WRC ADAC Deutschland Rallye 2019

[KKS]

Mads should be given a Kopecky time

even Kopecky lost ~8sec on that place. notional time should be less than 9min

Everybody still passes in the speed limiter here so I guess not

Eric, the day was not easy for you, with probably a lot of disappointment at home.

"It's a little hard, I admit. Mentally, it's not easy because we have the habit of fighting in front. The competition is tough and we see that we are not yet in time. Once in Finland, it's ok, but here again, especially here, where we used to play in front, it's a bit frustrating. We must also know how to adapt and work. We do not despair, we give the maximum. We are gradually reducing the gap. I found stuff, I understood things about the engine and the differentials. I also attacked more. To roll to 3 tenths, I'm at 115% and as Benji told me, I do not really want to continue like this. We must be honest, we take on ourselves. The bottom line is that I hope it does not hurt our image. It's never very good to be behind but people do not realize how fast things are going. We regained confidence this afternoon, I saw that I could still transcend myself. It had been a long time since I had done this kind of special. At least that makes us progress and we know that if we have to jump into a WRC, we will be ready to give everything. "
In Corsica, you were largely ahead with the Polo in WRC-2, and there you are fighting for a top 8 in R5. How do you live that?

"We have to adapt to the situation. M-Sport gives us the means to be here and we must know how to stay positive. Others are in front but have to pay. We are official, so we do not have to complain, and do our best to make the car better and meet the goals. And here we are on the right track, I'm happy. "

You must be satisfied with your time in the SS6 (5th time of the R5)

"Yes, it's the one I remember, especially in a legendary chrono like Mittelmosel. We lose 6s on Rovanperä in 22 km, so I think it's not bad. With the differences in development between cars, I think it's a good overall performance. Frankly, we did a great special, but it was very hot. We saw 2-3 trees, it was hot (laughs). "

I take this opportunity to thank all the people who support us and who understand that auto sport is not just a time sheet, but also a story of men and mechanics. We can not always be ahead, there is a lot of competition, some cars are nascent, others are already born. Time takes time. We see that in 1 month, we still went from 1s to 3 tenths per kilometer. After that, it's sure that when I see the VW in front, a car that I developed, it's hard. But we are progressing. "

Greensmith starting late, he was repairing something related to the steering on the road section (steering rod replacement?).
