In the world of front-wheel drive two-wheel drive vehicles, Rui Jorge Fernandes shone. The Renault Clio Rally4 driver quickly built up a big lead over the competition and was even able to manage that lead at some stages of the race. The Autocam driver reached the last control 1 minute and 49 seconds ahead of second-placed Hugo Lopes in a Peugeot 208 Rally4, the best in the national championship accounts in this category.

Vasco Silva, a driver who until now had done his best in the regional category, in another Renault Clio Rally4, didn't have enough to fight with his rival and was third, also with some time lost to a puncture. Also in the top five were the Spaniard Unai de la Dehesa and Gonçalo Henriques. Vítor Sá and Miguel Garcia, both in Peugeot 208 Rally4s, had good performances and were in the top positions while in the race.
