There were at least 3 german drivers, I thought there were only supposed to be 2 per nation. Nevermind, Ogier showed them up:-)

I wonder why Ogier was there in the first place? Race of 'champions'?

Of course it all to do with VW. Were all the drivers there champions this year? No.

Ogier was Manufacturers Champion together with Loeb in Citroen;-)

he was s1600 champion.

Ogier needed to be on hand to do a gymkhana in the Polo is nothing else. But also well done on the result!!!

Race of Champions is also not more what it was. And it has probably also to do with VW. Every car driven in competition was VAG supported I think?
