Tarmac and speed - versus handling of car in hands of drivers not able to come out good from hazardous situations. (Having said without knowing circumstances today - but generally speaking tarmac gives a much more dangerous way of doing rallies. Especially when there´s a combination of high speeds)

He said that he needed to get used to the fact that the car feels the same inside, but is a lot narrower than the Maxi - and that he no longer needs to ease on the throttle..
He did look nervous on the high speed sections where I was on stage 8 and 10, but looked to be pushing more and more during the day in the 'normal' sections.
Also, he stills runs according to the Danish seeding system, so he started among Evos and Maxis on stages that were laps of the same route. I know at least once he was bothered because Steen Andersen was about to catch him on a long section of straights, but then he could maintain the gap (he could see him in the mirrors, but didn't affect either) in the next twisty section through a forest.
Besides, for the spectators it was a strange sight to see a small standard-ish looking car in between the bigger and much louder cars.
In our national rallies, he should be a lock to win class 2, and should challenge for Division B honours for r2 and r3 cars.
Especially since it seems Klaus Hammer will be out for a fair while.

Unfortunately, it is now official: A woman has died after the car crashed into the spectators during the Amsterdam Rallysprint. Three further spectators are (heavily) injured.....
Some witnesses say they were sent away from their spectating spot twice by the marshalls, but they didn't listen and kept returning.
