Toyotas were again on league of their own, the only battle they faced was within the team. Ogier (pictured) took lead from second stage and held it throughout the rally. Solberg pressured him but went off on penultimate stage when he was just couple of second behind Ogier. Evans battled with Pajari but got ahead on second day and as he won both PS and Sunday points, he took championship lead.

Initially best Hyundai was Sordo, but Fourmaux (pictured) got ahead of him on damp morning of Saturday loop. He steadily pulled away but never was able to challenge Toyotas ahead of him. On Power Stage, he got jump start penalty which robbed him few PS points.

M-Sport Fords were running at slow, steady pace. Armstrong was quicker of the two but had mishaps, including a lucky off on SS14 where he lost two minutes but got back on road. Thus McErlean (pictured) finished ahead and on points.
