Info
This [car] does nothing but stalls in every junction. We had to push the car to get it running, we lost easily 20 seconds, I lose my nerves with this machine! It stalls instantly if I press the clutch and didn't restart because the battery is empty. [It happened] in the tight junction halfway through. It's not going well now.
Yeah, so far everything is going better now. We will see, still long time to go.
[The tyres] are same as before and they worked well. 10 km before the finish something happened, oil started smelling and horrible shaking in the car, I hope it's just mousse tyres.
The car was now better, not so bad but I'm still not completely satisfied. A bit nervous, making tricks that I cannot be relaxed. I'm not satisfied in my driving. Mostly unsatisfied with the driving. I don't trust the tricks that the car does especially on the small roads.
It went OK, no problems. I think it's maybe cleaning a little bit but I pushed quite hard in there because I know it's only been used last year, I think, for the first time so it's a good chance for me to catch some time back.
Excellent stage. If we only had enough traction. So much loose gravel that the first cars clean and the later cars come faster. [Switching from small to wide road] makes no difference.
