"My fault.. too fast into a left corner, it tightened. We went into a wall and we broke the rear arm. I don't think we can fix it." / Moje chyba...byl jsem v jedné levé zatáčce příliš rychlý a ta mrška utahovala. Vletěli jsme do zdi a poškodili zadní rameno. Nemyslím, že to dokážeme opravit...

"So much loose gravel on the top.. car is going everywhere. But like I said, same for everyone. Good stage."
