There has been much loose gravel on the road surface. I was too careful as the tyres I am using today are new to me. I think there will be less loose gravel on the next loop and I will push harder. | ||||||

Not much loose gravel on stages anymore and road surface is better now, but comparing with JRC drivers I am not doing good enough. Stage distances are short and thus I have not been able to make good use of the tyres. But we are the first in the international class and we will keep this position and finish the rally. | ||||||

I could drive steady throughout the day. When compared with JRC competitors I am not fast enough but I think it might be because of the differences of road surface conditions. We will adjust settings of the car and I would like to satisfy myself with my own driving. | ||||||

We are driving steadily. As I had to sweep the loose gravel on the first loop, I would like to drive fast enough to catch up with stage times of JRC competitors. Actually road condition differs depending on start order, so it may not have any meaning to compare with them. This time I have to finish the rally with 6 of Michelin tyres and I realized their tyres are amazing | ||||||
