Info
"It's getting better, we are satisfied."
"There was a tree in our way, we hit it with the front left. After that the car wouldn't start immediately - we probably lost a minute there."
"I can't do more with this car. We are just lacking power compared to our rivals."
"I am not getting to grips with the suspension. I am constantly close to crashing - we can't go any faster."
"I was attacking really hard in the previous one. But it's very dangerous with the damaged damper."
"I am slowly gaining more confidence in the fast sections. We are improving."
"We had to change a tyre between the stages because of some vibrations."
"We will adjust toe and camber now to minimize the tyre wear. Let's see if we can find another few seconds."
"Hermann Gassner is just not beatable. But we are still driving his times from the previous year."
"We are having electrical problems. The fuel pump isn't working properly because of that and the engine cuts out in fast left hand corners."
electrical problems
"I think I was driving too cautios, I guess I need to be more aggressive."
"I am going flat out, but Holger Knöbel is just very fast here. We softened the suspension and the times improved."
"We took the harder tyres at the rear in this loop. It took longer than expected to get them to temperature. I miscalculated because of that and hit a wall of a house. I think we lost around half a minute until the engine started again."
engine cut out and wouldn't start after stage. The crew pushed the car until it started again
"We are in empty space now - big gaps to the front and to the back. At the same time we are testing the suspension a bit."
"The Kit Cars are hunting us now."
"We are having troubles with the exhaust manifold, could be sealing. Let's see what the guys in service will find - at least we're not lacking power."
