Despite finishing second overall, Giandomenico Basso has won the European title for the second time after 2006. The Abarth works driver from Italy did not have to push too hard in the last day as he was already insured to be crowned European Champion after the bonus points he received in the first two legs. Third but quite a long way adrift, Michal Solowow completes the podium, the Pole finishing runner-up in the title chase.
Former Swiss Champion Grégoire Hotz won the 50th edition of the Rallye International du Valais. At the wheel of his Peugeot 207 Super 2000, he dominated his rivals, domestic and foreign, posting the fastest time in almost all the special stages. Officially Swiss Champion since Friday morning, after the retirement of his last rival Ivan Ballinari, was Florian Gonon.
Despite gearbox problems that earned him heavy time penalties, Frenchman Bryan Bouffier brought his Citroën C2 R2 Max home in fifth position, ahead of the Renault Clio R3 of Alessandro Bettega / Simone Scattolin. The Italian was at his turn penalised and had to be content with sixth, ahead of another C2 R2 Max, that of up-and-coming Belgian Thierry Neuville.
