EASY KIT

The Xsara WRC, based on the road-going Xsara hatchback but ultimately having very little resemblance to it under the skin, was one of the most successful cars ever to compete in the World Rally Championship. In 1999, Citroen Xsara Kit Car placed 1st overall in Tour de Course and Catalunya Rally. This car was considered the best car in the class. Philipe Bulgaski placed 7th overall and won the Kit Car F2 class. In 2001, Kit Cars category disappeared and was replaced by Super 1600 and Super 2000. Citroen Xsara competed on category World Rally Car. In 2002, Sébastien Loeb was going to win the Monte Carlo Rally but he was given a penalty because of illegal change of the tyre. But it took later on Detuschland Rally. In 2003, the Citroen Xsara has been more competitive. In Wales GB, the leader Richard Burns suffered a blackout and withdrew the rally. Sébastien loeb made a lot of mistakes on last round and unfortunaley, he lost the last round and lost the championship by just one point. However, the Citroen got the manufacteurs title and 2004, the Champion of the World Sébastien loeb won the championship. The car took Frenchman Sébastien Loeb to 28 rally wins, three consecutive Driver`s Championship titles from 2004 to 2006, and Citroen to three consecutive Manufacturer`s Championship titles in 2003, 2004, and 2005. Although it is the Frenchman who has proved the archetype Xsara WRC pilot virtually since its 2001 conception, Jesús Puras, Carlos Sainz and Francois Duval are the other drivers to have won.

2003 world champion Petter Solberg drove a 2006-spec Xsara for the majority of the 2009 season, which was entered by his own Petter Solberg World Rally Team
