Daniel Elena

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel Elena (born 26 October 1972) is a rally co-driver from Monaco. He is currently co-driver to Sébastien Loeb. The pair have won the World Rally Championship four times, and currently compete with the Citroën C4. Forty-one World rally wins (all of them with Loeb) make him the co-driver with the most victories in the history of the WRC.

He started rallying in 1997 as co-driver to Hervé Bernard, but became Loeb's co-driver the following season and quickly developed a strong relationship with him, winning the Citroën Saxo Trophy in 1999 and the French gravel title the following year.

In 2001, they won the FIA Super 1600 championship in their Citroën Saxo, becoming an obvious choice for Citroën's WRC team, which they made their first start for that year, going on to take their first win at Rallye Deutschland in 2002. They went on to take four consecutive World Rally Championship titles between 2004 and 2007.

Loeb & Elena have won Elena's home rally, the famous Monte Carlo rally five times (2003-2005 and 2007-2008).

Elena is the first person to receive the Michael Park trophy, which is given yearly to the best co-driver.
