Jari-Matti Latvala successfully takes the third position in the overall standing after SS Mina Clavero / Giulio Cesare 2. Latvala is first in the stage while Novikov finished second at +8.3 seconds.
Dani Sordo moved to 8th position overall ahead Andreas Mikkelsen and Martin Prokop.
Novikov: We were trying to push hard, we tried the best that we could do and that is how it is.
Latvala: It is a big fight going on, I drove as much as I can with this car. If Evgeny Novikov is faster than I am, then there is nothing I can do about that. Everything was running too hot, other than that it was a good stage.
In the last stage SS 14 (Power Stage) Latvala continue to push as set the fastest time.
Results in Power Stage:
1. J. Latvala 12:57.2
2. S. Ogier +1.4
3. M. Hirvonen +2.5
In the Power Stage Dani Sordo lost the 8th position by Andreas Mikkelsen.
The 9 times world champion Sebastien Loeb finish first in Argentina followed by Sebastien Ogier.
Loeb:  It is great emotion to be here to win. It was a tough rally, but incredible atmosphere. Nice to feel the support of the fans this weekend. I need to do something else. For sure it was a great rally for us. Perfect drive, no problem.
Ogier:  It has's been a good weekend for us. We had a lot of problems and we are happy to be at the end. After five rounds it looks quite well for us. We had a few problems this morning, yet we still manage to finish.
Novikov: I had half-spin on stage and almost went off. After then I was not pushing and that is the way it is. I am disappointed to be honest.
Hirvonen: Nearly spin in a couple of places.
Sordo: I had problem with the gearbox in this stage. Third gear, I take it a little bit slowly as I don't want to break the gear.

Overall Results:
1. S. Loeb (Citroen DS3 WRC) 4:35:56.7
