“That’s a surprise. I struggle a lot. A big fight with the sandy surface.”

“At the start the stage is faster. But it is tricky, there are a lot of fast corners. At the end is sandy. It's cleaning a lot.”

#6 Daniel SORDO - Cándido CARRERA

“No big push. We are in the middle of nowhere. The stage was very slippery. The surface is really sandy. I can’t manage to keep the car on the road. Very slippery.”
