Latvala/Anttila win in Mexico ahead of Ogier/Ingrassia
Back in business and making history for Volkswagen in the process – Jari-Matti Latvala and Miikka Anttila claimed an important victory at the Rally Mexico. The Volkswagen duo enjoyed an emphatic return to form, dominating the rally to triumph ahead of team-mates Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia, and fought their way back into the title race. They also presented the Polo R WRC with its 12th win in a row, equaling the longest winning run in the history of the FIA (International Automobile Federation) World Rally Championship (WRC). The latest success sees Volkswagen draw level with its own record of a dozen successive victories, meaning the Wolfsburg-based car maker can set a new record at the coming rally in Argentina. The win also marked Latvala and Anttila’s first at the Rally Mexico, and the 16th of their careers.
