The former Irish National and Tarmac champion led until he slipped off the icy forest track and beached the M-Sport car.

The rally was won by Stephen Petch (Ford Fiesta R5), who finished 16 seconds ahead of the Ford Focus WRC of David Wright. Eaun Thorburn (Ford Fiesta R5) was 14 seconds further behind in third.
