Sebastien Ogier has claimed his third win of the World Rally Championship season on Rally de Portugal, which ended in the Algarve this afternoon.

The Frenchman overcame a final day technical scare with his Volkswagen Polo R to complete the rally 58.2sec ahead of Mikko Hirvonen in a Citroen DS3.

Ogier’s Volkswagen Motorsport team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala finished third, 3m06.3s behind Hirvonen.

Ogier collected an extra three drivers’ points by also winning the SS15 Power Stage, which brought the action on round four of the World Rally Championship to a close.

Mads Ostberg scored two bonus points in his Ford Fiesta RS with Latvala claiming the final point with the third best run in his Polo R.
