Sebastien Ogier gave VW their first WRC victory for the Polo R in just their second outing. For Sebastien Loeb instead, Rally Sweden will remain somewhat of a "bête noire" (or should it be a bête blanche?), his only winwas in 2004 and it was obviously one trophy he hoped to score in this his final abbreviated season.
2013 Rally Sweden:
Pos Driver Team/Car Time/Gap
1. Sebastien Ogier VW 3h11m41.9s

On a side note, Petter Solberg won the historic portion of the rally in a rwd Ford Escort MKII with his wife Pernilla as navigator and ...mechanic!
