Oliver Solberg made last-minute swap to Rally1 car and scored an impressive and unexpected win. He took lead from second stage and held it all through the rally, winning half of the rally's stages and seemingly unfazed about rain in final day. In addition of being his first win, it was also Toyota's 100th win.

Home favourite Ott Tanak (pictured) had speed, his Hyundai had reliability but unfortunately, that only was good for second place. Tanak mostly fought with team-mate Neuville, they traded places every stage in Saturday but finally bested Belgian.

Rovanpera was fast and fastest of scoring Toyotas but even so, he only managed to finish fourth. His points score was immensely helped by good Sunday points and PS win but speedwise he disappointed. Complained about lack of traction and couldn't get best out of Hankook tyres.

M-Sport's Ford Pumas were out of their element in fast roads of Estonia. Martin Sesks was fastest Ford but he was not nominated to score so best scoring Ford was McErlean (pictured).
