Now halfway through the 2013 FIA World Rally Championship, Volkswagen dominates after taking its fifth win in seven events... RALLY ITALY (June 20-23) challenged the drivers with a combination of extreme temperatures and very narrow rocky tracks, while a slippery surface of loose gravel and sand makes the first run on the stages, each of which was driven twice, a precarious passage. But VW drivers Ogier and Latvala acclimatised perfectly to the tough conditions, with Ogier dominating the event from the very first stage on Friday all the way to the finishing line on Saturday, his results among the top three on no less than 14 out of the 16 special stages. Between them, the Volkswagen drivers recorded 13 fastest times in 16 special stages, seven by Ogier and six by Latvala.
