Sebastien Ogier led Oliver Solberg by 3.8 seconds in Rally Islas Canarias heading into Sunday’s finale. The reigning champion started with an 8.9-second lead but faced pressure as conditions became challenging. Ogier aims to maximize his performance in the season's fifth round to secure a victory.
Sebastien Ogier is leading Toyota teammate Oliver Solberg by just 3.8 seconds as Spain's Rally Islas Canarias heads into its Sunday finale. The Frenchman, and nine-time world champion, initially had an 8.9-second lead, but challenging conditions eroded his advantage as he faces four crucial stages.
The mid-rally service saw Ogier's lead narrow to 5.3 seconds due to the wet and tricky conditions. The competition is fierce, as highlighted by Ogier and Solberg posting identical times on stage 13, underlining the high pace and competitiveness.
Looking beyond the top two, Welshman Elfyn Evans secured three of the six stage wins and holds third place, with Finland's Sami Pajari and championship leader Takamoto Katsuta trailing. Ogier, competing part-time this season, remains focused on maximizing his performance and increasing his win tally.
