Info
Everything works but we're careful, about 80% pace.
I have enjoyed driving. Especially I was satisfied in the two last stages.
The car was really nervous at the beginning of the rally. I didn't even knwo what caused it. Regardless of that we had to push not to lose too much. The handling improved by changing dampers. They are similar as the previous ones, but the handling improved.
Crew needed eye drops because the roof vents couldn't be kept open in the rain so the hot air had strained their eyes.
The weather is difficult and the car doesn't have enough power to go, but the day went well. The suspension is a bit too soft, although we haven't yet bottomed out although the suspension travel is at the limit.
We tried hard on the first three stages before we found the balance. At first I couldn't believe how early you should start braking.
