Info
We came carefully because they warned us that it would be slippery and it was slippery at times!
It's very very slippery. No problems, the car slides too much but we try to fix that.
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.
It was pretty good. Not even the tiniest [problem with spectators]. [The tyre] bit quite well, it wasn't so bad, but a few corners were really slippery.
OK except that I dropped a wheel into the ditch in the junction and lost a bit of time. [The spectators] tried to take pictures and stand on the road.
Close to an accident with the people in the middle of the road. Please, tell the people to move away! They could not hear the car and they were in the middle. Very dangerous.
[We went off] in the last junction. No [problems with the spectators]. [The tyre choice] was Good/OK.
