Off road

#11

Vatanen Ari
- Gallagher Fred

We had to remove front wheel drive so the transmission wouldn't have broken completely. I'm starting to build confidence in the driving.

Auriol Didier
- Giraudet Denis

We tried different tyres but they didn't have traction. Our position is quite safe so we can experiment.

Mäkinen Tommi
- Mannisenmäki R.

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.
