Info
It was good. I think we could gain some more time, but I wanted to save tyres for next stages.
Really good stage, but I did few mistakes. I will try to improve in next stages. I missed some corners, we had big moment in fast tarmac section, we are happy to be here.
In first square right corner after tarmac section we did a mistake, we lost few seconds there.
There was after tarmac section fast gravel corner with big stones, I couldn't brake there and had to go straight. It was a pitty.
Everything OK, maybe we could go faster, but it's first stage after long brake, so it's good enough.
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.
I was careful, I'm happy with my driving. We want to keep our speed, we want to be quick and then we want to finish, that's more important than winning this rally.
Nice stage, fast one, but difficult. Now we need to wait for Kajto and Lucas for their times. This weekend we want only victory.
Not bad, I was quite cautious first time here. I wanted to finish the first stage without problem which I didn't manage in previous ERC in Rzeszow.
It's extremely slippery, we are still cleaning and the car is going by. The road will be OK maybe around 30th car.
I didn't shift the first gear on the start so we were standing there with engine in limiter. The car is OK, crazy stage.
We hit one of the poles when cutting the corner. But no damage to the car so no drama. Clean stage, difficult one.
It's slippery, but with every car it's better and better. In the morning we are little bit sleepy.
problems with powersteering
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.
No problem, the biggest problem is my driving on gravel.
No problem, I'm just struggling as we have no power boost with less grip. We are cleaning road for other crews.
