The top 10 WRC drivers of 2014
Sebastien Ogier was champion again, but it was a tougher fight, some new stars blossomed and Hyundai won a rally. DAVID EVANS assesses the 2014 WRC pack
Finally, Volkswagen stuck to the script. Last year was about learning (and it won as well). This was the year for winning. Good. Glad Hannover got that straight. Might have gone a bit far with the winning thing, though.
Drivers' title, won; manufacturers' title, won; 12 from 13 rallies, won.
This year definitely had a theme to it. It was the World Rally Championship's version of the 1988 Formula 1 season. On the face of it, such dominance can look predictable and monotonous. It was neither.
