Philippe Bugalski (born June 12, 1963) is a former French rally driver who was famous for his lightning performances on tarmac rallies. By the mid 90s he was a regular top-choice tarmac specialist for Citroen along with team mate Jesús Puras . However, as the Citroën Total World Rally Team became a big name for Group A employing such drivers as Sébastien Loeb he was frequently entered as Citroen's 3rd driver for tarmac rallies. His top performances have been on home soil on the Tour De Corse, but he has also shown great potential in the San Remo Rally, Monte-Carlo Rally, and Catalunya Rally. Since his breakthrough to the Group A category, he has struggled to secure a firm place in Citroen's World Rally Championship team; he has always been a solid reserve driver. As of 2003, he has stopped rallying professionally.
