CITROËN RACING
all teams
After years of winning countless off-road titles across the World Rally Championship and in the Dakar Rally, and success in the World Touring Car Championship, Citroën Racing embark on a new chapter with a shift to electric racing.

Citroën joins the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship from Season 12 with the GEN3 Evo and sets a path to the GEN4 era, bringing a new Stellantis brand to the paddock alongside DS

Taking over from the Maserati partnership at the Monaco-based MSG Racing, Citroën enters the all-electric racing paddock with race-winning credentials from decades in the World Rally Championship. You only have to mention the name Sebastien Loeb to recall his legendary rally performances, taking the French manufacturer to an incredible 80 wins and nine world titles alongside co-driver Daniel Elena.

The Citroën name also found championship-winning success in the World Touring Car Championship, with a name familiar to the Formula E paddock, as Jose Maria Lopez took the French outfit to a hat-trick of titles. With Lopez, alongside Loeb and touring car legend Yvan Muller, Citroën dominated the WTCC for three seasons, taking the top spots in the championship.

Now they set their sights on the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, and have recruited a two-time champion and a race-winner to their line-up for their entry, as Jean-Eric Vergne and Nick Cassidy join Citroën Racing for their debut in the GEN3 Evo era.

Not only do the drivers carry race-winning potential, but they also take over the MSG Racing garage, which has a lot of legacy in Formula E, as one of the founding outfits in the series. With 11 wins, 29 podiums and five poles to their name, and a host of successful drivers all passing through their doorway, including former champion Stoffel Vandoorne, Maximilian Günther, Edoardo Mortara, Felipe Massa, and Jérôme d'Ambrosio.
