Sébastien Ogier/Vincent Landais defied team-mate Kalle Rovanperä/Jonne Halttunen’s charge to head home a dream 1-2-3-4 finish for Toyota Gazoo Racing on a spectacular final day at Safari Rally Kenya.

The Frenchman recorded his third victory from just five starts so far this season, overcoming some nervy moments in the closing stages to beat GR Yaris team-mate Rovanperä on African soil. It is also his 58th career win. Elfyn Evans rounded out the podium while Takamoto Katsuta completed a Toyota clean sweep in fourth overall. 

Kajetan Kajetanowicz and Maciej Szczepaniak brought their Škoda Fabia Evo home piece to secure back-to-back wins in the WRC2 class - a big boost to their 2023 title aspirations.
