Finn fights back to take bronze and win 10 of the 17 stages.

"I didn't drive well this morning, the stages were narrow and I wasn't confident," he said in the final service. "Things were much better in the afternoon - I built my confidence up and started getting full sideways movement in the car. I went 50 and 27 seconds faster in this afternoon's stage 15 and 16 re-runs - I had a really good feel for the car and I wish the rally was starting now!

"Earlier in the event, some of the turns were so tight the car barely got through – it wasn't easy and driving in this rally for the first time with new pace notes has been a real learning curve.

"Before Greece I need to sit down with my mechanics and make sure these settings are now stored for future rallies - it's important to learn and absorb everything, from car settings to cornering techniques."
