.

Then came a series of podium finishes that made Neuville the surprise driver of the season. He finished third in Greece and second in Italy, Finland, Germany, and Australia. In Germany, his home rally, he was in second place. He led for one stage but lost the lead to Dani Sordo. Neuville finished second, 53 seconds behind Sordo.

In Australia, Neuville was third before the final stage. He needed to finish second overall and in the PowerStage to have a chance at the title. His rival, Mikko Hirvonen, got a puncture, allowing Thierry to finish second overall and second in the PowerStage. After this, only Neuville and Sébastien Ogier could win the title. Ogier secured the title in the next rally in France. A podium finish for Neuville in the final rally in Wales secured his second-place spot in the championship.

Joining Hyundai (2014–Present)

2014: First Win with Hyundai

On November 5, 2013, Hyundai Motorsport confirmed they signed Neuville. He would lead their return to the WRC starting in 2014. By the middle of the 2014 season, Neuville had earned two podiums for Hyundai. He was running sixth in the overall standings.

Thierry Neuville had a big crash during the practice session for the 2014 Rallye Deutschland. His car rolled six times. However, the team repaired the car, and Neuville and his co-driver Nicolas Gilsoul finished the rally in first place. This was Thierry Neuville's and Hyundai Motorsport's first-ever WRC win. His teammate, Dani Sordo, finished second, making it a double victory for Hyundai.

2015: A Challenging Season

Neuville started the 2015 season well. He finished fifth in Monte Carlo and second in Sweden. In Mexico, he finished eighth, but he had been fighting for the lead before going off the road.

The rest of the season was tough for Neuville. After a crash in Argentina, his confidence dropped. He only managed one more podium, which was in Italy. His teammates, Sordo and Hayden Paddon, performed better than him in the later events. Still, he finished above them in the standings, ending the season in sixth place.

2016: Back on the Podium

The 2016 season began with a third-place finish in Monte Carlo. This was with a new version of the i20. But then he had a mechanical problem in Sweden and crashed in Mexico, scoring no points. In Portugal, he ran out of fuel due to a team miscalculation.

However, in Sardinia, Neuville was back in top form. He won nine of the 19 stages and took the rally victory. He finished about 25 seconds ahead of Jari-Matti Latvala. Neuville dedicated the win to his former mentors, Philippe Bugalski and Jean-Pierre Mondron.

On October 5, it was confirmed that Neuville would stay with Hyundai until the end of 2018. He finished the season with five podiums in the last five events. This secured him the runner-up position in the championship with 160 points.

2017: Fighting for the Title

Thierry Neuville won the 2017 Tour de Corse, his first rally victory of the 2017 season.

In 2017, Neuville and his teammates started with an even newer car, the i20 Coupe. The season began poorly for Neuville. He finished 15th and 13th in the first two rallies after leading both and then crashing. However, he still scored points in the power stages. After finishing third in Mexico, Neuville won the Tour de Corse and Rally Argentina. This made him a strong contender against Sébastien Ogier.

In Portugal, Neuville and Ogier fought for the win, with Ogier taking it. In Sardinia, Neuville finished third, ahead of Ogier. His next victory was in Poland. Then, in Finland, Neuville finished sixth. But since Ogier retired, Neuville took the championship lead for the first time.

Heading into the 2017 Rallye Deutschland, Neuville wanted to keep his lead. But a small hit damaged his car's suspension and transmission. He had to retire from the day. He tried to score points in the Power Stage but only managed sixth fastest. Ogier then took back the championship lead. Neuville had more bad luck in Spain. He hit a rock and broke his steering, scoring no points again. This dropped him to third in the standings.

Neuville regained second place in Wales by finishing second in the rally. He finished ahead of Ogier, who was third. However, Ogier scored extra points and won his fifth world title. At the final rally in Australia, Neuville took his fourth win of the season. This win secured him the runner-up spot in the standings for the third time.

2018: Another Close Call

Just like in 2017, Neuville started the season with a mistake in Monte Carlo. He got stuck in a ditch, losing four minutes. He fought back to finish fifth.

Thierry Neuville won the 2018 Rally Sweden.

In Rally Sweden, he started fifth on the road, giving him more grip. He won his seventh WRC rally and his first on snow. This made him the third non-Nordic driver to win the Swedish Rally. He led the championship by ten points over Ogier.

However, Ogier won the next rallies in Mexico and Corsica. Neuville had technical issues in Mexico and finished sixth. In Corsica, he finished third, and Ogier extended his lead. Neuville finished second in Argentina, but Ott Tänak won. Tänak then became a title contender with Neuville and Ogier.

In Portugal, Neuville secured his eighth WRC win. He took the championship lead when Ogier and Tänak had problems. He also got four extra points from the Power Stage. He won again in Sardinia, beating Ogier by just seven-tenths of a second on the final stage. This was one of the closest wins in WRC history.

Before Rally Turkey, Neuville signed an extension with Hyundai until the end of 2021. His lead in the standings shrunk when his suspension broke in Turkey. Tänak won that event. Neuville also slid off the road in Wales from second place. He lost the lead to Ogier in Spain, finishing fourth while Ogier was second.

Heading into the 2018 Rally Australia, Neuville, Ogier, and Tänak could all win the championship. Neuville got a puncture on the first day and dropped to last among the WRC drivers. This meant he had to clear loose gravel for others on the second day. He couldn't catch Ogier. On the final day, Neuville hit a tree, lost a wheel, and had to retire. This ended his title hopes. Tänak also damaged his car and retired, giving the title to Ogier. Neuville finished as runner-up for the fourth time.

2019: Hyundai's First Team Title

Neuville battled Ogier at the Monte Carlo Rally, finishing second. He then finished third in Sweden. He was fourth in Mexico, while Ogier won. His first win of 2019 was at the Tour de Corse. Elfyn Evans had been leading, but a puncture on the last stage allowed Neuville to win. After this, Neuville, Ogier, and Tänak were very close in points. He won the next event in Argentina.

When the championship went to Rally Chile for the first time, Neuville crashed heavily. He misjudged a fast crest. Both Neuville and his co-driver Gilsoul were okay. He had to retire, and Tänak won. Neuville dropped to third in the points. He then finished second in Portugal behind Tänak.

He didn't score many points in Sardinia and Finland, finishing sixth in both. Tänak won in Finland and opened a 22-point lead. Neuville needed to beat Tänak in Germany. He was battling Tänak closely but got a puncture. He finished fourth, while Tänak won. He lost more ground in Turkey after rolling his car and finishing eighth.

Tänak pulled further ahead by winning in Wales, where Neuville finished second. In Spain, Neuville had to win and finish well ahead of Tänak to stop him from winning the title. Neuville won the event, his twelfth WRC win. However, Tänak finished second, securing the 2019 World Rally Championship title. The final round in Australia was canceled due to bushfires. This meant Neuville finished second in the overall standings. Neuville's results, along with his teammates', helped Hyundai win their first manufacturers' (team) title.

2020: Another Strong Season for Hyundai

Neuville started his seventh season with Hyundai by winning the Monte Carlo Rally. He battled Ogier and Evans. However, he lost the lead after finishing sixth in Sweden. He lost more points in Mexico and Estonia due to mechanical problems. In a shorter season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Neuville was 37 points behind leader Ogier with three events left. He led most of the rally in Turkey but finished second after a puncture. He was second again in Sardinia. In the final rally in Monza, Neuville needed to win and score maximum points. Instead, he crashed out early. Ogier won his seventh title. However, with Neuville's teammates Tänak and Sordo finishing second and third, Hyundai won the manufacturers' title for the second time. Neuville finished fourth in the drivers' championship.

2021–2024: Becoming a World Champion

After three seasons finishing third (2021-2023), Neuville finally won his first World Rally Championship title in 2024. He and his co-driver Martijn Wydaeghe also secured Hyundai's first WRC Drivers' Championship. Neuville started 2024 strongly, winning the Monte Carlo Rally and Acropolis Rally. He was consistent throughout the season. Despite some challenges, like mechanical issues in Japan, he earned enough points to win the championship before the final stage. He became the first Belgian to win the WRC Drivers' title.

Circuit Racing Experience

Neuville made his Touring car racing debut in the 2019 ADAC TCR Germany Touring Car Championship. He drove a Hyundai i30 for Engstler Motorsport in two races at the Nürburgring. In the first race, Neuville took the lead, set the fastest lap, and won. For the second race, he started tenth and finished sixth in rainy conditions.

After the event, Neuville said he wanted to race more on circuits. He especially mentioned the 24 Hours Nürburgring.

About Thierry's Life

Thierry Neuville speaks German, his native language. However, he uses French for his pacenotes (instructions given by the co-driver). His younger brothers, Yannick Neuville and Tom Heindrichs, are also rally drivers.

Thierry became a father on July 8, 2019. He and his girlfriend, Déborah Ghys, have a daughter named Camille.
