France's Sebastien Ogier, in a Volkswagen Polo, won the Rally of Sardinia on Sunday finishing ahead of New Zealand's Hayden Paddon and Thierry Neuville of Belgium.
The two-time world champion Ogier claimed the 28th victory of his career and his fourth this season to reinforce his lead at the top of the world rally championship standings.
Ogier won the four-day rough road event by 3min 05.4sec over Paddon, the long-time leader in a Hyundai i20 claiming a career best finish of second with Neuville third at 4:22.5 behind the Frenchman in another i20.
Winning the final live TV Power Stage Ogier claimed three bonus points, with Jari-Matti Latvala taking two and Andreas Mikkelsen one to earn a clean sweep for Volkswagen Motorsport.
"I'm very happy because I didn't expect such a result here," said Ogier. "My times gradually got better without me having to force too much.
"Everything went to plan. The car was perfect and so were the weather conditions.
"Hayden Paddon had a great race. He is well deserving of second place."
