Sébastien Loeb (Citroën DS3) leads Rally Argentina in front of his teammate Mikko Hirvonen after the second day.

Citroën asked both drivers to maintain their positions, and told Hirvonen not to attack his teammate before the second loop on Saturday.

Behind the Citroën pair, Dani Sordo stands in third position aboard his Ford Fiesta RS, but the Spaniard was 1.46 minutes behind Loeb before the last day, while Mads Ostberg (Ford) was already almost four minutes behind.

Six special stages are planned for the last day of Rally Argentina, including the 4.15-kilometre long superpecial.
