1. LOEB / ELENA
I think the problem is suspension but I am not sure. Still, I managed a good time considering I had no tyre!
2. DUVAL / PREVOT
I lost a lot of time at the start of the stage but the rest was not so bad. I am losing four seconds at every stage start.
3. GARDEMEISTER / HONKANEN
The stage was so quick and it was difficult. I nearly hit a pole on the hairpins just before the end. I made a mistake on SS2 and had to reverse to correct it, so I lost time.
6. ATKINSON / MACNEALL
I think the tyre choice is a little hard but it’s not too bad. I have a small problem and lost a bit of time during that stage.
7. GRÖNHOLM / RAUTIAINEN
I had to slow down on the stage – I have no brakes. The pedal is so soft I have lost time. At the beginning of the stage, I was looking down at the pedal and the car is not stopping.
8. MÄRTIN / PARK
It’s a very interesting surface. The tyres are nearly screaming in the corners; maybe tarmac tyres would be better. They are very long corners and it is hard to find the balance.
9. ROVANPERA / PIETILAINEN
With my brake problem in SS2, I lost quite a lot of time.
10. PANIZZI / PANIZZI
The car is very soft at the back end - it is too much. It is sliding all the time during braking.
14. KRESTA / MOZNY
It’s OK but I had a puncture on the last stage. This stage was not so bad but difficult.
15. WARMBOLD / ORR
I didn’t drive very well, I should have driven faster. The car is OK.
18. TRIVIÑIO / DEL BARRIO
No problem, the car is OK. It’s good.
31. P-G ANDERSSON / ANDERSSON
I have been too slow on the last two stages and maybe on this one, also. It’s very slippy but I think it is better to get eight points rather than zero points.
32. WILKES / PUGH
I overshot a bit in the stage and had to take the escape road which meant I lost 10-15 seconds.
