Info

#13

Jansson T.
- Svensson P.

Before the rally our target was to be in the top five

Auriol Didier
- Giraudet Denis

We changed the front diff and the handling improved. I solved the problem by myself. I don't need Grönholm's help with that. I have tested the car a lot by myself. The new stages are difficult. For example if the pace note is very long left, I turn in too early. Tomorrow it will be even more difficult.

Sainz Carlos
- Moya Luis

Tactical road penalty

Mäkinen Tommi
- Harjanne Seppo

The position we have is good.

Kankkunen Juha
- Repo Juha

I finished the stage in first gear. I haven't taken any risks yet. There is no panic, because leading now is not good.

Kytölehto Jarmo
- Kapanen Arto

MIka Sohlberg was showing split times but I didn't notice him

Grönholm Marcus
- Rautiainen T.

I don't know if it's wise to be first on the road tomorrow. But I have never lead a WRC event before so I shouldn't slow down.
