context_page_description: Sébastien Ogier is a French rally driver, competing for Toyota World Rally Team in the World Rally Championship, who is teamed with co-driver Julien Ingrassia. He won the World Rally Drivers' Championship six times, in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. With 48 victories in the World Rally Championship and 6 consecutive titles, he is the 2nd most successful WRC driver, after former Citroën WRC teammate Sébastien Loeb.
context_section_description: In January 2009, Ogier made a one-off appearance in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge, contesting the Monte Carlo Rally. He won the prestigious event for his first rally in a Peugeot 207 S2000.
  It was only a one-off participation in IRC: for the 2009 season, Ogier was signed in WRC to capitalize on his Junior title. At the start of the season, he was supposed to take part in the first six rounds of the world championship with a C4 WRC of Citroën's satellite team, and that the remaining rallies of the season would depend on his results. Despite a few mistakes, his performances pushed the squad to confirm him for the rest of the season.
  At the Acropolis Rally, Ogier drove to his first podium place, finishing second to Ford's Mikko Hirvonen.
