It took place between March 30–April 1, 2007 and "consisted of 18 special stages." 61 drivers finished the "rally." And the winner was CitroĂ«n's SĂ©bastien Loeb, followed by, Subaru's Petter Solberg and CitroĂ«n's Dani Sordo.
All Ford Focus RS WRC 06 drivers were given five-minute time penalties, "because the glass used in the cars' rear side windows was 0."5 mm too thin.
