Not happy for sure, for the moment I completely don't understand the grip. Sometimes there is no grip at all, sometimes it's very good, so I'm driving carefully. | ||||||

Not so good, I lost some time with pacenotes in the forest. But we are going step by step, it's OK. | ||||||

We were driving in dust, so I drove carefully. We lost some brake points, but we are going better and better and I think the second loop will be much better. | ||||||

New section was very slippery. I didn't get used to the new rhytm, sometimes I was braking too heavy. | ||||||

This stage was not so good, there started to appear some ruts, the surface is getting rough. But we had a good drive. | ||||||

Very funny stage. Very twisty, nice for spectators. Good idea to organize stage like that. | ||||||

The grip is poor, I have problem even on braking to stay on the road. I hope the second loop will be enjoyable. This is not lucky rally for us, yesterday we were driving in dust of our Italian friend, but it's like it is. | ||||||

Again fastest time for the moment! Horrible, believe me. It was much faster, there are few lines from safety cars but sometimes it completely disappear. | ||||||

We control everything, the stage was little bit destroyed, we didn't expect that. It's quite rough, but no problem. | ||||||
