I'd be updating this more if I had a laptop currently, but I've managed to hijack one!

Loeb leads going into the final leg, while Ogier is proving that the Polo has pace.

An epic battle for 3rd between Sordo and Novikov has been raging over the past few days, expect it to go down to the wire.

Latvala, in the second Polo, managed to take over 30 seconds out of Hirvonen on Stage 11 to take 5th.

Beyond Hirvonen, we have Juho Hanninen, in a Fiesta, followed by Ostberg in the second best placed of the M-Sport Fiestas, followed by Bryan Bouffier, in a Citroen DS3.

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS:




Currently no UK TV deal, so this will have to suffice. I was hoping for live stages in HD this year.. Perhaps I'll just have to wait for later in the season, or 2014..
