Info
Our own company Muurala Motors, is responsible for building and maintaining this car. We suffer from a weird fault which we cannot find. It's a lack of power, sometimes it just goes on its knees, you cannot lift the throttle or it doesn't come back
I can't take much credit for having the car looking so neat after rolling it (on SS20), I'm ashamed. While it happened I thought I lost next year's income. Now I feel a bit better.
We didn't now happen to have slick tyres, but it doesn't make any difference. There's still long gravel stages left, no hurry. The toughest stage is Surkee, needs to be driven precisely in the dark.
We have gravel suspension and slicks so it doesn't turn. I took the diff lock into the front in the morning, it's disgusting to drive but I have to keep it to get better times.
It's OK, it's the first time I do this stage, last year I was not here and I did not take any risk in this stage.
We took it a bit more cautiously since we had the puncture on Harju. I think we hit something. It's been a bad day. Technics have been all right but we've had a puncture and some hassle. Spectators are no problem but it's been a lousy day.
It went OK. We need to start pushing, we need a kick before Jyväskylä. I try to decrease the gap. I try to go every metre as fast as I can.
Some parts were slippery, some not so. I don't think 22 seconds is enough. This is a very long rally. I think the stages up to Jyväskylä will be important, all the stages.
