Our debut season in WRC was one filled with milestones and memories. From a tough opening round at Monte-Carlo, our first successes were just around the corner.

A podium in Mexico and an incredible 1-2 on home soil in Germany were the highlights.

• Debut at Rallye Monte-Carlo
• First podium in Mexico with Thierry and Nicolas
• First win with 1-2 at Rallye Deutschland

From a blank sheet of paper, our young team embarked on an ambitious programme during 2013.
