The rally was won by Alexey Lukyanuk for him to lead the championship, and it continued his winning streak from the last event of the 2015 season. The WRC rally-winner and current Ford works driver Mads Østberg retired early on his ERC début after having led from stage one. In the latter stages, the field was headed by a non-registered local competitor, Enrique Cruz, who won this rally outright, so Lukyanuk won the ERC portion of the event. The WRC-2 winner was Wojciech Chuchala. The WRC-3 winner was Lukasz Habaj. The ERC ladies winner was Emma Falcon.
