Sainz poised to take lead

Carlos Sainz took more time out of Juha Kankkunen on SS13 of the Rally Finland.

He is now less than 2s behind the Finn. The gaps are coming down all the time and with just 8s covering the top five (Kankkunen, Sainz, Burns, Gronholm and Makinen,) anything could happen right now.

Colin McRae remains unable to shake off Harri Rovanpera, the pair only 0.5s apart, while Didier Auriol's advantage over top privateer Sebastian Lindholm has now dwindled to just 1.9s, with Toni Gardemeister just 3s further back in 11th place.
