SERVICE FLASH - PWRC
50 AL-ATTIYAH Nasser - BERNACCHINI Giovanni
“It was a good Rally. 2nd place is nice. We took 8 points and we are now leading the championship with 4 points. Here I knew that the Skoda could be fast, and the Greek driver was also very good. I tried my best. I think that the lead is good for the last Rally coming.”
47 ARAUJO Armindo - RAMALHO Miguel
“Today was a bad day for us, because we had no grip. We are 4 points behind Nasser, and everything is possible. The Rally was hard, but very good. I wanted something more than the 3rd place. But podium finish is always a podium finish.”
46 SANDELL Patrik – AXELSSON Emil
“The first and third days were good, but yesterday we had problems. It was a good and tough Rally, especially yesterday. This year I think the Rally was better, because it was less rough.”
31 PROKOP Martin - TOMANEK Jan
“We had a problem, because we came here with no clutch. I didn’t enjoy the Rally. It was not as good as in the years before, when I think it was nicer.”
33 ARAI Toshi – MACNEALL Glenn
“The Rally was difficult. 4th place is not good, but we couldn’t do anything more, because we had problems with the settings of the suspension and the differentials, and we couldn’t drive in the maximum.”
40 NEIKSANS Andis - DZIRKALS Peteris
“It is good that we have finished with no large problems. But I am a little bit sad that we lost the 6th place in the last stage from Sousa. So there is one good and one bad thing, but after all that’s Rallies.”
45 FLODIN Patrik - BERGSTEN Goran
“Big disappointment because nothing worked. We had a problem with the suspension setup. We couldn’t find a good balance and this is really strange, because the car was working perfectly three weeks ago in Sardegna. Here the suspension was too soft.”
37 SAUVAN Frederic – CAPANNA Sebastien
“We had a problem with the fuel pump in the last stage. It was a very difficult rally. Very hard.”
44 PAVLIDES Spyros – GIRAUDET Denis
“The Rally was exactly as we expected. It was a very interesting Acropolis. It also had great competition. This year we liked the Rally more.”
34 LINARI Gianluca – CECCHI Andrea
“We had a problem in the last special stage in the engine, in the electronic part of it, and the speed was slow. It was a hard day, and overall a nice Rally. The only problem was the very long first day. We know that Acropolis is always hard.”
32 SOUSA Bernardo - CARVALHO Jorge
“The day was very bad. At the end of the second stage and the third we didn’t have power steering and then we had no water in the engine. I think last year was better, because it was not so hard.”
59 ATHANASSOULAS Lambros - ZAKHEOS Nikolaos
“I think that we are rewarded for all the efforts to try to secure this car. Only me, my brother and the people close to me know exactly how difficult it was. I believed that a reliable car would provide me the chance to fight for the win. However I was saying that my goal was the 5th place, I believed that I could win.”
62 WILLIAMS Jon - GWYNN George
“I am very happy with the result. In the morning we found out that the central differential was not working and we battled with the handling. In the service we changed the setup and it was better in the last two stages. The Rally was extremely awesome.”
64 SEMERAD Martin – CEPLECHA Bohuslav
Retired with problems in transmission.
65 TAPPER Mark - JUDD Jeff
“The Rally was very tough. The toughest I have ever participated. We had just a small problem yesterday. Apart from that I really enjoy it. I would like to do three more days, but that’s not possible.”
