Speed is up, but endurance is not. Still too many mistakes.

I think it is a bit "friday hero syndrom" - on friday you can show awesame time from good road position and you may feel like a proper hero. On saturday, when road position is equal with others you start losing time, reality hits, you start pushing more, overdrive and mistakes comes.

Spectators could easily move the car, but no...
No finnish spectators in sight?

In finland the car could be carried to finish by spectators from this point

From the onboard it seemed to me that it wasn't some big impact. The suspension broke down too easy.

It's difficult to see from the angle if he hit just the root, or if he clipped a tree with his wheel turned all the way to the left. I suspect it's the latter
