00:00All eyes were on Sebogier and Elven Air Force for Super Sunday at Rally Chile.

00:06Just six seconds separated the Toyota pair at the top of the leaderboard,

00:09both with a golden opportunity to capitalize on frustrating rallies for their title rivals,

00:15Kalarov and Perra, Oyt Tanek and Thierry Nürnberg.

00:18Tanek's retirement on day one took him out of contention for maximum points,

00:23but the Estonian was back for an all-out assault on Super Sunday,

00:27making his intentions clear from the very first corner of the day.

00:31He's running third on the road already, look at that, straight away Oyt Tanek showing his intent,

00:37carrying massive speed into the right-hander and the left-hander there.

00:41Hampered by road position but giving absolutely everything to salvage what he could,

00:46Tanek was quickest of the Hyundai drivers on stage 13,

00:49with Auger and Evans almost inseparable ahead of a recovering Robin Perra,

00:53who couldn't bridge the gap to his compatriot Sami Piyari after suffering a puncture on day one.

01:00The style at Finn had maintained an impressive advantage over Robin Perra

01:04and was steadily closing his deficit to Thierry Nürnberg in fourth place.

01:08Piyari needed to find less than nine seconds to match his best result of the season

01:12and had a fire in his belly to prove himself against the reigning world champion.

01:16Piyari's pace completed a top five lockout for Toyota on stage 14.

01:41And the pressure was piled on Nerville as his buffer was cut to three seconds on the penultimate test.

01:48The Belgian unable to find any more speed from his I-20 N.

01:52It's very frustrating but it's very frustrating for the whole team.

01:57And it keeps on going so it makes it even worse.

02:00But I'm happy with my driving and that's the only thing I can do at the moment.

02:06Despite setting 1-2-3 on stage 5, Hyundai's weekend had unraveled.

02:11The team struggled to find the setup needed to match Toyota's speed

02:14and title hopes were fading for both Nerville and Tamek.

02:18Aaron Formos sunned up the team's frustrations as he soldered on for a solid P3 result.

02:24You know the song, Gimme Gimme Gimme a Man after midnight?

02:29Yesterday I was singing Gimme Gimme Gimme traction after midnight.

02:34The Toyota crews were dominant.

02:37Spearheaded by a tit-for-tat battle between Evans and Augier

02:40trading stage wins throughout Sunday morning.

02:43Evans held the gap to Augier until stage 15

02:45as the Welshman's rubber began to give way

02:48and the eight-time world champion delivered another masterful performance in tyre management.

02:54Tamek's search for super Sunday points was splintered by an overheating engine

02:58and his championship hopes looked severely dented.

03:01But the Estonian still had the motivation

03:02to push right to the very limit on the Wolf power stage.

03:07Again, big moment.

03:09Big sideways moment for Tamek there.

03:11Piari took the battle for fourth right to the wire

03:14producing one of his best drives of the season

03:16to briefly secure bragging rights.

03:19But Nerville responded, holding the fastest time

03:22until Augier delivered an absolute masterclass on the Wolf power stage.

03:28Here we go then, the last couple of corners.

03:30What a crucial nine kilometres this has been

03:32and what an incredible run and I tell you what,

03:34that is incredible!

03:36This is why he's an eight-time champion!

03:38More difficult weekend in Paraguay.

03:40We had to fight a bit more.

03:41Some little issues sometimes in the morning, I was not really well awake.

03:45But we can be pleased the way we end up.

03:47Seb Augier wins Rally Chile,

03:49securing maximum super Sunday points in the process.

03:52Elvin Evans finishes second

03:53and Adrian Formo completes the podium.

03:57Nerville is best of the rest in fourth place

03:59ahead of Piari,

04:00followed by Robin Perra,

04:02Takamoto Katsuta and Gregoire Munster.

04:04In the Drivers' Championship,

04:06Augier dethrones Evans at the top of the leaderboard

04:09and heads to the next round with a two-point advantage.

04:12Robin Perra loses ground to his teammates

04:14while Tanakh and Nerville take a hit

04:17in their search for another WRC title.

04:21I hope you enjoyed it.

04:22I hope you enjoyed it!
