 Loeb Could Lose Win @ 01:09 PM - Sebastien Loeb reads at the top of the results, but if Citroen's appeal to drop his penalty is unsuccessful Makinen will win and become the most successful driver in rally history : 1. Loeb 3.58.44.8 2.Makinen +45.9s 3. Sainz +2m01.6s 4. C McRae +2m43.9s 5. Gronholm +2m53.3s 6. Solberg +3m15.5s 7. Panizzi +4m06.0s 8. Burns +5m02.3s 9. Delecour +6m21.6s 10. Gardemeister +7m28.3s

 Quote From Tommi @ 12:48 AM - "There’s no hurry at the moment. We are just cruising. We slowed down a bit on the second stage (SS13). I’ll try and go a bit faster on Turini, but there’s no point to push on the last one. It’s not really the same feeling now with the mistake from Citroen, I was 100% ready to fight and do it the proper way."

 McRae Pipps Marcus SS14 @ 12:31 AM - 1. Loeb 3.46.41.4 2.Makinen +45.6s 3. Sainz +2m01.8s 4. C McRae +2m41.7s 5. Gronholm +2m46.5s 6. Solberg +3m26.2s 7. Panizzi +4m13.5s 8. Burns +4m51.9s 9. Delecour +6m02.9s 10. Gardemeister +7m17.3s

 Panizzi Infront of Burns SS13 @ 10:03 AM - 1. Loeb 3.24.12.4 2.Makinen +44.6s 3. Sainz +2m17.8s 4. Gronholm +2m43.6s 5. C McRae +2m57.8s 6. Solberg +3m53.8s 7. Panizzi +4m33.3s 8. Burns +4m40.2s 9. Delecour +5m40.7s 10. Gardemeister +6m54.4s

 Loeb Penalised 2 Minutes! @ 08:38 AM - Rally leader, Sebestien Loeb, was overnight penalised Loeb 2 minutes for changing the tyres on his Citroen before it was driven to parc ferme. That drops him to fifth, however, Citroen are appealing and the results of the day will apparently read without the penalty added until the appeal.
