Driver Comments
“An amazing weekend, in which I really really enjoyed myself! I loved the stages and especially my first time on tarmac on the porlock stages. The stage times were extremely good, and a significant improvement is clear. It was important to get a finish and I’ve capitalised with some good stage times. I still know that there is a lot of time in certain areas, but the main aspect is that I’m tidy and enjoying the rally’s without taking any gambles. Roll on the Plains!”
