Other info
Wedding Bells is identical to 2014 and the name comes from an old gold mine, so named because a miner took his bride there for their honeymoon. Classy. Anyway, it is fast but narrow and much of the grass and bushes have been cut back so vision is better. The first part is under trees, but it opens out later and the surface is primarily clay.

Info
"It's okay. I'm really happy for this event. Our feeling here is good. An interesting fight with Nasser. We will see how we go next year."
"Not an easy win but I'm very happy. The 25 points here will be very significant for the championship."
"So far an amazing season - the best I have ever done. And this rally win is very significant. For sure it was the most difficult rally to open the roads on. On paper it was impossible to win but I was determined. It's the perfect way to secure the title."

Quickest on the Power Stage, winner of the rally and now winner of the 2015 drivers' title!
"I'm happy to have been so consistent and to have made no mistakes. Maybe on Friday and Saturday morning I was missing a little spark to fight for the victory. It wasn't enough. Seb has done an amazing job. He has been better than me."
"An okay stage - hopefully we can get some points here. I'm happy with my performance. I think it was one of my best. We deserve more than fourth. It's not what we came for."
"I've enjoyed my weekend. It's been good to find the rhythm over a whole weekend. Everybody knows there have been a few mistakes creeping in recently, so I'm very happy. And hats off to the Volkswagens."
"We were a little bit lucky in there but it's been a good weekend. Okay, we didn't get the podium we wanted but we're happy with our pace. Some exciting times ahead and reasons to celebrate tonight with the Kiwis and the team."
"We had some issues in the stage - the wipers wouldn't turn off - but we got through okay. Two nearly perfect days and today was all about the points. We're closing on Mads in the title race."
"We ran wide and clipped a bank here, but all okay. It's been a tough rally. My first time in this type of car here. For the future very important."
"I’m quite happy with my performance. It was difficult with the cleaning 1st 2 days and today it was just about keeping our position."
"I enjoy a lot. A very nice start but, okay, after that not so good. Now we wait for Corsica. A nice rally and one I like a lot."
"Really tough weekend. When we get back to the UK we need to understand what was wrong so we don't have another rally like this."
"I'm happy. A very good experience to make my debuts here on gravel. A big surprise to start the rally."
