Grönholm explained the incident to DirtFish saying: “Everything was nice, the feeling was good in the stage. It felt just like the old days. “Then we come to the finish and, bam, the corner is there, right in front of me. I got the distance wrong. I am so stupid. “We came to the corner and I tried, I tried with full throttle to try to pull the car out, but it didn’t work. We went to the grass and rolled. The car even caught fire for a moment – I grabbed the extinguisher and we managed to get it out. “This is very s. Grande s. I am so sorry for Alessandro [Gino, car owner] and for the rally. I came here to have a nice time, to wave to the people and to enjoy the show and now this happens.”
