Rovanpera and Toyota dominated the event to almost perfection. Team had entered five cars and for a long while held top five places until Pajari crashed and reduced team's result to 1-2-3-4. Rovanpera seemed to win all stages but in the end he didn't win two SSS and one regular stage. Still, his driving was dominant.

Hyundai had a miserable rally. Their car and setup couldn't use new hard Hankook tyres and all three drivers struggled with grip and confidence. Team was quite open about the problem and despite trying various setup changes, things did not improve at all. Adrien Fourmaux (pictured) was fastest Hyundai home at fifth overall.

M-Sport fared even worse than Hyundai, suffering from similar problems but also being least funded team with limited resources. McErlean crashed on final morning, leaving Gregoire Munster (pictured) as team's sole finisher.
