France's Sebastien Ogier took his second successive world rally championship title for Volkswagen on Sunday after winning the Rally of Spain. Ogier, who had led for most of the four-day event, beat Finnish team mate Jari-Matti Latvala by 11.3 seconds to retain the title with one round remaining.
The Frenchman, who became the eighth man to win multiple championship titles and just the fifth to claim back-to-back titles, now has 242 points to Latvala's 211.
The 30-year-old's only difficult moment came on Saturday when he was forced to drive 20km with a damaged tire but he held on to register the 23rd victory of his career. The win was Volkswagen's 11th of the season and equalled the record set by Citroen in 2005 and 2008.
