The Estonian did not think it would be possible to challenge Toyota in Finland.
Hyundai has had a hard time making a competitive car.
Now he is being chased by three (!) Toyota drivers.
Third is Elfyn Evans, 19.3 seconds behind while superior WC leader Kalle Rovanperä is 21 seconds off the lead.
SVT expert Jonas Kruse is impressed by Tänak's progress in the forests around Jyväskylä.
- It's been a long time since I saw a driver with that attack!
Tänak really pushes the limit in every turn.
- He is not comfortable in the car, but drives around problems out of sheer will.
I am impressed and surprised that Tänak is still on the road.
His comment after the finish says it all, says Kruse.
Tomorrow, SVT broadcasts from two routes.
08.00 in SVT1/Play and 15.30 in SVT2/Play.
