August 23, 2015 – Sebastien Ogier won the ninth round of the World Rally Championship, Rallye Deutschland, on Sunday afternoon to move within touching distance of a third consecutive WRC title.
Ogier took his second German victory in a Volkswagen Polo R, beating team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala by 23.0 seconds and giving VW its first Rally Germany win after three days of asphalt action.
Andreas Mikkelsen finished third, a further 1min 33.6sec back, to secure a 1-2-3 for the German manufacturer at its home round and complete a full set of victories in the WRC calendar since it entered in 2013.
Latvala won the final live TV Power Stage to claim three bonus points. Kris Meeke took two points in second in Citroën’s DS 3 and Dani Sordo – who finished fourth ahead of his teammate Thierry Neuville – secured one in a Hyundai i20.
