At the end of Saturday afternoon, Sami Pajari reels in securing his third victory in World Rally Championship with Hayden Paddon and Elfyn Evans following him.
Sami Pajari remains at the top of the overall classification and had a moment in Stage 13 when he overshot a junction.
Hayden Paddon holds the second place at Rally Paraguay and is behind the first Pajari for 23,2 seconds as the Kiwi wanted to avoid to take unnecessary risks. If he manages to finish second overall, then it will be his second podium with Hyundai at Rally1 era.
Elfyn Evans does the 1-3 for Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT and was not able to find an answer to Adrien Fourmaux's pace.
The Frenchman managed to decrease his gap from the third Evans from 31,8 to 13,1 seconds and was the fastest driver in all afternoon stages today apart from Stage 16 where he went straight in a corner and off the road.
Josh McErlean is still fifth overall and lost some seconds in Stage 15 when he outbraked himself on the same place as in his first pass from "Hohenau".
Oliver Solberg has closed his gap from the M-Sport Ford driver from 35,6 to one second with one stage to go for completing the second day of the rally in Paraguay.
Jon Armstrong moved up from the tenth to the ninth position overall at the end of Stage 14 while he is behind the eighth Gus Greensmith for 12,6 seconds.
Sebastien Ogier, Thierry Neuville and Takamoto Katsuta are outside the top ten with the last one having an overshoot in a junction into SS15. Finally, it must be mentioned that Ogier was the fastest driver in Stage 16.
