SS23: Ogier claims first Rally Finland win!

3 August 2013 - 17:37

Sebastien Ogier has won Neste Oil Rally Finland to extend his lead in the FIA World Rally Championship.

The Frenchman safely negotiated the final stage with a 36.6sec lead in his Volkswagen Polo R. It was his fifth WRC victory this season.

Thierry Neuville finished second in a Ford Fiesta RS, matching the career best result he took on the previous round in Sardinia.

The top three was completed by Mads Ostberg, also in a Fiesta RS, who finished 21.0sec behind Neuville.

Neuville rounded off an impressive weekend by going fastest on the rally closing Power Stage and bagging the maximum three bonus points.

Two points for second fastest went to Ogier with his team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala, who retired on the opening day, taking the final point for third.
