Review: Ogier takes 7th victory in Portugal

Sebastien Ogier, driving a Toyota Yaris Rally 1, was the winner of the 58th edition of the Rally of Portugal. The Frenchman achieved the 63rd victory of his career and the 7th in Portugal… where it all began in 2010.

This year's edition of the Rally of Portugal was one of the best ever, both in sporting terms and in terms of the turnout of the public that filled the sections in the north and center of the country.

It was also a rally with a positive note for the Hankook tire brand, since, in a rally where the tough Friday sections usually leave marks, in this edition there were only two punctures, for the Latvian Martins Sesks (Ford Puma Rally1) and for the Estonian Ott Tanäk, in the Cabeceiras de Basto special stage.

In competitive terms, there was only one WRC driver to enter a “super rally”, which was unfortunately the fate of Adrien Fourmaux, who ended up not reaching the end of this Rally of Portugal.
