SS15
It was a tough rally. Amazaing stages, amazing atmosphere. Massive learning experience for me, I'm really happy to finish here.
"We learned a lot, it was a school for gravel driving, and the result is very good."
"We had so much pleasure, no problems, I would like to return next year to Poland."
I'm happy that I'm in the finish of the rally without any big problems. It's OK.
"It is podium finish, it is quite cool for the moment. But I think we can improve a lot."
"Really good weekend for us. We tried on the limit, we are happy to be here. Tom did really good rally, we will be back and stronger in Latvia."
"We really need this, we were focused to get to the finish, it feels good."
We had a lot of issues with the car, so it's hard to say we had a good rally. But today we had a good run.
It was difficult after yesterday, but today we had great expreience on gravel. I'm sorry for the team for yesterday. I now know, where we can push.
"It was great rally for us, we won our class in Polish championship. Thanks for the whole Subaru rally team for the whole season, it was great."
We made some setup changes for the afternoon, now I know what to do for the next year. I'm happy to get to the finish.
It was really hard, overall I wasn't on the limit, but there were places where we were pushing much. We had some problems, it was difficult with the tyres. I'm happy to be in the finish, I'm sorry for Jari's problems, he was really fast.
"I pushed really hard, in one corner we went too flatout. I think it was good weekend, we enjoy that here. It was full attack."
It's amazing weekend, it's our first international podium. We learned so much, we started from tenth place but we improved all the rally.
"It was quite tough last stage, we did several mistakes as we lost the concentration, but we are here. We have very important points and experience from gravel."
I don't know what to say, to be honest. It's great to be on the finish line. It was learning on gravel and the championship title fight as well.
"Unbeliavable fight, very nice. We tried to push. OK, we lost to Habaj, now we have to wait for Marczyk."
"At the moment, I can not go faster. In the beginning it was really slippery, then I did my best. It was great rally for us. Now we can only wait what Grzyb and Mikko will do. It was great weekend with great car."
I'm very happy to be finished, to be here. It was our first gravel with R5, it was a a pleasure to drive here. Thanks to my team.
I'm happy and I'm not happy in once. Very nice to be in the finish of this hard rally, now we will wait who is the winner of the Polish championship.
The milage is important, yesterday I made a mistake and then I focused to get back to the rhythm. Today we are here, it's important for the future.
SS14
"So slippery in there, really wet. Amazing stage, massive experience. We take it easy."
Lot of rain and lot of mud, it was very slippery and we had a spin. It's all about experience.
If we are here, then it's great. We spun two times, but it is OK.
"In last section it was really slippery, we had a problem with traction."
"There was a lot of mud in some places, but no problem. One more to go."
"Everything good, I tried to attack, but from the middle of the stage it was completely wet, on the tarmac was hard to find the braking point. I think the fight is over now."
"It was completely dried when we started, then it became brown and then completely wet, we were surprised. We pushed, but no risk."
Actually we didn't catch the rain, we went after. It was wet and slippery, but we were lucky.
It was raining, we tried to puhs and we enjoyed the stage. We are OK, the car aslo, I'm happy.
"From the middle of the stage we had a lot of rain and it was slippery, we had to be careful."
"Slippery everywhere, Jari was late in time control so we have some gap."
"I think the game is over for us, we have a penalty for being late."
"Interesting, the conditions are getting worse and worse every minute. The grip was slippery, but still predictable."
"Very difficult, lot of rain, quite tricky one."
That was hard for me because we had rain. My experience is low and I'm happy to be here. The grip is OK on gravel, but on tarmac it's hard for me to find the right rhythm.
I tried to push, I wanted to be clean, we didn't do any mistake, we will see what we can do, one stage remains.
"It was raining all over the stage, we were switching on the wipers and it was difficult to keep the concentration."
"There are cleaned lines, I enjoyed a lot. We just need to keep the position and to find reasonable speed for the last stage."
"It was good stage for us, maybe the speed was not so good I expected, but we had good fun."
"We pushed hard now, no rain in there."
SS13
It's very tough day.
Very good, our pace is improving stage by stage. We met some rain in the beginning of the stage, which didn't make mo confident, but then it became better.
"OK, the rain disturbed only little, it was very slippery. We had a lot of fun again. Happy to be here."
"We are enjoying it, now we have enough kilometers to drive this car with joy."
"Everything OK, there are big gaps around us so we are keeping steady at the moment. We had rain all the stage."
"We tried to be fast, we are happy to be here. I these are the most difficult stages of the rally."
"I thought there would be ruts, but there was smooth ahrd surface, I enjoyed a lot."
"Finally it looks like there is fine everything, good run."
"It was much better now, maybe we slide a lot in the start with new tyres. It was cool."
"Fast stage for us, we have improved our pacenotes so now it was OK."
"We made some setup changes. We almost went off in the first corner."
"I think we could be faster, we have not good tyres. We are surviving on old used tyres."
It's OK, really funny. We had the flat tyre probably from the first corner.
It's fine, no problem. Really good, the road is clean now, really enjoyable.
"Of course I tried, no mistakes, good start to the afternoon."
"Very very nice, but we should be clever, we should be fast."
It's not good for us, we lose. Two stages left, it is a big battle.
I'm trying my best, I'm driving as fast I can. We did some setup changes, great experience with this car.
It's good for us, I really enjoyed the stage, so far the best stage in this rally. A enjoy it, the car works perfectly.
I don't want to push too much. Now the drive was not perfect.
"I went off the road, the car rolled once, we then continued, no problem."
SS12
"I think this is the rally where every driver wants to get through and have it over. This was definitely the most difficult stage of the rally."
It's the most difficult stage of the rally, so fast, so narrow, lot of dust.
I'm happy because this stage was really twisty and slippery, we went off two three times. We are happy to be here with the car in one piece.
"We lost some time in this stage, few kilometers before the end we lost brakes, so we need to get to the service."
"We had a big moment in the stage, but we mad it through it. It was tricky, but we are here."
"We had a big moment, almost crashed into the tree."
We try to be careful, just continue, stay focused and keep driving. I'm not pushing that hard today.
"The car was moving a lot in this stage. In some places I could push, in some not, it was strange little bit."
Really nice stage, but I'm losing the concentration little bit. I'm really tired.
"This stage was good, we did one mistake and had to reverse. But overall our pace was good."
"This is the best I can do today. I have no competition."
For me again it's suprise. We started with cold tyres because the stage was delayed, we went really wide in the beginning. Then it was better and better, but in narrow section between trees we were not pushing.
We know what is the problem with the car, but nothing serious. I think we didn't make good tyre choice this morning. But I enjoy it.
From the start we had dust in the car and we realized the door wasn't closed properly, we tried to close it in one fast section, weird feeling.
"I enjoyed it a lot, lot of fun. Nice stage, very fast, we had clean run. We want to try catch Chris."
Good stage for us, but tricky. It was easy to go out of the road. We had one moment, we stayed on the road, but in some corners it's too fast for the tyres.
"I did mistake, I went little bit off the road and lost some time. We have to be better on the next one."
We have quite nice battle with Grzyb and Marczyk, it's about who becomes the Polish champion so it's nice to be part of it. This stage is quite dangerous, we took it safely.
I'm enjoying this battle and also driving this car on gravel. Tomasz has better tyre choice for today, but we are keeping our position.
I think it's not my rally, I'm not happy about the result. We can't say it was slippery, of course there was some lose gravel, but guys before us were faster.
"On this stage it was tricky, in some places the grip was OK, but in most places no grip at all."
SS11
"Everything OK, the time is good. Very smooth stage."
"This one was the most difficult, very long and easy to lost the concentration. So many junctions."
Not the greatest stage, I hit a bale. I can do better, but I'm here to learn.
"It was really slippery, scary and enjoyable. Interesting."
"We are like in Safari, after yesterdays crash there are some holes so lot of dust inside."
"It was OK."
"We tried to have decent speed, the cars in front of us are pushing very hard."
Amazing battle, we tried to push. But at the beginning we lost maybe five seconds because on the beginning there was a lot of stones and rocks and we didn't want to get a puncture.
"We took it easy, this was little bit better, the surfauce was clean. I did one mistake."
"We have a hole in the radiator."
It is OK, but I wasn't driving for few years and now we are competing every weekend so I'm getting quite tired.
"It was OK, in this stage it was more slippery. I think the tyres are little burned."
"This stage was OK, we were maybe too slow on the beginning on big bumps, we will be faster in next loop."
It's OK, the grip is good. Not very confident, I just wanted to drive steadily.
"Surprise, clean line, but no pushing. I just drove comfortable."
"Everything is OK."
It's my first time driving on soft tyres so I'm getting used to that. Lot of sideways, we are having moments all the time.
I'm not sure, it was a clean run, but I was maybe too cautious.
"This stage was easier for us. It was wider so it was easier to put the car into the corner."
"We tried to go in good line and tried to push, but we did many mistakes."
"It was OK, just the grip was changing a lot. In general we had a smooth run."
Nice battle, but to be honest I'm still little but struggling with my pace. Anyway this stage was much better than the previous one.
"It was more slippery than the previous one, I was too careful about my driving. Second loop will be better."
"Everything is OK, only lose gravel everywhere."
SS10
This stage wasn't good for me, I hope next stages will be better.
"It was slippery and narrow, I tried my best."
"My mechanics and team are the best, the car works perfectly. The time is good, but we can improve."
"We started this morning like yesterday, we enjoy the stages and want to come to the end."
"Little bit slippery, we were losing some time in junctions. We also had a moment in one corner where we went on two wheels. But we will try."
Early morning, we need to warm up. I think this stage was good, the pacenotes worked well. We will try to catch Tom, I'm really focused on the battle..
"The car is fixed, we are happy to drive."
Today it's much better than yesterday, I'm more confident. We will push for the rest of the day. The time is good.
"Really nice stage, today much better feeling, the grip is good."
It worked well, we woke up here. It's good, no problem, good stage for us.
"We are through, this one is really tricky. Now we will see what happens."
It's difficult, I expected Jari would be faster, it wasn't clean run for me. Not easy.
"Everything is OK."
"Really disappointing, I overshot one really tight hairpin. This is weird stage."
"Some cuts are very deep. We did one small mistake, but so far it is well."
"Clean stage for us, but it was hard to find the confidence. It will be a long day."
"We did big mistake in the start, we went off and lost few seconds, but then it was better and better."
"We will see what happens behind us. But we had clean run, only some small mistakes. Good start of the day."
Lot of lose gravel, I'm not completely satisfied with my performance today, I took it too easily.
"We are leacning the road, but we have lot of fun. What can we do, we now drive for spectators."
"Yesterday I was called "gardener", today I'm "cleaner". It was very slippery, but we will try."
SS9
I'm rally happy to be at the end of the first day. We gained great experience on gravel, it is my fourth gravel rally, so it is good, especially on these fast stages.
"We missed a junction, I lost the braking point. But it was a good day, we have all four wheel on the car and we are still improving."
"Today was a good day, but in this stage I did two big mistakes and lost a lot of time."
"Good day for us. We had some problems, but we were learning these fast stages and I enjoyed it. We are still waiting for problems of other guys, we will see tomorrow."
Overall really really good, I think we lost some time here, but it's about tyres I guess. Everyrthing worked well during the day.
Today full attack on 100%, but on this stage I wasn't happy, I lost three or four seconds in one corner. Tomorrow I want to push, I want to win. I think rtomorrow stages will be better for us.
Very good day for us, we had maybe two small mistakes, but nothing happened to the car. With Subaru it's hard to fight the R5 cars, but we are trying.
It was beautiful day, we enjoyed these fantastic stages. I' happy we finished the rally without problems.
"Quite nice day, but lot to improve."
On the last stage I tried to do my best, but it wasn't good, I stopped the car on the hairpin. In want to go home and get ready for tomorrow.
"Tyres are completely destroyed, we are happy we are in the finish now."
It is difficult. It's really easy to crash here. We will see tomorrow how it is going.
"Very good day for us. My experience with driving on gravel is much bigger after today. If we have the feeling tomorrow, we will push."
Quite OK day after my little mistake on the first stage of today. We then found a good rhythm, we didn't take many risk and we are here.
It's very very difficult to get used to these stages. We had small issues with the car, I did couple of mistakes. Maybe tomorrow we will go better.
It was really enjoyable day, this rally is amazing. Good to be on the podium over night. I'm still learning, but I want to stay in front of Fabian.
Incredibly fine day. We tried to drive better, every kilometer we pushed hard. These stages are beautiful, I'm like to be here, we are now on the second place in the Polish championship and it's the most important now.
"It was very good all the day. I wash pushing in this stage to have a good position for tomorrow but I did lot of mistakes."
"It was really enjoyable day, we are now in fight with Kasperczyk, but our tyres are quite worn. We are learning, no big drama."
"The car very well, we had a lot of fun and enjoyed it all the time."
"Really really happy to finish the first day of poalnd Rally without any big problem. Lot of new experience."
SS8
It's really tough. You need to have exact paconets on gravel.
We are starting to enjoy it. I'm now understanding how to move the car on gravel, I love and enjoy it.
"Always losing to the front. Our tyres are quite worn."
"Worse feeling than in the morning. The time is better, but we have problem with damper so we drive carefully."
"I just go easy without any mistakes. My front tyres are quite bad."
We enjoyed it, but it's difficult to fight with Opels. I'm really happy.
I think this rally is very fast and it's something new for me. It's great to be here.
Now I know something more about the car and I can go faster, but it's a lot of sliding and it's something totally different.
"Very nice, we are getting more and more comfortable, driving fast is not so easy."
"It was nice, but we lost the concetration after the last stage, but we are still in the game"
"Our front tyres are worn a lot, we just drove carefully, not pushing. We wanted to save them for the last stage."
"Clean run, nothing special. I really enjoy it, amazing rally."
"This stage was hard for me in the first loop, now we tried to get safely over the finish line."
"Quite happy, we drive step by step, without too big risk, everything is OK."
"This one was good, no mistakes. I tried to push in some places, I did few mistakes, but the pacenotes are good and we learn a lot."
This rally is unbeliavable. I really enjoy it. I can't believe the pace, Nikolay and Jari run incredibly fast, massive respect to them.
"Everything working well. I did three mistakes, I was too fast and went wide in slow corners."
"We landed on the front on one jump, but nothing special. Nice stage, very difficult actually."
"We had a big jump in the middle of the stage and I was worried if the car is OK. But amazingly it is good."
Very difficult, very fast and narrow stage, we didn't find the perfect rhythm, but the time is good.
"This stage was really clean, no misatkes, so so enjoyable, I really really enjoy it."
SS7
"We had to change the puncture on the rear. Lost a lot of time."
"Very difficult stage, very fast. But for us it was good, we are improving."
It was OK, we are losing some time, but it wasn't bad stage.
"Fantastic stage, so enjoyable. But I think our front left damper is damaged and has no oil."
Especially this stage was very good in the second loop, there was good grip. We ran over the crests flatout, great fun. We try to go safe where it's needed, the car is great.
It's amazing stage, we drive it very very fast and flatout, we enjoy it. But we need to push little bit more to be on the front.
"Everything is fine."
Second loop I'm little bit more awake and I have more fun.
"We were out of the road and hit a tree, but the car is OK. I lost a lot of seconds."
"Nice, I drove safely. But we had fun."
"I think it went quite well, only one mistake."
"We are quite happy, I like this stage, second time it was easier."
"It was OK, the feeling was good. Car was good and the most important is that our pacenotes are correct."
It's OK, but we went off in the first kilometer.
It's OK, nice and smooth stage. We just keep improving driving the R5 car in such stages. This rally is crucial for us.
"I tried to push, I do what I can. The road conditions are better now for sure. I now understand what is the Tanak jump."
"No ruts, on this stage is clean road, with stable conditions and good grip. It is a pleasure."
"Good fun. It's completely fine for us, we are improving and doing stages without any mistakes."
"In the end we had little dust from Paulo, but no problem, it was fast stage, we enjoyed it."
"Only one mistake by me, I lost the concentration. Unfortunately we lost maybe 15-20 seconds, but fantastic stage, we love it."
SS6
"On tarmac section I lost the rear and hit a hale bale. We finished the stage and tried to repair, but we can not contine. Sorry for the team."
Really tough, in some places there were big rocks so we werent't pushing everywhere.
"The time is OK. We hit something in the middle of the road, maybe something is broken."
"Good stage, much easier to drive for me for the second time."
"The time is OK, I was little bit careful at the beginning, we had a big moment."
"Second time though was better, I have now idea how the car is moving and so on."
"Not that good in there, I will have to push."
I don't know, the time is better, but other drivers are faster, we have to push a lot.
"We expected worse condition of the road, but actually it was not so bad. In general it was OK."
"I feel the confidecne is coming, I enjoy driving this car on gravel, it's fun. There were some ruts, we will see on next stages."
"Still very slippery, some corners quite destroyed. Sometimes it is difficult to slide buceause there are big ruts. But we enjoy it a lot."
"We had some ruts now, but it was easier, we enjoyed it."
SS5
"I think it was good morning for us. We have big penalty from yesterday so we just can wait for problems of other guys, but it goes well today."
"It has been OK, but at the moment we need to push little bit harder. We can do better."
I'm really sorry for Martins. But we enjoy this rally, it's so fast and flowing, of course there are tricky places with ruts, but we enjoy it.
I'm happy and I'm looking forward for the second loop.
This is good for us, this stage was pretty easy, i think it's good. In the second loop I hope to be faster.
Everything is fine. Really nice to drive this car, it's big different from car which I usually drive.
"This stage was the first one we had really good feeling, bud I made one huge mistake and had to reverse. But the car is OK, codriver and pacenotes also."
Maybe it wasn't perfect morning for us, but now I feel better and I look forward for the next loop. I'm happy at the moment, we are having a good fun.
In the first corner I was near the crash and I don't know why. No grip at all, then it was better and better. I don't know.
I think it's OK, I believe in the afternoon we can improve.
It's hard for me, I think I can go faster, but at this moment it's not necessary to be on the limit.
"Not a good day, after our accident in the morning I had to re-build the confidence step by step."
"Really difficult, you have to be precise, where to place the car in the corner. We are still learning, but OK, step by step."
"Unbeliavable, in the middle of the stage a huge deer jumped over our car."
It was quite difficult, we didn't find the proper grip, we will see in the afternoon.
We are happy, we try to push what we can. But I'm doing lot of mistakes. We have to clean our driving.
We can't complain. We avoided one problem before the first stage and since then all went well, the tyres were good although I was affraid one time we had a puncture. This stage was good.
"We touched the barrier at the end, but OK, we are here. Now we expect new race and new experience with all the ruts in the second loop."
"We have not the best start position, but the car worked really well and we look forward for the afternoon."
We have a problem with a fuel pump. For sure we will fix it, we are here and that's the most important.
SS4
"The pacenotes are crucial here, the speed on stages is high, it will be long rally."
"I hit a tree on the previous stage, but luckily we could continue. Now we lost the concentration because Johansson had a big crash, we had to stop. Luckily they are OK."
The feeling is much better, it's quite fun.
"Now it was OK, but I heard wrong pacenotes and went off the road. Sorry for Martins."
Good, so far it's OK. The time is not bad.
It's really rough stage, maybe we have a puncture.
I enjoy it, but it's difficult to catch the Opel crews. I think the time is not bad.
This one was pretty twisty, we had quie a big jump. But it's OK, the car is good.
It's really nice to drive this car on gravel. It's OK, we are learning.
Little bit better. We lost the concentration a bit. But it's getting better and better.
I'm still happy, it was nice stage for me. I felt better here, we made some mistakes, but we are OK and the car is also OK.
This stage was really difficult, big jumps, I didn't expect that. I couldn't push after that, we have to check the car.
"Maybe we could be faster."
"We landed too hard on the tarmac jump, I lost a confidence a little bit."
Quite OK, we drove slowly. On the previous stage I lost the confidence, it's going back step by step.
"I missed a junction and had to reverse. Maybe 15 seconds lost. We are trying to learn."
"Everything is OK. We had a big moment on one jump."
The time is nice, we are in front of Habaj, that i simportant. Before the stage I thought the time wouldn't be good.
"This stage was quite difficult, I have a problem with finding the concentration."
I really enjoyed the stage now. It's getting better and better. Sometimes it's very slippery and unpredictable for me.
"It was really tough stage, difficult to find the rhythm. But so far no problem for us."
"We have a problem with the engine, we had to stop and to restart it twice. This car is not working."
"Very nice, very enjoyable, very fast, very slippery. Pleasure to drive."
SS3
It wasn't as good as I expected. Maybe I'm little bit sleepy.
It's fast, flowing, high jumping, amazing. We enjoy it, it was clean run. We were laughing crossing the finish line.
"Quite difficult stage, I think we lost a lot of seconds in the beginning, but in the midlle and in the end we tried to push."
Stage is good, it's pretty fast, but it's fun to drive.
It 's bit better, I enjoy it.
"This was much more slippery than the previous one. It was a fast stage, we saw two crews off the road, but they were OK."
"I think both crews are OK. We are happy, we drive maybe not so fast as we expected, but we are still running."
"Everything good. I break early still. Sorry for Lukasz Pieniazek, he hit a tree."
"The feeling is getting better and better, I'm still learning. Let's keep it."
It's really hard to drive here. I do mistakes and I think we are losing too much time.
Long stage, it's better, but the rally will be long.
"It was OK, we are going step by step. The stage is superfast, there is no room for error. We have to be very careful with the pacenotes."
"We had a massive jump and I think there is something broken. We feel some strange vibrations."
The car is OK. It was very slippery and we didn't find the grip, so it was little bit complicated.
We couldn't concentrate after seeing the accident in the beginning, it was Lukasz who I teached three years ago, so I was thinking about it.
It's amazing stage, just in the beginning I hit something with the right rear, we thought we had a puncture, so I was cautious. But then it was amazing.
"It was a clean run, no mistakes. Sometimes we were too catuious in fast corners, probably guys behind us will be much faster."
It was the same as the first one. Beautiful stage, the road looks good, but it's slippery.
"So enjoyable, no risk at all. There are ruts in straight lines so the plastic parts are broken, but the car in working well."
SS2
"Quite OK. I thought we had a puncture, the car was moving around."
"We are just trying to find the right pace."
"Everything OK, we only had mistake in pacenotes and went in one corner one gear higher, but no problem."
"Quite slippery in narrow section, but it went OK. The feeling is better and better."
"Everything OK, but yesterday we had bad luck with electronic problem. We now can only wait for mistakes of other guys."
"I don't know, I felt some pain in my body. We have new tyres, but it maybe wasn't the proper choice."
"Nothing happened. We have reasonable pace, we are here for learning, we are on the beginning."
The stage wasn't perfect, I did mistakes in slow corners, sometimes I was sliding too much.
"This stage was about learning how the jumps and ruts are, but we are happy."
Everything is OK, this is absolutely flatout stage, I'm happy to be here. Amazing.
"I went wide, but it was only a little touch, nothing special."
"OK, it was the first stage, we are here."
I went definitely too slow, I couldn't find the right speed. I hope to be faster on the next stage.
"Quite good, nothing special. We can do it better."
I'm little bit surprised. Not cleaned line, in some corners we had to go on 1st gear, there were deep ruts.
I'm not very happy. I maybe tried too much, we were doing some small mistakes all the stage.
It was slippy, but OK, we are on the road and in the finish. I hope there won't be problems in other stages.
In very slow corner we went to the garden. I'm not happy. I have little problem with the car.
OK, we took it steady, trying to learn. It's our first time to this type of gravel.
I'm locking on brakes, quite stiff setup.
"It was little bit complicated, it was slippery. But OK, we are here."
I didn't touch nothing, we trid to go clean, but it's very slippery.
"We missed a junction, we lost maybe 10 seonds. It was soft and slippery, but I think our start position is not so bad for this stage."
"Impressive stage, really fast. We had fun, it was a good stage for us."
It's very very slippery, we had some small offs, we will focus on next stages and keep pushing.
"Yesterday the drive-shaft was broken, they fixed it without problem. Very slippery stage, but really beautiful."
"For next 30 seconds I am the leader of the Poland Rally! The road is little destroyed, but nothing happened, it is OK."
SS1
Mechanical
"Our friends in Russia had a crash and we are worried about them, they are in hospital. So we are in bad mood."
"Absolutely happy, good for me. Today I have my birthday and now after checking the time it is event better day."
"I was not pushing, sometimes it was dirt driving, it could be faster."
"I was little bit wide, but it was fun. Rough for the tyres, but good for the spectators."
I'm not happy, I don't know why but I'm scared a lot and I brake too much.
"Really nice stage, I tried to drive a clean line, but I made a lot of mistakes."
"Good stage for us. I did one big mistake in the end, we almost touched the barrier. I puhsed a lot."
"The grip is very unconsistent, so it was hard to control the car in slow corners. But we are through the opening stage so it is OK."
"I was little bit too wide in one corner, but anyway it was fun, I tried to take it easy."
"Very happy, everytime I get in this car it makes me happy. I enjoyed it very much. The grip was changing a lot, but there is a lot of spectators and I hope they enjoy it."
"It was great fun for us. Sometimes we had a grip, sometimes, but it was a good stage."
Really good fun, good to be back in this car. I'm little bit sleeping, we were in the car the whole day.
"Very very tricky stage, I was trying to be clever."
"Very slippery, but lot of fun. Nice to start the rally like that."
"After the jump we broke something and we have only rear wheel drive."
"I can do it better, I have not a good feeling from the car. We will see tomorrow."
"I was too fast in one corner, we went wide and touched the barrier."
"Happy, we had fun it was good."
"Well I was little bit saving tyres, I also did one mistake when changing the gears. But the rally starts tomorrow."
"Big push, but we tried to be clean. I think it was not so bad. It is a good rally start."
We tried to save tyres, that's our way for this.
"So much fun, sliding a lot, I made a mistake and went too wide. I look forward for tomorrow."
It's like rallycross, big crowds, great atmosphere.
It's very nice, some places are slippery and some not, but it's fun. Shame for Dominik retiring in the first stage.
It's fine, we will se tomorrow, this stage is only for people.
It's amazing, great atmosphere. I really liked it. We want toget throught it and get some experience.
