Ogier Takes 3.8-Second Lead Into Rally Islas Canarias Finale

Rain-soaked stages tightened a Toyota-only fight heading into Sunday.

Overview

  • Ogier leads by 3.8 seconds over Oliver Solberg after Saturday’s six stages, setting up a Sunday showdown on Gran Canaria.
  • Toyota occupies the top five overall places, with Elfyn Evans third, Sami Pajari fourth, and Takamoto Katsuta fifth as Hyundai struggled to match their pace.
  • Changeable rain in the morning cut grip across the asphalt roads and helped Solberg trim the gap, including a 1.4-second gain on the day-ending Moya–Gáldar test.
  • Officials canceled Friday’s SS3 after more than 100 spectator cars were found parked in a protected area, which forced safety crews to clear the route.
  • Lancia driver Yohan Rossel leads the WRC2 class by about 27 seconds going into the final day.
