Sainz is a genuine reference in rallying circles, although his sporting beginnings began in a very different discipline, squash. He was the Spanish champion at the age of 16. His obsession with detail and perfection are two traits that have always defined him since he started racing a rally car. In fact, it was his competitive spirit that made a mark on a generation of fans with his two WRC titles and 26 championship victories. In a vote on the official World Rally Championship website in 2020, fans from around the world voted him the greatest ever, ahead of even nine-time World Rally Champion Sébastien Loeb. Sainz's desert adventures began in 2006 with Volkswagen, where he competed in the last two editions of the Dakar in Africa. However, it was not until 2010, in South America, that he and his inseparable co-driver Lucas Cruz enjoyed lifting the famous Touareg trophy into the sky. They repeated the feat with Peugeot in 2018, Mini X-Raid in 2020 and Audi in 2024. Sainz became the first driver to do it with a vehicle powered by electric motors and a range extender and the first with four differents brands. But "El Matador" isn't ready to hang up his helmet and wants to continue to add to his legacy. At the age of 62, Carlos Sainz has lost none of his characteristic competitive spirit and is aiming for a fifth victory, this time with Ford, the manufacturer that offered him his first contract as an official WRC driver in 1987. That would perhaps bring things full circle.
