Well if you watch it together with his own vlog it was indeed eventfull.

On the vlog it seems that the car he got (Bulacias from Spain, crashed on powerstage), arrived in pretty bad shape and wasn't straight for the pre even test, then got engine issues due to a damaged cable on Saturday morning.
Originally he was supposed to drive the one Stritesky had.
