Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) is leading the rally in Turkey on Saturday evening, after a slightly disturbed second day for Sébastien Ogier (Toyota) who is now in 2nd place, tied with Sébastien Loeb (Hyundai).

While the Belgian was 1.6 seconds behind Ogier, at the lunch break, after the first three specials (SS3 to SS5), he took advantage of the gearbox problems encountered by the Frenchman in SS6 and finally widened a gap of 33.2 seconds on Ogier and Loeb.

Ogier's main rival for the world title, Ott Tänak (Hyundai) retired in the third special stage, the first on Saturday morning, due to a major management problem, according to his team.
