Latvala hits the front as leaders slow
Jari-Matti Latvala moved into the lead of the Rally New Zealand heading into the final day after Mikko Hirvonen and Sebastien Loeb eased off the power during today’s penultimate leg.
The BP Ford driver climbed from third to first as team-mate Hirvonen and reigning world champion Loeb backed off to avoid being first on the road for tomorrow’s stages.
