Only four podium changes occurred due to one or more of the original drivers having competed in an M-Word rally, where the original winner in the Rally Sanremo, Renato Travaglia, competed in the 2011 M-Word Bettega Rally. So Achim Mörtl was promoted to winner's position and Luca Pedersoli was shifted into a podium position, but not before he was revealed to have competed in the Bettega Rally too, so the next privateer, Andrea Maselli was third. Then, David Higgins who competed in the Jim Clark Rally prior to 2006 was replaced as third placer in the Rally GB by Brian Lyall. It all went pear shaped when the rally winner Markko Märtin was shown to have competed in the Bettega, resulting in his win being handed to Manfred Stohl.
