Kris Meeke will take a lead of 14.5 seconds into Friday’s final loop of three stages.
The Peugeot UK driver completed a clean sweep of the middle section’s three tests by edging out Jan Kopecký (Škoda Fabia) by one-tenth of a second on the 11.83-kilometre Teror stage.
Kopecký still holds second place overall with team-mate Juho Hänninen 7.4 seconds behind in third.
Bruno Magalhães was third fastest on the stage as he continues his recovery from transmission failure on stage three.
