Final result

1. Neuville (Hyundai)
2. Tanaka (Ford)
3. Paddon (Hyundai)

2nd places Latvala (Toyota) crashed on the final stage.

Day one leader, Mikkelsen scored two punctures early on day two and only carried one spare. Which is common practice as a weight saving and car balance mechanism.

Paddon has had a tough year and his confidence is way down. But at the end of this event he was less than 60 seconds behind the winner and all event was ahead of world champion, Ogier.

So he's not far off the pace.

Thanks for that Trev. I'm sure Hyundai will be happy.  :goodjob:
