Info
Off road
We had to remove front wheel drive so the transmission wouldn't have broken completely. I'm starting to build confidence in the driving.
We tried different tyres but they didn't have traction. Our position is quite safe so we can experiment.
I tried to focus on this stage and the result was good. Now we can ease off since half a minute in this rally is long. The car is now good, it works on small road and most importantly on wide road.
