MEXICO CITY : Toyota’s world championship part-timer Sebastien Ogier won the Rally of Mexico for a record seventh time on Sunday, one more than old rival Sebastien Loeb.
The Frenchman, an eight-times world champion, also went top of the overall standings after finishing 27.5 seconds clear of Hyundai’s Belgian Thierry Neuville in the Guanajuato-based event.
Ogier had 56 points to Neuville’s 53 after three rounds.
“The car was great this weekend and it was a faultless rally for us and the team,” said Ogier of his second event of a limited season.
Welsh driver Elfyn Evans was third for Toyota with reigning champion and team mate Kalle Rovanpera fourth.
The next rally is in Croatia from April 20-23.
