27 October 2016 04:38

Estonia's Ott Tanak posted the fastest time in Thursday's Wales Rally GB shakedown, while newly-recrowned world champion Sebastien Ogier was fourth in the rankings.

Surprise pace-setter Tanak (Ford) was 0.9 seconds quicker in Wales' Clocaenog Forest than second-placed Briton Kris Meeke, with the latter's fellow Citroen driver, Irishman Craig Breen, another 0.1 seconds back in third.

One tenth behind that was Frenchman Ogier (Volkswagen), who last time out in Spain claimed his fourth successive World Rally Championship title with two more rounds of racing to go this season.
