Thierry Neuville is 1″7 behind Sébastien Ogier’s time at the finish.
Sébastien Ogier sets a new best time in 18'11″4, but the Frenchman complains of a loss of power at the end of the special.
Jourdan Serderidis is still there and continues his Safari Rally at his own pace. With his private Ford Puma, he set a time just 2 minutes behind that of Seb Loeb.
Craig Breen puts an end to his ordeal in this special by arriving at very low speed: the Irishman finishes 1'33″9 behind Loeb's time.
First reference time signed by Loeb: 18'18″0, 4 seconds slower than the best time this morning.
Craig Breen suspects a puncture on his car but continues his effort. The rain is getting closer to the end of the special.
