Petter Solberg (Citroen C4 WRC) set the best time in SS12, 4?6 ahead of Sébastien Loeb (Citroen C4 WRC). The Norwegian, who is looking to keep his position to benefit from a clean road on Saturday, is trying to get as close as possible to Sébastien Ogier (Citroën C4 WRC), third, without overtaking him. The Frenchman from the Citroën Junior Team is attempting the same operation with Jari-Matti Latvala (Ford Focus WRC), wishing to join him without beating him. As for Sébastien Loeb (Citroën C4 WRC), he is now trying to create as big a gap as possible on Jari-Matti Latvala and his other pursuers, so as not to be caught on Saturday. He is 5”4 ahead of Latvala and 11”6 over Ogier. The objective is to achieve a gap of 30 seconds thanks to the last special, 41 km long.
