It was nice to put on a helmet again and get into the rally car, even if Clio1600 will become a historical car soon. We have reached our goals. Checking the gear selection system was one of them. We also did it for fun, but it is normal that everyone wants to do well. It was not a lot of driving, about 70 kilometres on 7 stages, but still it was fun, though not easy. Especially behind the wheel of a front wheel drive car on the dirty roads.
Not everything went perfect. Unfortunately on the last stage we've got a puncture. It was a turn everyone was cutting and we hit a sharp edge of the road, 8 kilometres before the finish. Two kilometres later the tyre came completely off the rim. It is not easy to drive a FWD car like that, especially on a long downhill section. We lost a lot of time.
I would like to thank people who helped me in the preparations, the team and also Maciek Szczepaniak, who have found some time just before Rally Finland to sit with me in the car.
