Ogier escapes exclusion at Rally Mexico

Alors que le Rally of Mexico ended with the victory of Kris Meeke in front Sébastien Ogier, le pensionnaire de l’équipe M-Sport était menacé d’une exclusion qui lui aurait fait perdre la tête du Championnat.

Scrutineers investigate Ford Fiesta gearbox WRC which was suspected of being too light compared to the approved version.

As we announce in AUTO n°2106hebdo, the inspection validated the conformity of the suspected element. Sébastien Ogier thus retains his 2nd place and the 22 points that go with it (with his 4 additional points collected in the Power Stage).

The WRC will resume its rights on the weekend of April 9 with the Tour de Corse, the first real asphalt event of the 2017 season.
