"I was lost in my own dust! I had a hairpin and it was full of dust and I didn't know where to go! I had to wait and then go again. The end of the stage is rougher and rougher, so I am not sure we can get through on the second pass." | ||||||
Stopped after the stage with fire coming from the engine bay. Tried to get to service on EV, but to no avail. | ||||||
