Local driver Ott Tänak came third for Hyundai, with Rovanperä's Toyota teammate, Welshman Elfyn Evans finishing second.

Finnish driver and WRC drivers' championship leader Kalle Rovanperä and his team, Toyota, dominated the slippery and wet conditions at day three of Rally Estonia, and the Finn and his Welsh teammate Elfyn Evans go into the final day comfortably in the lead. Local hero Ott Tänak is in third place for Hyundai, unchanged on the position he occupied at the start of the day.

Ott Tänak came in fifth before the home crowd in the opening stage of WRC Rally Estonia. Tänak had hired a rather famous co-driver for one pass in the morning test – none other than tennis star Anett Kontaveit.
