Ogier remains untouchable at Wales Rally GB

Despite three scratches in a rowOtt Tänak (Ford), its delay on Sébastien Ogier (Volkswagen) is still more than half a minute on the evening of the second stage. The four-time world champion only needed one course (SS15 at Aberhirnant) to suddenly gain seven seconds from the Dmack driver who had struggled to regain a handful of seconds.

Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) conserve l’avantage sur son coéquipier Hayden Paddon qui pointe à plus de 12 secondes du podium provisoire. Kris Meeke (Citroën) complète le top cinq en étant désormais trop loin pour inquiéter les premiers pilotes Hyundai. Le Britannique a dû rester prudent après avoir utilisé ses deux roues de secours ce matin suite à plusieurs crevaisons.

Dani Sordo (Hyundai) reste solidement installé à la 6e place en précédant Mads Ostberg (Ford). Le pilote M-Sport pourrait bien perdre une place demain puisque Jari-Matti Latvala (Volkswagen) est revenu à sept secondes. Stéphane Lefebvre (Citroën) et Éric Camilli (Ford) complètent toujours le top dix avec 43 secondes d’écart.

Esapekka Lappi (Skoda Fabia R5) retains the lead WRC 2 with almost a minute ahead of his compatriot Teemu Suninen (Fabia R5). Pontus Tidemand (Fabia R5) came within a dozen seconds of second place in the category.

The final stage will consist of 52km timed spread over three special stages covered twice. The day will begin at 9:28 a.m. with the 7,7km of Clocaenog (be careful of the change to winter time tonight).
