In fourth place was Petter Solberg (Citroën), who lost more than a minute after a puncture. Ford announced the Hirvonen Fiesta was beyond repair. Loeb was world champion for the eighth time in a row.

Between the link between the 18th and 19th special stages, the new world champion Sébastien Loeb was involved in an accident by a wrong-way driver.
