history

Exagon was founded in 2004 by Luc Marchetti and is run by Cathy Muller , a former racing driver and sister of Yvan Muller . The team earned their first merits in the winter of 2005 when they upgraded a Kia Rio , with which Yvan Muller took part in the Trophée Andros and was also able to take part the following year.

The team took part in various competitions, such as the French GT Championship , the FIA GT Championship and the French Rallycross Championship , with less success .

It was not until 2007 that Exagon regularly took part in the World Touring Car Championship . At the wheel were the Belgian driver Pierre-Yves Corthals and the Moroccan Mehdi Benanni .
