| "I'm really focused on driving clean and tidy. Not a lot of grip. The road is okay in the open wide sections but I was too tentative in the narrow parts where it's getting soft and sandy." | ||||||

| "The car just stopped again and we couldn't start it. We did everything we could, checked every wire. Then it started. An intermittent electrical problem. That's our rally ruined now and I'll be sweeping the road tomorrow. We have to stay positive and try to make the most of the opportunity to test. I can't buy any good luck at the moment." | ||||||
