Info
Before the rally our target was to be in the top five
We changed the front diff and the handling improved. I solved the problem by myself. I don't need Grönholm's help with that. I have tested the car a lot by myself. The new stages are difficult. For example if the pace note is very long left, I turn in too early. Tomorrow it will be even more difficult.
Tactical road penalty
The position we have is good.
I finished the stage in first gear. I haven't taken any risks yet. There is no panic, because leading now is not good.
MIka Sohlberg was showing split times but I didn't notice him
I don't know if it's wise to be first on the road tomorrow. But I have never lead a WRC event before so I shouldn't slow down.
