"The hairpins are very tight. I touched a bale on the inside but no worries. It's tricky in these wider cars."
SS2 SSS Wadern-Weiskirchen 1 (9.27 km)	5:20.8	12. 12. class RC1 12. WRC	104.0	0.93	7:29.5	11. 11. class RC1 11. WRC

SS3 Mittelmosel 1 (22.00 km)	13:14.1	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC	99.7	0.63	20:43.6	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC
He completes with damage to his front-right wing. "Might have been just a hay bale, nothing major. There is no right choice for tyres here. In parts softs would be better, in others hards."
SS4 Grafschaft 1 (18.35 km)	11:48.1	24. 11. class RC1 24. WRC	93.3	3.15	32:31.7	10. 10. class RC1 10. WRC

"No one to blame but myself. Wet, slippery muddy Tarmac? No thank you. This rally and the Monte are two rallies I know I have to improve on."
SS8 SSS Wadern-Weiskirchen 3 (9.27 km)	6:03.5	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	91.8	0.93	1:09:52.5	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC
