Thierry Neuville: I was flat out on that last stage, it was incredible and I can't believe the result. I pushed really hard, it was such a nice battle over the weekend, so intensive because the IRC is such a competitive championship. The car felt good, I am so happy. I hope this win won't be the last for me.

Jan Kopecky: "Andreas certainly deserved to win here, because he was fastest of all of us. On the other hand, we had good luck, one of the things you need in rallying. We are in the lead of the IRC Championship now, which is very positive before the final stages of this series."

Andrew Coe: We are absolutely delighted to be supporting Colin McRae Vision for 2011 - it is a wonderfully moving and noble charity and we sincerely hope our event can help raise further awareness and support for the tremendous work it carries out.

Jan Kopecky: It was a nice fight with Freddy until the last metre of the last stage and we enjoyed it a lot. Many people were much more nervous than me, I was quite relaxed and felt no pressure. I have to say it is my best win and we come back in the championship now but there is still a long way to go.

Juho Hanninen: It's been a good weekend with no punctures and no mistakes. The car was working thanks to the team, really there were no dramas. I was trying to stay on the Tarmac and avoid the punctures. I might not have always given maximum on the stages because of this but I knew it would be a long rally. I used my brains this weekend.

Thierry Neuville: "This is an incredible result after such a long rally. I never imagined I could win in the IRC so soon and never dreamed that I would win here in Corsica. But Nicolas and I have done a great job together and the car has always been good. I'm very happy."
