Grzyb retired on first stage with technical problem. Therefore the fight for the title was only between Habaj and Bouffier. Habaj won the title by just one point thanks to the victory on power stage (the last stage of the whole season)! Otherwise there was very poor entry field on this event and only 15 cars finished...
Final championship standings
1. Habaj 137
2. Bouffier 136
3. Grzyb 119

They don't count points from every rally. Only X best counts. I don't know exactly how many but in fact Bouffier had more points than Habaj before Arlamów if You would already skip the worst results.
Season was divided into two halves, worst result from each one was not counted.
On Saturday we have last event in PL this year, traditional Barborka rally in Warsaw, less than 20 SS kms...

Is he going to do the ERC as planned or not?
Rajd Swidnicki is over. Grzegorz Grzyb won his second rally this year in a good style. He was leading the rally since SS4. Jakub Brzezinski was also fast, but couldn't keep the pace of Grzyb and finished second. It was another good rally for the new Skoda Polska team. Miko Marczyk managed to beat many more experienced drivers and finished third overall. So it's 1-2-3 for Skoda again. Filip Nivette went off the road on SS3.

1. Grzegorz Grzyb / Robert Hundla (57:57,8s, Škoda Fabia R5)
2. Jakub Brzeziński / Kamil Kozdroń (+13,0s, Škoda Fabia R5)
