What a ridiculously successful four years Volkwagen had in the World Rally Championship.

The highlights:

• 43 wins in 52 rallies
• Topped the Drivers’ and Co-Drivers’ Championship for an uninterrupted 986 days
• Topped Manufacturers’ standings for 1346 days in a row
• Won 12 rallies in a row on two seperate occasions

It’s a shame to see a team that are so dominant leave the WRC based on other issues with the company. It will be a real test for Sébastien Ogier next season to retain his title with a different car and team behind him for the first time.
