Guthrie ended the loop starting and finishing in AlUla with a 26 second overall lead over Czech driver Martin Prokop with Sweden’s Mattias Ekstrom third.
“We started at the back and (co-driver) Kellon (Walch) killed it with the navigation,” said Guthrie.
“There were a lot of tricky spots, but we had no flat tires. The car was great so we just kept moving all day, really.”
