Info

Mäkinen Tommi
- Mannisenmäki R.

I would have changed different tyres after the first stage but we're not allowed to change them. Now we're going for a different type of tyre because it seems it's still raining and I hope it works.

Mäkinen Tommi
- Mannisenmäki R.

We tested here in 1997 so Risto can leave out a couple of pace notes
