France's Sebastien Ogier won Kenya's Safari Rally on Sunday as Toyota swept the top four places for the second year in a row in the most gruelling event on the calendar.
The win was Ogier's third from five starts so far this season but he had to fight hard for it after his overnight lead of 16.7 seconds was halved by reigning champion Rovanpera on the final day's opening stage. He then cracked his windscreen on the final stage after a dust-choked penultimate run left him 9.2 seconds clear of Rovanpera.
Rovanpera extended his championship lead over Hyundai's Thierry Neuville to 37 points after seven of 13 rounds, with the Belgian finishing eighth but bagging some precious bonus points with the fastest time in the final Power Stage.
