Driving a Skoda Fabia S2000, Mikkelsen led from Thursday night’s opening special stage in Cardiff Bay and never looked truly threatened. “It’s a great result and when Ketomaa went out the pressure came off and I was able to take it easy,” said the 21-year-old from Norway.

Behind, Pons adopted a low-risk strategy throughout the event to take the points he needed to secure the S-WRC title spoils in his Nupel Global Racing Ford Fiesta S2000.

“It wasn’t easy and I had to be careful on each stage even though I didn’t have to push,” said Pons, who was eventually classified in third place behind Irishman Craig Breen. “This title is very important for my sponsors and also for me and my team. I am very happy to win.”
