Rally Chile: Tänak and the Toyota Yaris WRC conquer a new rally in Chile

Having led the #rally since the second stage on Friday morning, Tänak took a lead of half a minute into the final day, but with the two drivers behind him pushing hard in their own battle, he couldn't relax completely through the opening three tests. He was then 1.3 seconds faster than anyone else in the Power Stage as he and co-driver Martin Järveoja clinched overall victory by 23.1 seconds.

Team-mates #jarimattilatvala and #krismeeke also performed well in the Power Stage, setting the third and fifth best times respectively. Meeke moved from 10th to eighth position overall on the final day, but was classified 10th after receiving a one-minute time penalty because the crew removed their smashed windscreen in the control area before SS8 on Saturday. Latvala just missed out on overall points in 11th. The team remains second in the manufacturers' championship, reducing the gap to the lead to 29 points.
