"We didn't lose that much time to Sven Haaf with the newly built Corsa, so it's ok. We had to let some faster cars pass because our gearbox is too short. I am looking forward to the more flowing stages tomorrow, even though they are new for me."

"We didn't stand a chance against the Kit Cars on this very fast stage The gap is not too big though, we will try to gain some places tomorrow."

"It's a good start with the new Evo VII."

"Our damper settings were not perfect and we need to change the clutch for the second leg. I want to catch Carsten Mohe tomorrow."
