But BMW, Land Rover and VW, with complete dedication and unwavering direction, waxed and polished their respective templates over generations. They’ve reached the point where they define their classes and make all their rivals seem like mere impersonations. Continue reading

Volkswagen Wins 2013 WRC Rally Mexico

VW-WRC13-03-RB1-2146-e1363016218199-960x483 Victory in Mexico – Volkswagen and Ogier in a league of their own

By: Jamie Vondruska

16 stage wins and a lead of three and a half minutes: Sébastien Ogier (F), at the wheel of the Volkswagen Polo R WRC, won the third round of the 2013 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC).

The Volkswagen pairing won all but seven of the 23 special stages and demonstrated remarkably consistent speed: thanks in no small part to the Ogier factor, the number 8 Polo R WRC was among the fastest four cars on every stage. The icing on the cake was Ogier’s victory on the Power Stage, which earned him a further three points towards the World Rally Championship. Continue reading
