It was a qualified opposition that Johan Kristoffersson faced in Höljes.

In addition to the Finnish WC driver Grönholm, Andreas Bakkerud was also present as well as the Swede Anton Marklund, who also has routine from the WC series.

Grönholm went almost clean in the race, when he also won his semifinal and had the best position in the final.

He also had two heat victories from the basic round.

Johan Kristoffersson also won his semifinal, which he won before the Hungarian Krisztian Szabo and the Belgian Enzo ide.

But in the final, Grönholm was the strongest and showed the rear wheels for Kristoffersson, and Jamaican-born third Fraser McConnell.
