He beats second-placed Mitsubishi Mirage Proto driver, Maxime Abondio by six minutes 48 seconds.

Old guard Fane Bakary co-driven by his youthful daughter Fatimata in a Mitsubishi Evo9, managed a fourth place, as rookie driver Gueyes Malick closed in fifth.
Crews will wake up to the repeat of the 10.9km Parlementarie stage that was driven as stage one on Saturday, before jointly driving five other stages in a total competitive distance of 98.78km.
Surviving crews will then head for the day’s only service before driving their cars to final control, parc Ferme, where podium finish celebrations will be held.
