Rally Argentina: Sebastien Ogier leads after superspecial

Sebastien Ogier established an early Rally Argentina lead by winning Thursday's Parque Tematico superspecial

The field all completed two head-to-head laps of the course, with Volkswagen's World Rally Championship leader beating Citroen's Mads Ostberg by three seconds as the duo put themselves first and second overall after their run.

VW has three cars in the top five, as Andreas Mikkelsen and Jari-Matti Latvala were third and fifth quickest, split by M-Sport's Mikko Hirvonen.

Thierry Neuville was the fastest of the Hyundais in sixth, just ahead of his shakedown-pace-setting team-mate Dani Sordo.

WRC2 runners Jari Ketomaa and Nicolas Fuchs ended the stage in the overall top 10, with Robert Kubica and Elfyn Evans back in 12th and 13th overnight.
