Raliul Târgu Mureș, held at the start of May, was stopped at halfway stage due to unexpected snowy weather, and only half of the points were awarded. The champion at the end of the season was Valentin Porcișteanu, last year's runner-up, who had won four of the eight rallies held. Second place in the overall standings came Bogdan Marișca, while third came Dan Gârtofan. Previous year's champion Gergő Szabó finished fifth, behind Marco Tempestini fourth.
