Route

The rally features a short format schedule, which lasts only three days. [11] This leads to the change of road order rules—Saturday's first loop would start as championship order, while the second loop would revert to the standard reversed order, which usually comes into effect on the second leg. [12]

Junior World Rally Championship

Despite the fact that Robert Virves and Sander Pruul failed to win a stage, consistent pace helped the local crew to the junior class. [18] However, the local crew suffered a puncture on Sunday, which handed the victory to the Latvian crew of Mārtiņš Sesks and Renars Francis. [8]
