How WRC legend Ogier will be remembered by his peers

After winning his eighth WRC title, Sebastien Ogier has drawn the curtain on his full-time rallying career. To understand Ogier's legacy, many of his former rivals, team-mates and colleagues have shared their thoughts on a vastly successful career

Sebastien Ogier has earned plenty of plaudits during a period of World Rally Championship dominance that has now yielded eight world titles. But the Frenchman admits it’s the praise from his peers that “you cherish” the most.

Ogier signed off his full-time WRC career in style by winning Rally Monza last weekend, sealing his eighth title to add to triumphs in 2013-2018 and 2020. While the Frenchman is expected to compete in selected rallies next year, the familiar sight of him fighting for another world title will now be consigned to the history books.
