Citroen Total team driver Sebastien Loeb has won the Vodafone Rally Portugal and extended his unbroken run of victories to all four of the WRC rounds run so far this year.
The win was the 51st in Loeb's record breaking WRC career, and puts him in a commanding lead of this year's drivers' championship, with a perfect maximum score of 40 points.
Finishing as runner up to Loeb for the third time this season, Hirvonen netted another eight drivers' championship points and remained Sebastien's closest rival on a total of 30.
Third place went to Loeb's Spanish team-mate, Dani Sordo, who played the perfect back-up role, taking his second podium this season in his C4.
