About Carlos
Carlos Sainz has made more World Rally Championship starts than any other driver. ‘El Matador’ was twice crowned WRC World Champion, taking the title for Toyota in 1990 and 1992 and was runner-up a further four times.
Having retired from WRC, Carlos continues his world-class rallying career in cross-country events, notably the Dakar Rally. He has notched up some spectacular podiums since switching to cross-country rally driving including winning the 2010 Dakar Rally and the 2009 Silk Way event in Russia.
An avid football fan, Carlos has also been occasionally linked with senior office at Real Madrid and once stood for the position of vice-president at his favourite club.
