The Citroen motor rally driver Sebastien Loeb has won all six stages on the opening day of the Rally of Corsica to stay on course for a fifth consecutive world title.
The Frenchman has finished the day with a 32 second advantage over Ford's Mikko Hirvonen.
Hirvonen made the most of seeing Loeb's teammate Dani Sordo retire for the day on stage three after damaging suspension when his Citroen clipped a wall.
Fellow Ford driver Francois Duval is third, 34 seconds off the pace.
