Jari-Matti Latvala stretched his Acropolis Rally lead to over a minute by the end of day two in Greece.
With second-placed Dani Sordo electing to play it safe in the rough terrain and guarantee a runner-up spot, Latvala was able to pull comfortably clear without pushing too hard.
The Volkswagen and Citroen will go into Sunday’s decisive four stages separated by 1m04s.
Thierry Neuville retains third in the best of the M-Sport Fords, having also opted for a conservative approach.
His team-mate Nasser Al-Attiyah continues to resist Andreas Mikkelsen for fourth.
Every time the Norwegian has got close, either Al-Attiyah has raised his pace or Mikkelsen has hit problems, including a puncture on the day’s final stage.
