Ogier victorious in Italy

WORLD champion Sebastien Ogier won the Rally of Italy in Sardinia for Volkswagen yesterday with New Zealander Hayden Paddon finishing second for his first podium appearance.

Ogier also won the final power stage to collect an additional three bonus points and extend his overall championship lead. It was the Frenchman’s fourth win in six races this season. Belgian Thierry Neuville took third place behind Hyundai teammate Paddon. Paddon’s result was the best ever by a New Zealander in the world rally championship, surpassing the late Peter ‘Possum’ Bourne’s fourth at Rally Australia in 1990.
