Pons started his racing career on motorcycles and won the Spanish enduro national championship in 1998.

In 2002, Pons switched to rallying, capturing the Spanish national Group N gravel title the following year.

Pons still failed to impress the team, and when Loeb was injured and could not compete at the Rally of Turkey, Kronos hired Colin McRae to stand in.

He was then promoted to Kronos' second seat again and he went on to finish fourth in Australia and New Zealand and fifth in the final race of the season; the Wales Rally Great Britain.

In 2010, Pons returned to the WRC in the newly formed SWRC class, driving a Ford Fiesta S2000 for the Nupel Global Racing team.
