Volkswagen's Sebastien Ogier ended the second day of RallyRACC Catalunya-Costa Daurada with a healthy lead of nearly a minute over team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala.
Ogier claimed five wins from Saturday's eight stages to build an advantage of 54 seconds going into the final day.
A mistake on the day's third stage, SS12, cost Latvala dear as he lost 50secs when forced to drive with a flat tyre after hitting a concrete block and smashing a wheel.
