Victory for Tommy Rustad (N) in the FIA European Rallycross Championship.
Volkswagen dominated the Rally Germany. Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia’s (F/F) are the first duo to win the rally in a German car in the current WRC era. The Wolfsburg-based manufacturer – put in business by the allies after WW2 – also finished second and third with Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN) and Andreas Mikkelsen/Ola Fløene (N/N).
The victories speak for themselves. Up until now the ‘home event’ had been the only rally that Volkswagen did not win. Simple mathematics, – this year’s world rally champion will once again be at the wheel of a Polo R WRC.
Rally enthusiasts will have to wait until the next round of the world championship in Australia to find out which of the three factory works duos comes out on top. Having claimed victory number 30 of their career, Ogier/Ingrassia now have a chance of wrapping up their third Drivers’ and Co-Drivers’ championships in a row – pending with rallies still to come.
That is why they run the races.
Volkswagen has a chance at the Manufacturers’ Championship.
