S bastien Ogier - with the help of teammate Julien Ingrassia - claimed his fourth World Rally Championship crown last weekend, winning the Rally Spain in Catalonia.That"s him, above, in a glorious, smokey drift around a roundabout (the course takes place across both dirt and asphalt). It"s the pair"s fifth race win of the season, and catapults them to the top of the WRC standings where they now cannot be caught.Ogier"s win then, puts him in fine company: he"s only the third WRC contender to be crowned champion four years in a row, and the fourth four-time champ in WRC history. He joins such names as Juha Kankkunen and Tommi M kinen. Though he"s a way off nine-time champ S bastian Loeb. Still, he"s got a bit of time to make up some groundSays Ogier: "It is an honour to be mentioned in the same breath as such big names as Kankkunen and M kinen. I would like to say a huge thank you to our team at Volkswagen. Without them, Julien and I would not be here today. They do a fantastic job all year and we have had a perfect car all season.
