He currently competes in the French Rally Championship and the WRC-2, the premier support category of the World Rally Championship, with customer Citroën team CHL Sport Auto.

He also works as a development driver for Citroën's in-house customer support team PH Sport.

Bonato won the French Rally Championship outright in 2017, 2018 and 2020, earning the title of "Champion of France."

After winning the French Rally Championship in 2017, PH Sport hired Bonato to be part of a team of drivers that would help Citroën develop a new R5 variant of their WRC car, the Citroën C3.

He, along with factory Citroën driver Stéphane Lefebvre, would give the C3 its competitive debut at the Tour de Corse the following year.
