The two MINI JCW Buggies were able to take one stage victory each and three of the five possible stage victories went to the X-raid MINI JCW Team. After finishing second on stage two, Despres and his co-driver Cottret took their maiden stage win in their first race in a buggy of the X-raid MINI JCW Team. It was to prove a difficult rally for Sainz and Cruz. The buggy is still currently in development, and technical issues resulted in the Spaniard losing time. He did show what could have been with a stage win on the final day.
