Info
We hit the sidewalk edge, is there a flat tyre? In the chicane we hit the sidewalk heavily, but it didn't hurt my hands at all.
Choosing gravel tyres wasn't the right choice. We thought it's better since I haven't done any tarmac driving on the car. I spun on the first hairpin, it got loose, I spun and stopped. The Group A car feels nice! We have to go, the electric cut at one point and the drive stopped at a corner, something was cutting the power but I think it will start going.
This car has the 7-speed gearbox and I got lost a couple of times, chose the wrong gear. It started just like last year, I lost just as much, I think the rest will go similarly as well.
You can hope for another win but I doubt it. It would be nice to win on another decade. The Le Mans win probably helped only Mazda's Le Mans budget.
Yeah, this time it's OK! This year I was careful. I think last year I had one note too fast. The Jolly Club car is the same as the official car, it's only the color of the car.
We took it easy. The race isn't decided on the first stage. Everything is OK, let's see how it turns out tonight. Five years is too long since my last win!
We just had a puncture. I didn't hit anything, the sidewalk. It was weird to drive anyway.
It was good, we had cut tyres, but it was good. We will see who wins this year, I try but it will be hard. All the Finns and Carlos are my toughest opponents.
It was a bit messy but good. We try and hope there won't be any drama this year. Winning the 1000 Lakes Rally would feel better than the third drivers title.
It's OK. Maybe too soft with the tyre but it's OK. I think it will be a tight event. I have to wait for some gravel stages, proper ones to know if the feeling is as good as last year.
Hit a pile of tyres, broken steering
Tyre off the rim
