Sébastien Ogier made a superb comeback into WRC Safari Rally after nursing a damaged rear damper on an opening day. Ogier refused to give up, and the hard work paid off.
“It’s been an amazing experience to be here. The support we got from the people here is incredible. There was a huge amount of people cheering for us on-road sections.
“It’s a great win for us. After our troubles on Friday, we had a really good weekend. We had really good pace and the car was amazing.
“Today I also want to congratulate Taka. He has made an amazing job, so well done Taka. It was not that easy to catch him at the end now. A great result for the team.
“It might be a bit shorter than old days, but the challenge is still very tough. We enjoyed it.”
