Patricia Sáiz Ruiloba

Spanish co‑driver Patricia Sáiz Ruiloba grew up immersed in motorsport in Cantabria, first riding motorbikes, quads and buggies before discovering rallying through a colleague who introduced her to the co‑driver’s craft.

She debuted at the Rallysprint de Rudagüera with “Paquito”, beginning a rapid rise through the Spanish rally scene.

Her breakthrough came with Fernando Prada, securing the Cantabria Rallysprint Championship and the Junior co‑driver classification. Patricia soon moved into national and international programmes, including the Beca Junior RTS and ADAC Opel Electric Rally Cup. In 2025, she partnered Dani Sordo, taking second overall in Portugal and fourth at Ypres Rally with multiple fastest times.

Now competing with Surhayén Pernía in a Citroën C3 Rally2, Patricia remains in the fight for the Spanish Asphalt title while preparing for her first WRC appearance with Hyundai Motorsport.
