Draw
[edit]Drivers
[edit]The Champion of Champions winner was decided by a knockout tournament, split into two halves - one (upper half) consisting of international racing drivers with the other being the rally experts and 'those with more experience of off-road driving'.[14] The preliminary rounds and 1/8 finals were decided by a single heat, with the Quarter-finals being decided by 2 heats, the best overall time as a tie-breaker. The Semi-finals were the best of 3 heats, and the Final was the best of 5.
