Overview

Philippe Bugalski carried his late-1990s success into Citroën's transition from kit cars to a full World Rally Car program.

Bugalski's two WRC victories came in 1999, not during this decade. His major 2000s contribution was national success and development work.

2000 French champion: Won a third consecutive national title using Citroën machinery.

Xsara WRC development: Helped test and refine the four-wheel-drive car before Citroën's full WRC campaign.

Selected WRC starts: Competed in the developing Xsara WRC during the early 2000s.

Citroën Xsara WRC: Both competitive outings and crucial development mileage.

His work behind the scenes helped transform the Xsara into a championship-winning machine.

Immaculate tarmac precision with an engineering-driven mindset, Bugalski was as valuable in testing as he was on rally stages.
