Local favourite and past winner Neuville battled with Tanak until he went off on SS15 and left Tanak (pictured) to carry on to win. Evans kept pressure up but ran out of distance to actually catch him.

Elfyn Evans drove well, even leading for a while until he had to yield to Tanak. Evans was forced to complete one dry stage with wet tyre on as he had punctured more suitable dry tyre. Later he picked up a 10 second penalty and ironically, Tanak's winning margin was less than this penalty.

Greensmith finished 19th and was highest placed M-Sport Ford thanks to just one puncture. Breen rolled on second day, having been clearly fastest of team's cars and Fourmaux, who fought well against Solberg, went off on penultimate stage.
