The GR Yaris Rally1 HYBRID cars of Sébastien Ogier, Kalle Rovanperä and Elfyn Evans went one-two-three on the South American Sunday as well as locking out the top two in the Wolf Power Stage. It marked the team's strongest final day so far this season.
“A perfect Sunday for the first time this season feels really good,” said Latvala. “This is a great result for our team – especially after the devastating blows we felt on the final days of the past two events [in Finland and Greece].
“Our drivers did a magnificent job on Sunday pushing until the end of the last stage. This result will boost the whole team and give them extra motivation for the two remaining events.”
