1. leg	Time	Pos.	km/h s/km	Overall	Pos. after
SS1 Kuldīga (Padure) 1 (12.70 km)	6:35.6	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2	115.6 km/h 0.20 s/km	6:35.6	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2
I made one mistake on braking, we missed the hairpin and went straight, so we lost some seconds. It's not easy to go that fast with this car, but you can't wait, you have to run straight ahead.
SS2 Castrol Edge Supercar (Īvande) (17.89 km)	9:07.7	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2	117.6 km/h 0.01 s/km	15:43.3	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2
The grass in the bumper is normal here, sometimes you go deep inside the corner. I'm still struggling with braking with this heavy car.
SS3 Neste (Alsunga) 1 (28.75 km)	14:14.4	3. 3. class RC2 3. ERC 2. ERC2	121.1 km/h 0.51 s/km	29:57.7	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2
I did a mistake on braking and missed a junction. We couldn't reverse because it was impossible to shift the gear, so we lost maybe 15 - 20 seconds.
SS4 Neste (Alsunga)2 (27.40 km)	13:02.1	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2	126.1 km/h 0.24 s/km	42:59.8	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2
Nice stage, we did it without any mistakes. Really enjoyable. I was hoping to be on the podium, but Ralfs's Fabia was faster here.
SS5 Kuldīga (Padure) 2 (12.70 km)	6:37.2	3. 3. class RC2 3. ERC 1. ERC2	115.1 km/h 0.69 s/km	49:37.0	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2
The road is damaged in places, we had to take it carefully. With this car you can't push too hard, you can easily damage the differential or anything. Nothing special, it's always like this here.
SS6 Great Amber (asfalt) 1 (1.67 km)	1:26.6	1. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 1. ERC2	69.4 km/h	51:03.6	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2
SS7 Great Amber (asfalt) 2 (1.67 km)	1:24.6	1. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 1. ERC2	71.1 km/h	52:28.2	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2
Amazing, we set good times with this heavy car.
2. leg
SS8 Vivus.lv (Podnieki) 1 (10.29 km)	5:42.2	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2	108.3 km/h 0.46 s/km	58:10.4	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2
Not a big push because we are in reversed order and it's more slippery than yesterday.
SS9 Liepāja Iedvesmo (Tebra) 1 (17.07 km)	8:51.6	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2	115.6 km/h 0.31 s/km	1:07:02.0	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2
I think we are controlling our position. On the rallycross track we jumped little bit more, the landing was heavy on the nose.
SS10 NPK Expert (Vecpils) 1 (23.05 km)	11:30.8	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2	120.1 km/h 0.36 s/km	1:18:32.8	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2
We are doing good job and good pace, at the same time I try to go smoothly and drive relaxed. It's good today, we are having fun, the tyres are working well.
SS11 Vivus.lv (Podnieki) 2 (10.29 km)	5:36.8	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2	110.0 km/h 0.53 s/km	1:24:09.6	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2
Siim is fast driver, respect to him. The road is destroyed here with lot of stones, you need to drave carefully. I hit one big rock with the rear wheel thinking we got a puncture.
SS12 Liepāja Iedvesmo (Tebra) 2 (17.07 km)	8:46.5	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2	116.7 km/h 0.42 s/km	1:32:56.1	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2
We are playing safe game now, there is no point to risk, still we are trying to go fast.
SS13 Blue Shock Race (Vecpils) 2 (23.05 km)	11:19.4	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2	122.1 km/h 0.11 s/km	1:44:15.5	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 1. ERC2
I'm happy with our weekend, we had consistent pace. It's first finish without any problem after very long time. Thanks to my team and to my sponsors. I'd like to claim to second position in the championship, we will do Cyprus.
