It's extremely slippery, we are still cleaning and the car is going by. The road will be OK maybe around 30th car. | ||||||

I did two mistakes, I was too wide in corners, and was slow in few places. But I'm very very happy. | ||||||

We switched the rear tyres with the front ones, but the car is heavy for them. In some places it was so fast that I had to brake down, I had no confidence sometimes. | ||||||

On the fastest parts I didn't back off now. There was perfect grip, but on the new section the grip was really poor and I lost my confidence there. | ||||||
SS5 Kuldīga (Padure) 2 (12.70 km) | 6:38.0 | 5.

I had to slow down at Raul, we lost maybe three seconds there. The road is getting very rough in there, with the heavy Group N car it's easy to break something. | ||||||
SS6 Great Amber (asfalt) 1 (1.67 km) | 1:30.9 | 6.

Everything is okay, but I missed too much. Steering wheel locked and I went straight. | ||||||
SS7 Great Amber (asfalt) 2 (1.67 km) | 1:27.6 | 7.

We still lost some time, but it was definitely better. I'm not tarmac expert. But it's show for the crowds. | ||||||

What a jump in this one, just at the end of the stage, I didn't expect it. Luckily I didn't break any driveshaft or anything like that. | ||||||

Real fight is the best fight, Kajto has some troubles. This wasn't the best stage for me, the beginning was good, but then I messed up the driving. | ||||||

There were some very big stones which we were unable to avoid, but everything is allright. Two more stages to go. | ||||||

This Mickey Mouse stuff at the end is really not for me, we did it carefully. We are saving tyres for the last stage. | ||||||

We couldn't repeat our results from the past but we are happy. We are second in our group, I'm very happy with the result. Third rally this year, second podium, I'm happy. |
