Career

File:Frederico Villagra-2007 Wales Rally GB 001.jpg.]]After experiencing success in his native championship (including winning the group N4 class every year between 2001 and 2005), Villagra came to the attention of a wider stage by winning the group N class of Rally Argentina in 2006 and 2007. This led to his employment by the Munchi's Ford World Rally Team halfway through the 2007 season. He scored his first points with an attrition aided seventh place in Japan.

In 2008 he will again drive for the Munchi's team in the ten events that they are competing in. He was off the pace in México, which was his first event of the season, but still managed to finish seventh and pick up two drivers points. He improved again at his home event in Argentina, finishing a career best sixth despite reliability issues,{{cite web| title = Sixth place for Villagra is personal best| work = wrc.com| url = http://www.wrc.com/jsp/index.jsp?lnk=101&id=828&desc=Sixth%20place%20for%20Villagra%20is%20personal%20best| access-date = 2008-08-10| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20081009061737/http://www.wrc.com/jsp/index.jsp?lnk=101&id=828&desc=Sixth%20place%20for%20Villagra%20is%20personal%20best| archive-date = 2008-10-09| url-status = dead}} and matched this performance again in Jordan.{{cite web|title = Villagra sixth for Munchi's in Jordan|work = wrc.com|url = http://www.wrc.com/jsp/index.jsp?lnk=101&id=1071&desc=Villagra%20sixth%20for%20Munchi's%20in%20Jordan|access-date = 2008-08-10}}{{Dead link|date=December 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

In 2009 Villagra scored more points than year before and finished best at 4th place at his home-event 2009 Rally Argentina and also at 2009 Acropolis Rally.
