Toyota’s Sami Pajari has extended his Rally Paraguay lead to 22.8s as the anticipated heavy rain avoided the stages and instead struck the service park causing damage to several team facilities.
Heavy rain was expected which prompted teams to set up their cars for wet conditions, and it appeared to be the correct call as strong winds and heavy rain struck the service park on Saturday morning. The winds wreaked havoc, felling several team tents and even moving some of the sturdier temporary WRC team structures. Amazingly, the rain didn’t arrive on the gravel stages to the surprise of the crews.
