Time penalty can't stop Burns
Richard Burns won his third stage of the day to hold onto first place overall in the Argentine Rally
The Subaru driver has managed to stay in the lead for the second successive night in spite of a 10-second penalty earlier in the day for arriving late at the starting line.
He will go into the last day with Subaru hoping he can deliver the team's first World Rally Championship win of the season.
However, he will be pushed hard throughout tomorrow's six stages by the chasing pack, none more so than his team-mate Juha Kankkunen and Toyota's Didier Auriol.
The latter has been sparring with Burns all day and will fancy his chances over the final 132.42-kilometre special stages.
