Mikko Hirvonen leads Ford team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala by just 5.3secs after the first loop of stages in New Zealand.

In the Production WRC class, Marco Baldacci has made the most of problems for title contenders Andreas Aigner and Juho Hanninen to take a comfortable early lead. The San Marino driver is already 12secs up on Fumio Nutahara.

Championship leader Aigner, however, suffered two punctures on the first stage to lose almost eight minutes, although Hanninen is remarkably only two seconds quicker after suffering an off early on too.
