Hi everyone,
I promised you a bit more of an update before the start of Rally Finland, so here goes!
We started shakedown this morning not so confident after our test. As I said earlier in the week, conditions on that pre-event test were not so consistent, so it had been hard to play around with settings on the C3 WRC.
So this morning we started quite conservatively and then changed quite a lot of things on every run. It was like a proper test today, in fact, with consistent conditions. And yes, the C3 got better and better. It was nice to sneak in a fastest time at the end too, of course.
However, that doesn’t necessarily set the course for the rally. To explore the road here in Finland, especially stages that are new to me, or reversed from last year, you need complete commitment and confidence. It remains to be seen whether we have that feeling when we get into the first stage tomorrow morning.
Hopefully it’s there but I can’t guarantee it at the moment. We’ll just try to get through the street stage tonight, have a clean run and then we’ll see what the story is tomorrow morning.
Thanks as always for your support,
Kris
