Sebastian Ogier and his co-driver Julien Ingrassia are the winners of the first WRC race in Croatia after beating team-mates Elfyn Evans and his co-driver Scott Martin in a tense fight for just six tenths of a second.

After it was confirmed last year that Croatia Rally was included in the calendar of the World Rally Championship (WRC), today they published the stages location and schedule which will be a real challenge for top WRC drivers. From April 22 to 25, one of the most attractive sports events will be held on the local roads of Zagreb, Karlovac and Krapina-Zagorje counties.

Renault's F1 driver Carlos Sainz will perform on the last stage of the first race of the new WRC season in Monte Carlo in the new Megane R.S. where his father celebrated three times in his career.
