2C Compétition is a French rally team based in Thiers, Puy-de-Dôme, France. It is owned by the company SARL 2 C and was founded in 2009.[1] [2]
The team were responsible for running the Škoda Fabia R5 cars that propelled Pierre-Louis Loubet and Vincent Landais to WRC2 championship title wins in 2019.
The team entered the World Rally Championship for Manufacturers in 2020 and 2021 using a Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC.[3] WRC regulations at the time insisted the name of the manufacturer had to be included in the name of the team entry, thus the team competed as Hyundai 2C Compétition.[4] It's also likely Hyundai supported the entry as drivers Loubet and Ole Christian Veiby were part of their junior driver programme.[5]
In 2022, the team competed in the American Rally Association national championship with Ken Block driving its Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC. To assist with logistics they opened a base in Indianapolis, Indiana.[6]
In 2023, 2C Compétition partnered with Hyundai to contest as the manufacturer's WRC2 entry using their Hyundai i20 N Rally2 cars.[7] Reports suggested they had ambitions to contest the WRC using Rally1 cars but the decision 'was not in their hands'.[8]
