This is the confirmation that the "FIA Plan" (This is the FIA has decided to implement this rule, Ed) running. I kill myself to explain, but you never believe me, you think it's easy, and even being first on the road, you can win ... I compensates much as I can, but n It is not every day possible. When you are an athlete, it is frustrating not to be able to fight on equal terms. I am very happy with my tire choice. I just wanted to have a little more luck, especially not to die this morning. If we remove this puncture, which cost us about ten seconds, I think we can say that our lap times were very good since we opened the road. "

I must say I am very surprised by the pace of Kruuda, especially after seeing his pre-event test video where the car looked hideous.

Kruuda deserves international recognition not one of the many fast Estonians but one one the fastest around, it took some time to turn his mileage experience into success, now I'm supporting him. Don't forget he is Finnish champ 2014.

Today, I only could go to the second loop. I had planned going to Ponte de Lima 2 and Viana 2, but I heard on the radio the cancellation of Ponte de Lima. Fortunately, I had watched how to see Caminha 2 and Viana 2. A pair of pics of each one.

Tomorrow I'll try to see both loops in Marão & Fridão, always far from ZE's. I'll post again some pics at night.

Hahaha, thanks.
They're fast :). It would take a long time. I'm still planning tomorrow. I believe I'll have more time tomorrow night. Mainly, clean lines by Latvala (so he will crash tomorrow) & Ogier was driving as the angry man who had to open the road. On WRC2, I love Nasser. A man who drives the WRC as training between Dakars has to be special.
