He eventually took the victory by over a minute, after Mikko Hirvonen and then Petter Solberg, the only two people who seemed able to take the fight to the Finn, hit problems.

Manfred Stohl secured the runners-up spot, 25 seconds up on ‘Hollywood’, while Jari-Matti Latvala was fourth for the Stobart squad. Xavier Pons, Chris Atkinson and Daniel Sordo came in fifth, sixth and seventh, while the final point went to Francois Duval.

There were a number of retirements, the most noticeable: Hirvonen, who retired post-SS3 due to roll-cage damage. Red Bull’s Andreas Aigner also failed to finish after crashing out, as did Andreas Mikkelsen.
