{{WRC driver| Name = Carlos Sainz| Image =| Caption =| Nationality = Spain| Years = 1987 - 2005| Teams = Toyota, Lancia, Subaru, Ford, Citroën, [1992 World Rally Championship season)| Wins = 26| Podiums = 97| Stagewins = 756| Points = 1242| First race = 1987 Rally Portugal| Last win = 2004 [Rally Argentina-->Carlos Sainz (born [April 12, 1962 in Madrid, Spain) is a former Spain rally driver. He was List of World Rally Championship Drivers' Champions for Toyota in both 1990 World Rally Championship season and 1992 World Rally Championship season. His co-drivers were Luis Moya and Marc Marti. List of World Rally Championship Constructors' Champions to have benefitting from Sainz include Subaru (1995 World Rally Championship season), Toyota (1999 World Rally Championship season) and Citroën (2003 World Rally Championship season, 2004 World Rally Championship season and 2005 World Rally Championship season).

Sainz began rallying in 1980. He first appeared in the World Rally Championship with Ford Motor Company during the 1987 World Rally Championship season. He left to join Toyota Team Europe, the Japanese marque's rallying arm operating in Cologne, Germany. Despite all previous rallying Toyota Celicas having only ever looked a competitive prospect on highly specialised endurance rallies such as the Safari Rally, the new combination of Toyota and Sainz rapidly rose in competitiveness, to the point of winning its first world rally event, the Acropolis Rally, in June of 1990, with Sainz going on to claim his first world drivers' title later that year and for the first time, breaking the stranglehold on the titles which only the dominant Lancia Lancia Delta Integrales team had hirtherto held in the series since the advent of the Group A era of the sport in 1987 World Rally Championship season.

After narrowly failing to defend his title against a resurgent Lancia-mounted Juha Kankkunen in identical Toyota machinery in 1991 World Rally Championship season, his efforts capped by a dramatic roll of his Celica GT4 which left him in a neckbrace, Sainz managed to claim his second overall points victory, aboard the new ST185 Toyota Celica in the 1992 World Rally Championship season. In a year that would prove the last for the foreseeable future for Lancia, Sainz managed to score memorable victories on the Safari Rally and on his home asphalt round, the Rally Catalunya, repelling the might of the representatives for the Italian marque, Kankkunen and six-time rally victor, Didier Auriol. Indeed, Auriol's retirement on the final round in Great Britain, combined with Sainz's victory, confirmed the title in favour of the Spaniard.

Such success, however, failed to coerce Sainz into staying with Toyota. Instead, he moved to the private Lancia 'Jolly Club' team with which he would go on to endure a sole, torrid winless season in 1993. Meanwhile, the Italian marque's works refugees Kankkunen and Auriol, switched in the other direction to take his place. The result was a title double for Toyota and Kankkunen in the 1993 World Rally Championship season. Sainz then chose to drove for the then fledgling Subaru World Rally Team in 1994 World Rally Championship season, reaching the unpredecented heights of second in the championship standings for them, behind Auriol. In 1995, he won the Monte Carlo Rally and Rally Portugal rallies and helped Subaru to win the manufacturers' series, although once again, he would be forced to give best in the drivers' title race, this time to young team-mate Colin McRae, whom he was to join on later occasions at both Ford and Citroën.

Sainz responded by rejoining Ford for the 1996 World Rally Championship season. He spent two seasons with the squad, aboard the Ford Escort RS Cosworth and latterly, the Escort World Rally Car. He also won the Race of Champions at the end of 1997. He then departed, once again, for Toyota, helping to further the Toyota Corolla project that had been instituted in 1997 as part of the Cologne recovery from the embarrassment of exclusion from the world championship on the penultimate round of the 1995 season. He won on his first outing for them, on the 1998 World Rally Championship season Monte Carlo Rally, and later in the season, added a victory in Rally New Zealand. The seemingly terminal blow to title rival Tommi Mäkinen's chances that was his retirement on the first day of the final event of the year, the Rally Great Britain, seemingly gave the initiative to Sainz, who now only had to score the points associated with finishing fourth, in order to ensure the title. However, he too, just 500 metres from the finish of the very last stage, was then forced to retire, with a mechanical problem. As a result, both Sainz and Toyota gifted their respective titles to rivals Mäkinen and Ralliart.

A subdued season followed for Sainz in 1999, although it did at least culminate in a departing manufacturers' title for Toyota, by now fostering alternative interests in Formula One. This was the precursor of another, three year stint with Ford, again alongside McRae, beginning with the 2000 World Rally Championship season. There, he won the inaugural edition of the Cyprus Rally round of the World Championship, and finished third in the drivers' points standings. He failed to score victory on any rally during the 2001 World Rally Championship season, finishing sixth in the championship. In 2002 World Rally Championship season, he inherited the victory of the Rally Argentina, having provisionally finished third, by virtue of the disqualifications of the two leading Peugeots of Marcus Grönholm and Richard Burns. Effectively frozen out along with McRae at Ford, he moved to Citroën for the 2003 and 2004 seasons, with whom he was to score his final world rally victory, at the 2004 Rally Argentina.

Despite formally retiring at the end of the 2004 season, with a possible view to moving into the World Touring Car Championship, he was to actually find himself invited back to the WRC fold on the request of Citroën, to replace the faltering Belgian driver François Duval. Although Duval was soon to reclaim his seat, Sainz's two rallies back in the Citroën impressed many, with the now-43 year old Spaniard posting 4th and 3rd finishing positions respectively.

2006 saw a first participation for Sainz at the wheel of a Volkswagen in that year's Dakar Rally. In 2007, he repeated his attempt with Volkswagen. Following the resignation of Fernando Martin, he even ran, eventually in vain, for the vice-president position at his beloved football club Real Madrid C.F., for which he once trained.

A limited number of 440 Toyota Celica GT-Fours, carrying his name on a plaque in the vehicle, and with decals on the outside, were produced in the United Kingdom in the early 1990s, in an attempt to capitalise on Sainz's two championship successes with the works team. It is been said that Sainz still keeps a Celica GT-Four given to him by Toyota, which he drives to Real Madrid games at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
