Info

#11

Lindholm Sebastian
- Hantunen T.

We stalled in a junction. The engine restarted only on the fourth try.

Mäkinen Tommi
- Harjanne Seppo

There has been loose gravel on these two stages.

Grönholm Marcus
- Rautiainen T.

It has started to go better. We installed a gear change light so I know how to use the correct revs. The best range in Celica was 5000-5500 while Corolla has 6300 for gear change. I have been careful on the junctions. Also I have to watch the gear number display.
