| "Perhaps we could do with a little more power". Initially the crew appeared in the provisional results with a one minute lateness penalty for checking in before CS2 but after a quick check of the time card, this was removed. | ||||||

| Of course, after the first section we were leading on the road as well as leading the rally so we had the job of meeting all the hazards first. We hit two goats and a sheep and finally a taxi that was coming the other way. No big damage but Alain's foot is worn out from pressing the horn button. We had no punctures and I am driving at ninety per cent to try and keep it that way. | ||||||

| They made a navigational error on the second section and lost about ten minutes. The car was first on the road and there were no tracks to follow and co-driver Lopes reported there were two junctions that exactly corresponded with the tulip within 100m of each other. They unfortunately took the second and it wasn't until 6km later they realised the mistake and then had to retrace their steps, making a 12km detour in all. Alain Lopes said: "It's a shame because this is my last competitive rally. After this I will only be doing regularity events. | ||||||

| There was a navigational error in the Belgian Porsche which caused a detour of about 32 kilometres which cost them just under 24 minutes on the last section. It was somewhat silent as the crew climbed out of the car at Amboseli. Marcy said "The car is still good and there should not be too much work tomorrow". | ||||||
