WRC- Rally Australia: One-two-three and the fastest WRC title win* for 25 years

The first title has been claimed in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC): Volkswagen is World Rally Champion* again.

The works team from Wolfsburg wrapped up the successful defence of its title in Manufacturers’ Championship at the Rally Australia – round 10 of the 13-rally season.

This marked the earliest the World Championship had been decided for 25 years.

The triumph was crowned by the first one-two-three for the team, which entered the World Championship with the Polo R WRC for the first time in 2013.

Winners Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia (F/F) led the team to a dominant success down under. Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN) and Andreas Mikkelsen/Ola Fløene (N/N) finished second and third to round off the dream result for Volkswagen.

With only three rallies remaining this season – in France, Spain and Great Britain – Ogier/Ingrassia and Latvala/Anttila are now the only pairs left battling it out for the title in the Drivers’ and Co-Drivers’ Championship.

Defending champions Ogier/Ingrassia are currently in pole position, with a 50-point lead over their team-mates.
