Car 2. EVANS/BARRITT
“Everything was fine but I could tell it was not going so well. I didn’t feel I was getting anytraction in the last half.”
Car 3. SUNINEN/MARKKULA
“It’s so sandy. It’s not cleaning after one or two cars. A few times late on the throttle.”
Car 5. NEUVILLE/GILSOUL
“We made some small changes before the start. It is quite slippery in this one and I triedto push hard. I was careful with the tyres in the one before. It appears that the time was
good. It will be rough this afternoon so we need to manage.”
Car 9. LAPPI/FERM
“Everything is possible. There is still a long afternoon coming up. Let’s see what the afternoon brings. The feeling is nice. It is very sandy. It’s the same for everyone I guess.”
Car 10. MEEKE/NAGLE
Launched the car into the trees after 31km when the C3 snapped sideways and the back end caught the edge of the track and flipped down the banking. Both crew members were quickly out of the car unharmed.
Car 12. ØSTBERG/ERIKSEN
“It is not easy to catch Lappi, every car on the road in helping and, to be honest, I don’t want to risk anything. I’m just here to finish. I’m increasing my speed.”
Car 16. SORDO/DEL BARRIO
“I do my best and I push. I do all I have. For me, it was a clean stage.”
