The Prodrive Hunter crew had to defend an overnight lead of 2min 41sec over Portugal's Joao Ferreira and the second quickest time on the day's stage enabled the Qatari to move 12 points clear of Carlos Sainz in the unofficial FIA World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC) Drivers' Championship standings and lift Nasser Racing by Prodrive into contention for the W2RC Manufacturers' crown. Al Attiyah had a winning margin of 2min 49sec.
