For first two days, Tanak battled with Ogier, alternating in the lead several times. That changed after Neuville went off as Hyundai asked Tanak to drive safely and so gap between the two began to open up. But on final day, Ott was not only faster but inherited the win after Ogier suffered puncture on PS.

Ogier had favourable running position and shot into lead from the word go. Tanak was chasing him continuously and tyre damage on first stage of second day prevented Ogier from getting away. After Tanak backed off, Ogier's lead grew but with dramatic puncture on final stage, Ogier finished just 0,2 seconds behind.

Again Fourmaux was better of the two M-Sport drivers but he suffered puncture on SS3 and then stopped with electrical fault on next stage. Thus Munster (pictured), who drove carefully and conservatively was ahead in the standings at the finishing line.
