Car is working well, everything is perfect. The road was much much better, we could push little bit more. We had a problem with pop-off and a diff in the morning, now it's OK. | ||||||

Very tricky. We don't push, we must stay on the road. We only can wait, what happens. Today the car is OK, but the roads are really rough to the car. | ||||||

"Car is working well, no problem. The stage is difficult, we drive slowly, maybe too much careful, just to stay on the road. We must survive, just las stage to go." | ||||||

Yesterday we had a good rhythm and were fighting for a good result, but we lost much time on the last stage of the day. Today we only needed to drive on the road and get to the finish. It's OK. |
