Info
We changed the suspension setup after the three first stages and the handling was improved
Our wide car has no traction on loose gravel, but otherwise we had no problems
I'm not satisfied in my driving as whole because only today it was like it should have been
We lost on pure driving. I couldn't get that "killing feeling" going on
I'm never pleased when I lose. However, it's positive that we can keep up with the pace of the others.
It wasn't an easy stage. It's much easier to play it safe on tarmac. We were flat out throughout the rally except for this final stage.
