Finský pilot Marcus Grönholm, který  až do víkendové  Irské rallye vedl letošní  šampionát, havaroval již ve čtvrté rychlostní zkoušce, kde vyjel z trati a utrhl přední a zadní kolo svého fordu a musel odstoupit z průběžné třetí pozice. Jeho  pronásledovatel Loeb nakonec nezopakoval chybu z předchozí Japonské rallye a v Irsku   jasně vyhrál.

Je tak na nejlepší cestě za obhajobou  titulu, i když v Británii to bude nepochybně hodně   náročné...... V produkčních vozech nakonec slušně skončil náš Štěpán Vojtěch, jenž  se propracoval  až na pátou příčku v PV a dvacátou celkově.

Druhý český pilot Martin Prokop, který měl jet ve stejném  týmu s Vojtěchem, nakonec do rallye vůbec neodstartoval. Jeho vůz totiž neprošel technickou přejímkou.
