Toyota Gazoo Racing’s Elfyn Evans will lead Rally Chile Bio Bío into Saturday morning after receiving an updated notional time for the rally’s opening stage, based on the time he set when the stage was repeated in the afternoon.
His Hyundai rival Ott Tänak initially held a slender 0.4sec
advantage following Friday but the decision handed the lead back to Evans with a
margin of exactly three seconds now separating the pair.
The decision was announced via a clerk of the course
notification on Friday evening, upon receiving a request from Evans' Toyota team to consider
the reallocation of the notional time he received for the morning's interupted
stage.
Upon further examination team-mate Sami Pajari and Adrien Fourmaux also
received updated times, neither of which had an affect on the overall
standings.
