Reuniting with his co-driver Luis Moya, the pair piloted the Polo R WRC which served as the course car on the Republic of San Marino event. Spaniard Sainz performed spectacular jumps and wide drifts on the tarmac event, which featured over 200 participants over the 220km, multi-stage course. Other former World Rally Champions and legendary motorsport drivers taking part included Björn Waldegard, Juha Kankkunen, Harald Demuth, Per Eklund, Sandro Munari plus Volkswagen representative Jacky Ickx.
