Ford clean sweep in Wales Rally GB
Congratulations to Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team's Jari-Matti Latvala and Miikka Anttila on their Wales Rally GB title.
The Ford Fiesta RS World Rally Car, which employs an extensive range of Cosworth electronics delivered a 1-2-3 finish on the final round of the FIA World Rally Championship.
The Finnish pair claimed their fifth victory in WRC, and their first since July 2010, as the Fiesta RS WRC took eight of the top nine places in the demanding four-day event.
Latvala won by 3min 42.9sec after winning 11 of the 23 speed tests in the muddy Welsh forests, leading home Mads Ăstberg / Jonas Andersson and Henning Solberg / Ilka Minor from the privately-entered M-Sport Stobart Ford squad.
The success of the Fiesta RS WRC on this 13th round of the season mirrored the car's triumphant debut in Sweden in February, when team-mates Mikko Hirvonen and Jarmo Lehtinen headed a similar podium clean sweep.
