Intro:

Sebastien Ogier remains in the lead after keeping the chasing pack at bay during day two of the the Rally of Great Britain in Wales on Saturday (16th November).

Also, Robert Kubica crashed for the second time in as many days and he may miss the competition's conclusion on Sunday.

Script:

Sebastien Ogier maintained his overall lead after day two of the the Rally of Great Britain in Wales on Saturday.

But Robert Kubica stole the show for all the wrong reasons.

A misunderstanding with co-driver Michele Ferrara caused the WRC rookie to hit a corner at full speed and roll off the road.

That's two crashes in as many days for Kubica; he may miss the competition's conclusion on Sunday.

Ogier began Saturday's third leg with a lead of 20.1 seconds over his team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala. He maintained that advantage despite a determined challenge from the Finn.

Elsewhere, Andreas Mikkelsen and Latvala won all of the day's five forest stages, with Mikkelsen fastest on the first two and Latvala taking a hat-trick in the afternoon.

Thierry Neuville is third on his last outing in a Ford Fiesta RS before a switch to Hyundai for 2014.

The Belgian had a largely trouble free-day, but was kept under pressure from Mikkelsen behind.
