Sebastien Ogier wins Rally France 2011 in a dramatic fight for the first place with the MINI driver Daniel Sordo who remains at second position.
Petter Solberg was excluded from the results as his Citroen DS3 was found to be under the regulation minimum weight for a World Rally Car. Petter’s car was 1196 kg 4 kg less than the minimum of 1200 kg.
So Mikko Hirvonen moved to third place as the teammate Latvala remain forth.
1. S. Ogier 3:06:20.4
2. D. Sordo +6.3
3. M. Hirvonen +3:26.6
4. J. Latvala +3:30.3
5. D. Kuipers +6:42.0
6. H. Solberg +7:08.3
7. M. Ostberg +7:58.3
8. K. Block +8:25.5
In the drivers championship Sebastien Loeb and Mikko Hirvonen are with equal points of 196 while S. Ogier is third with 193 points.
 

Sebastien Ogier continue to lead two stages to the final. Daniel Sordo said:
"I went a little bit off line in the gravel part and lost a little bit of time. It’s okay, I will do my best but now it will be difficult because of the tyres."
Sordo is using the soft tyres while Ogier is with the hard tyres.
Ford is still at 4th and 5th place and it seems very difficult to fight with the Mini and Citroen.
1. S. Ogier 2:57:18.2
2. D. Sordo +5.9
3. P. Solberg +1:17.9
4. J. Latvala +1:32.8
5. M. Hirvonen +3:19.5
6. D. Kuipers +6:22.8
To the end of the rally remain two stages Vignoble de Cleebourg 2 10.61 km and the power stage Haguenau 2 of 4.2 km.
