Dani Sordo claimed his maiden WRC victory at ADAC Rallye Deutschland after a nail-biting finale to this ninth round of the season.

The Spaniard, driving a Citroen DS3, edged out Belgium’s Thierry Neuville by 53 sec after the Ford Fiesta RS driver went off the road just before the finish. Mikko Hirvonen was third in the second Citroen works team DS3.

Volkswagen’s Sebastien Ogier claimed a maximum three bonus points after winning the final Dhrontal Power Stage. Sordo scored two points with second while Jari-Matti Latvala took the last point.
