Four-time World RX champion Kristoffersson had made it four wins from four on Saturday, and crossed the finish line first on Sunday, only for victory to be handed to Gronholm when he incurred a 10-second penalty for contact with Timmy Hansen.
As usual, Kristoffersson had to rebound from setbacks to take Saturday honours in his Kristoffersson Motorsport Volkswagen. He suffered a double puncture in his progression race, but bounced back to win his semi-final. The other semi went to the sister KMS VW of Ole Christian Veiby, who had sustained a puncture of his own in heat one when he brushed the wall on his joker lap, and as a result crashed after the finish line.
