Welshman Elfyn Evans maintained the pressure on World Rally Championship leader Kalle Rovanpera by finishing a place above him at Rally Chile.
Evans stays second in the table, 31 points behind Finland’s Rovanpera, after the pair finished third and fourth respectively.
Estonia’s Ott Tanak won, while a crash for Finland’s Teemu Suninen ensured Evans’ podium.

Runner-up Evans trails team-mate Rovanpera with two rounds remaining. The Central European event is next from 25-29 October, followed by the finale in Japan from 16-19 November.
Evans won the shakedown and two first-day stages in Chile, but Tanak went on to dominate with 13 from 16 stage wins to win as Belgium’s Thierry Neuville finished second.
