Tempesta - a fost OK azi, dar am pierdut pe Santa pe ploaie. Today was OK but we lost time on Santa on rain
Gartofan - un raliu foarte solicitant. A very demanding rally
Marisca - a doua trecere pe Santa am mers cu grije, raliul incepe maine. We took it carefully, the rally starts tommorow
Miettinen - raliul incepe maine. The rally starts tommorow
David - pacat de pana de pe PS 1, superspeciala este printre ele mai tari din tara. Pity about the puncture in the first stage and the superstage is very cool
Ungur - am ramas singurii cobai dintre romani pe N14. We are the last to experiment the N14
Aur - roata spate stanga este strimba pentru ca avem bratul strimb. We have the left rear wheel badly damaged after SS 2
Cismaru - Puteam merge mai bine. I could have drive better.
