Former national champion Valentin Porcisteanu, winner of the Moldova Rally in 2019, finished 5th.
Sebastian Barbu is the new leader in the general standings with 187.6 points, followed by Andrei Girtofan - 186.2 points, while Tempestini has 164 points. The best seven results from the total of nine scheduled stages are taken into account.
