Timmy held Kevin and the rest of the field off to take the lead at the first corner, from there he took a dominating victory ahead of brother and teammate Kevin Hansen.
The challenge from behind was from Kevin Abbring. The Unkorrupted driver took his joker lap at the start of the race. Although this meant he was stuck behind Krisztian Szabo until the last lap when he took his joker. Abbring claimed his first podium finish on only his sixth World RX event.
Szabo dropped another place when taking his joker to finish fifth behind Enzo Ide, the only one of the two KYB EKS JC drivers to make the final. Juha Rytkonen was the final finisher.

Defending champion Johan Kristoffersson lost out in the semi-final after picking up a double puncture. Also missing out from semi-final two was Attila Mozer.
