Evans led from the start and due to very short route and resultant sprint nature of the event, his lead remained quite small. Despite that, he won most stages and was never under real pressure from others, becoming fifth non-Nordic winner of the event.

Tanak was back after his huge accident in Monte Carlo. He couldn't match Evans' pace but battled with other Toyotas of Ogier and Rovanpera, eventually finishing second in very un-Swedish conditions of no snow.

Again Lappi was fastest of the two M-Sport Fords and again by considerable margin. He was just barely faster than Neuville, with whom he traded seconds throughout the rally.
