Of the other J-WRC runners Pierre Marche was fourth, followed by Aaron Burkart in fifth, Patrik Sandell in sixth and Florian Niegel in seventh. Kevin Abbring took the final J-WRC point in eighth.

The World Rally Championship now continues in two weeks time when the series returns to gravel for the penultimate event, the Rally Japan. The event, which runs from October 30 to November 2, is again based on the country's northernmost island of Hokkaido – but it has a new base in Sapporo and an entirely new route.

Despite Ford's tactics in Corsica, Japan is likely to be an historic event, as Loeb has an extremely good chance of taking that record fifth title in the 'Land of the Rising Sun'...
