Transcript of the post event Press Conference organised by the FIA for the 2015 Wales Rally GB

Reigning FIA World Rally Champions Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia rounded off a near perfect season with victory on the final round of the championship, Wales Rally GB. A faultless performance by the Volkswagen crew saw them battle through wind and driving rain in the Welsh forests to claim their eighth win of the season, this time ahead of Citroën’s Kris Meeke and Paul Nagle and with 26 seconds in hand. Andreas Mikkelsen and Ola Floene finished third, giving the Polo R WRC 26 podium results in 2015, its most successful season to date.

Reigning FIA World Rally Champion Sébastien Ogier has extended his advantage in Wales Rally GB and the Frenchman goes into the final day of the 2015 FIA World Rally Championship with a 35.7 second lead over Citroën’s Kris Meeke. Andreas Mikkelsen retains third after the longest day of the rally that has seen crews out on the road for over 16 hours.

Having won five of the day’s special stages, reigning FIA World Rally Champion Sébastien Ogier tops the time sheets after the opening day of Wales Rally GB, the final round of this year’s Championship. The Frenchman has however been challenged hard and heads Ulsterman Kris Meeke by just 13.5 seconds after Volkswagen team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala crashed early this morning. Andreas Mikkelsen, whose participation was in question yesterday, is third a further 17.9 seconds adrift.
