Sébastien Ogier secured his second consecutive world drivers’ title after winning RallyRACC - Rally de España on Sunday.
The Frenchman led for most of the four-day mixed surface event to head Volkswagen Polo R team-mate and championship rival Jari-Matti Latvala by 11.3sec to clinch the title with one round remaining.
Mikko Hirvonen took the final podium place on this 12th round of the FIA World Rally Championship in a Ford Fiesta RS, 1min 42.2sec behind Ogier.
Latvala won the rally-closing live TV Power Stage to take maximum bonus points. Kris Meeke claimed two points for second in a Citroen DS3, with Andreas Mikkelsen taking one point for third in another Polo R.
