Matton’s replacement’s ‘dream job’
Inbound Citroen Racing director Pierre Budar has described his new job as a ‘dream come true’ after he replaced Yves Matton at the top of the French firm’s World Rally Championship squad.
As outlined by MN last week, Matton has taken up the job of rally director with the FIA and he will replace Jarmo Mahonen in that position at the start of next month. Budar starts his new job immediately and will take charge of the team at next week’s season-opening Monte Carlo Rally.
Budar, a former competitor and Peugeot Challenge winner in 1990, steps up from running PSA Motorsport’s customer racing department – the area of PSA which delivered Citroen’s C3 R5.
