We Take a Tour Inside the Premises That Turn Regular Road-legal Citroens Into Rally Monsters. This Isn’t for the Faint Hearted.
Remember Sébastien Loeb? Well, if you don’t, you don’t deserve to be here. He’s been arguably the most successful rally driver of all times – a driver that got Citroen several wins and podium finishes and proved that Citroens could conquer any sort of terrain and teach the world a lesson or two about rallying.
The buildings, the equipment, the people and the infrastructure that you see here is what made all of that possible – and will continue to make legends like Loeb across different platforms of motor racing. It’s the structure – that’s situated on the outskirts of Paris – that turns regular Citroens that you see on the road into machines that gobble up dirt on the rally stage and encounter massive, unbelievable jumps and still make it past the finish line faster than any other machine would do. It’s the birthplace of Citroen Racing and the place where magic takes place.
