Sebastien Ogier a deschis balul, castigand superspeciala din debut, insa lider la capatul zilei de vineri a fost Hirvonen. Un simplu foc de paie, pentru ca, sambata, Ogier a preluat conducerea de o maniera categorica. Asadar, o noua victorie cu punctaj maxim pentru Ogier, aflat la a patra reusita in Portugalia. In acelasi timp, Volkswagen reuseste al optulea succes consecutiv in WRC.

Mikko Hirvonen a trebuit sa se multumeasca la final cu pozitia a doua, in timp ce al treilea, la mare distanta, a fost Mads Ostberg. Printre abandonuri, de remarcat, din nou, cele ale lui Jari-Matti Latvala si Robert Kubica.

Urmatoarea etapa din WRC va fi Rally Argentina, in perioada 8-11 mai 2014.
