Toyota’s Sami Pajari edged closer to a third consecutive World Rally Championship victory in Paraguay, while a charging Adrien Fourmaux applied pressure on Elfyn Evans in the fight for third. Pajari increased his 11.9s overnight lead to 24.1s over Hyundai’s Hayden Paddon.
Heavy rain was expected to hit the stages but instead storm force winds and a deluge of rain struck the service park causing damage to several team tents. While cooler temperatures lowered the risk of tyre delaminations and punctures that plagued Friday, constantly changing grip conditions remained a challenge.
