One of the oldest meetings of the World Rally Championship returns with two legends of the sport in the entry list: Sébastien Loeb (M-Sport Ford) and Sébastien Ogier (Toyota). Les deux Français se retrouvent pour un nouveau duel, près de quatre mois après un Monte-Carlo d’anthologie remporté par l’Alsacien.
