| I think the biggest tension went away now. It's very slippery, clay slur, it takes the car too much sideways. We went wide in one left hander but no other problems. | ||||||

| Stuck in a ditch | ||||||
| Then occurred a surprising movement that I couldn't expect. The steering was at max, the car front pointing at a field and we went into a ditch, the car stopped there and it took time before we got it off. | ||||||

| It has been better. The ending was really bad, really slippery, we almost spun twice and in the beginning we hit a stone which was on the road, not outside the road, and the wheel angles went off. | ||||||

| We almost spun. The small roads were bad. The top drivers cut so much that it brings mud onto the road. | ||||||
