After an accident by Mads Østberg (Citroën), Jari-Matti Latvala moved up to third place, he then fell back again because of a shock absorber damage in SS 19. After an analysis of the intermediate times, the rally commissioners got a time credit of 21 seconds decided in favor of Ogiers. This was stopped in the accident by Østberg. Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) got through the day without any problems . He finished third overall on Saturday evening.

4th day (Sunday, June 29th)

Sébastien Ogier (Volkswagen) won Poland's comeback in the World Rally Championship (WRC). Andreas Mikkelsen , who had fought a duel for the lead with Ogier on the first few days of the rally, had to pull out on Saturday due to braking problems. He brought home second place safely. In the battle for third place, Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) prevailed against Mikko Hirvonen (Ford) and Jari-Matti Latvala (Volkswagen). After a few incidents, Robert Kubica finished 20th in the overall ranking at his home rally.
