Toyota’s Sebastien Ogier has secured his record-breaking sixth WRC Rally Portugal win, finishing 7.9s ahead of Ott Tanak from Hyundai.

The rally featured five different leaders navigating the challenging gravel roads near Porto and Matosinhos. Ogier maintained his lead over Tanak on tumultuous Saturday, eventually sealing back-to-back WRC wins. Thierry Neuville claimed the final podium spot, solidifying his lead in the drivers’ championship standings. Jan Solans triumphed in WRC2, clinching his first victory in the class.
