Raids and Rallies : Citroën's Motor Sport Challenges

58: Michel Lafon, 2010. Hardcover. Text in English. 175 pp.

More than ever, with its star driver Sebastien Loeb – seven times world rally champion (a new world record) – Citroen is making the headlines in motor sport news.

From its first great raids to rally and rally raid, the chevron constructor's history has been one long series of exploits and successes. This book tells the story of all these human achievements and technical feats in pictures. It looks back at the first half- track trans-Sahara, the legendary Croisiere Noire (Algeria-Cape Town) and Croisiere Jaune (Beirut-Peking), and the Paris-Kabul and the Paris-Persepolis-Paris among the great raids; the Monte Carlo rally performances of the Traction, DS, Visa, Xsara and C4; many unforgettable moments in rally from the 1950s to the WRC years with Citroên winning several constructor's titles in the World Rally Cup (three for the Xsara WRC and three for the C4 WRC); the five titles achieved in the World Rally Raid Cup with the legendary ZX; and rallycross and promotional events, including the Visa Women's Trophy and Citroen Racing Trophy.

The chevron firm also outlines its future goals in these pages, presenting the new DS3 R3, a foretaste of the DS3 WRC that will be driven by Sebastien Loeb and others next year.

It also pays tribute to the people behind all these ventures: Citroen's brilliant drivers and the great professionals who work with and for them. Fine. Item #5728
