Hyundai driver Thierry Neuville earned his first ever World Rally Championship victory of his career. It was also the first rally of the season not to be won by either the Volkswagen of Sébastien Ogier or Jari-Matti Latvala as they had both crashed out during the event. It was the first non-VW victory since the previous year's German Rally won by Citroën's Dani Sordo, ending VW's streak of twelve consecutive WRC rally victories dating back to the 2013 Rally Australia. It was also Hyundai World Rally Team's first victory in the WRC having returned to the sport in 2014 after an eleven-year absence. Neuville became only the second Belgian rally driver to win a WRC event; the other being François Duval when he won the 2005 Rally Australia.
