Rally Australia / Rally review ogier thunders down under There was general consensus among the WRC in-crowd, Ogier would be champion and the chances to be champion in Australia were more than average.

Although there were only 30 drivers and Neuville and Østberg have never been down under before, all ingredients were there for an interesting battle. Words: Harry van Veenendaal 35/52 Images: PR
