World champion Sebastien Ogier crowned a sensational debut season for Volkswagen Motorsport by winning Wales Rally GB this afternoon.

The Frenchman won the 13th and final round of the FIA World Rally Championship in a Polo R. It was his ninth win of the campaign, a record bettered only by outgoing champion Sebastien Loeb.

Team-mate Jari-Matti finished second in another Polo R, the Finn finishing ahead of Thierry Neuville’s Ford Fiesta RS. The final podium place for Neuville secured second in the championship for the Belgian.

Elfyn Evans secured his maiden victory in the WRC 2 support category, the Welshman delighting his home fans by finishing ahead of Jari Ketomaa. Both were in Fiesta R5 cars.
