About Thierry
Thierry enjoyed huge success at junior levels of rallying before making the step up to WRC in 2009. Finishing second in the 2013 standings, he caught the eye of our fledgling team, and we signed him for our debut season. Alongside co-driver Nicolas, he scored our team’s debut podium in Mexico 2014, and a memorable 1-2 (ahead of Dani) in Rallye Deutschland – our maiden victory. A win in Sardinia was the highlight of 2016. Thierry has since emerged a regular title contender, always at the forefront of the action. He finished as championship runner-up on four consecutive occasions from 2016-2019, increasing his points tally with each passing season. Hailing from St. Vith in the Ardennes forest, Thierry can speak several languages fluently. Although a native German speaker, he and Nicolas speak French in the car as the shorter words make communication more efficient.
