Irish pair notch first victory in WRC round

The Irish pair of Kris Meeke and Paul Nagle (Citroen DS3 WRC) took their maiden victory in a round of the World Rally Championship when they triumphed in Rally Argentina, round four of the series.

They finished 18.1 seconds ahead of their Citroen team mates Mads Ostberg/Jonas Andersson with Welsh driver Elfyn Evans, who was co-driven by Daniel Barritt scoring his first podium position after finishing third, even though his Ford Fiesta WRC broke its rear suspension in the final stage. They were three minutes and 39.3sec behind Ostberg.

Series leader Sebastien Ogier, who finished down the order after fuel supply problems, claimed the three bonus points from the final live TV Power Stage.
