Villagra had a passion for speed since he was 10 years old. He started competing in motocross at a very early age and achieved several motocross and enduro titles between 1984 and 1996. In 1997, Villagra started to explore the world of rallying, competing in his first national event with his brother, Javier. The same year, he took part in Rally Argentina for the first time, finishing third in the F2 class.

In 1998, he finished fourth in the same rally and in 2001 he clinched his first national title; becoming South American Champion in the N4 class. Over the next three years he won the Argentine Championship in the same class. In 2004, Villagra won the Chilean Championship and the overall championship in Argentina. Victory in the Group N class on Rally Argentina in 2007 convinced Munchi's team bosses of his potential and chose Villagra to replace Juan Pablo Raies.

A ten round Munchi's team programme followed in 2008, which netted six top ten finishes and a personal best of sixth in Mexico and Argentina. He beat that in 2009, when he collected two fourth places, one on the Acropolis Rally of Greece, the other in front of his legions of supporters in Argentina. With the benefit of another season with Ford under his belt, Villagra is hoping for further improvement in 2010.
