| SS20 Laukaa 1 (11.74 km) | Accident | |||||
| "I went wide in a really fast place and the rear caught a tree stump and then we hit some rocks with the front and then spun 360 on the road and the car is too damaged to continue. I was expecting it to turn a bit less but I think the pace note was correct I just tried to be ‘on it’. I was not expecting to finish like this." | ||||||
