Nasser Al-Attiyah (Toyota Hilux) complète le nouveau podium provisoire à près d’une heure de la tête de la course en devançant Denis Krotov (BMW X3) et Andrey Rudskoy (G-Ford Bar). Le pilote du Qatar World Rally Team a encore perdu près de 19 minutes après avoir perdu du temps au niveau du troisième checkpoint en rencontrant notamment des soucis de transmission.

On the other hand, it was disillusionment for Harry Hunt who was leader at the start of the day. The PH Sport driver who had already received a ten-minute penalty at the end of the third day for not having fitted two spare wheels in the second and third stages had a nightmare day by damaging his suspension from the 53rd km. The Briton is several hours behind schedule after also being delayed by oil leaks.
