Sébastien Ogier, 27 points behind the leader of the World Rally Championship (WRC) Thierry Neuville, today faces the finest event in Finland, the fastest in the calendar , with the obligation to beat his rival
The Frenchman M-Sport Ford and his co-driver Julien Ingrbadia arrive at this eighth meeting of the thirteen who make up the season 2018, with much thirst for revenge, six weeks after being beaten by the Belgian Hyundai for only 7 tenths of a second in Sardinia.
Ogier is one of ten non-Finnish riders to have won the rally of 1,000 miles.
The Gap native partially supports Ford's efforts since the beginning of the season in the development of the car to reduce its disadvantage. The five-time world champion will have in Finland an aerodynamic evolution of his Fiesta, which includes a new rear spoiler and a new diffuser in order to improve his support.
His teammates, Welshman Elfyn Evans and Finland's Teemu Suninen will not benefit from these developments in this test.
