Rally ho for winner Gronholm
12 April 2012
Marcus Gronholm overcame some niggling problems on the final day of the Wales Rally GB to record his seventh success in this year's World Championship.
The Finn, a two-time former winner of the world title, went into Sunday's concluding four stages with a lead of one minute 18.8 seconds and extended it to a victory margin of 1min 35.5secs over Austria's Manfred Stohl.
Norway's Petter Solberg, who had been seeking a record fifth consecutive win in this event, finished third, a further 19.7secs adrift.
