Intro:

Sebastien Ogier continues to lead the charge on day two of Rally Finland.

Script:

Sebastien Ogier continues to lead from the front as competitors wind their way through the forests of Finland.

However, the Frenchman only had a narrow advantage over his VW team mate and local hero, Jari-Matti Latvala.

After seven stages, last year's winner in Finland is trailing the world champion, Ogier, by just 3.3 seconds.

Kris Meeke boosted his chances of a final victory after he had an incredible run through stage seven of the race.

The Northern Irishman claiming the fastest time of the rally to move to within eight seconds of Ogier.

Meeke's Citroen team mate Mads Ostberg is also in contention lying in fourth.

Elfyn Evans on the other hand wasn't so lucky when his challenge came to an abrupt end when his car hit a rock and spun.

The Welshman suffered damage to his suspension and with no midday service on Friday, the M-Sport driver steadily slipped down the standings.
