| Some part of the road was difficult due to loose gravel so I drove carefully. We are fighting close battle and we have to concentrate. It seems Yaris is very fast on fast stages with high average speed. We will keep pushing on Section 2, too. | ||||||

| I pushed a little harder and the gap with the leader was not as large as Section 1. I feel like pushing harder to win stages, but that may lead to troubles so I will be careful while pushing. | ||||||

| It was exciting and rewarding stages for my attempts. While the gap from the leader was wider now, I will not give up and try to catch up with Mr. Kohama. I will do my best on the first section tomorrow and will see how I should drive for my position and championship series. | ||||||

| Our pace is not bad, but Yaris was very fast. They had a trouble and slowed down, so we thought we may be able to catch up with them but we had puncture and we are now back in where we were. We will do what ever we can do to win in the next two stages and see if we can win. We will keep fully pushing in the afternoon. | ||||||
