Frenchman Sébastien Ogier, the newly crowned 2008 Junior World Rally Champion, will be rewarded for his hard work with an entry on December's Wales Rally GB in a factory supported Citroen C4 WRC.

Ogier clinched the J-WRC title on the recent Rallye de France-Tour de Corse driving a C2 S1600 supported by Citroen and France's motor sport governing body the FFSA. The same two backers will make it possible for him to try the C4 WRC on Wales Rally GB.

In common with the cars campaigned by Conrad Rautenbach and Urmo Aava, Ogier's C4 WRC will be run on the event by PH Sport with the assistance of technicians from Citroen Sport Technologies. His car will feature a similar livery to that of his C2 and will sport the colours of the FFSA, Total and Citroen.
