A couple of big jumps kind of threw me off in a few places but it wasn't so bad. We put on the hards in the last stage which was a bit stupid with the rain. | ||||||

"Not an off, three times it stalled. I pulled the f****** handbrake and it kept stalling. It happened last night in the Super Special and it is very frustrating. Apologies for the language but..." | ||||||
