Thierry is a true petrol head; he just loves being behind the wheel. He enjoyed huge success at junior levels before making the step up to WRC in 2009, finishing second in the 2013 standings after a competitive season. Those performances 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, in which he finished second in the Drivers’ Championship. Thierry then emerged as a genuine championship contender in 2017. He won four rallies in total, the most of any driver, and finished as a close runner-up in the championship. 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.

The Maldives are top of the list!
I would have become a driving instructor instead.

Impatient, ambitious, sociable.
