When Kronos Racing was set up in 1994 Peugeot Belgium/Luxembourg entrusted it with the management of its circuit and rally programmes.

 

After winning national titles in both branches of the sport Kronos Racing scored its first international success with a historic triple in the 1999 Spa-Francorchamps 24 Hour race.

 

The following year the Kronos Racing's Peugeot 306 Gti won the legendary event again.

 

Kronos Racing looked after the WRCs and Super 1600s and moved up a step by entering rallies at every level in the Belgian, Polish, European and World Championships.

 

In 2003, Bruno Thiry won the European Rally Championship in the Peugeot 206 WRC Kronos.

 

In 2004, Citroën Sport chose Kronos Racing to give the C2 Super 1600s their competition debut. The team extended its partnership with the PSA Group by becoming involved in the French, JWRC and European Championships.

 

In 2005, Dani Sordo won the Junior World Rally Championship in a C2 prepared by Kronos Racing, while Manfred Stohl scored two podium finishes in the world championship at the wheel of a Xsara WRC.

 

The 2006 season was certainly the most significant in the history of Kronos Racing as it entered three Xsara WRCs in the World Rally Championship. Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena racked up eight victories and four second places in twelve rallies winning their third world title! Xavier Pons, Dani Sordo and the late Colin McRae also drove for the Naninne-based team.

 

In addition to competing in the 2007 World Rally Championship, Kronos Racing became progressively involved in the promising IRC Championship by entering Peugeot 207 Super 2000s. One year to learn and one to win. In 2008, Peugeot Belgium/Luxemburg and Kronos won the IRC title with Nicolas Vouilloz together with the second place of Freddy Loix.
