Sébastien Ogier retains his leadership position at the Central European Rally

Having taken the lead in the Central European Rally at the end of the morning loop on Saturday, following two errors by Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) in SS11, Sébastien Ogier (Toyota) is still leader after 14 out of 18 special stages on the routes shared between the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. Thanks to his two additional scratches in SS13 and SS14, the Frenchman has very slightly increased his lead over his closest pursuer, Ott Tänak (Hyundai), now relegated to 5.2″ before the last four specials on Sunday morning.
