flash info (11 - Consani Robert / Klinger Nicolas): It feels great to be leading in 2WD and in the IRC Production Cup, especially after using the same front two tyres for both loops. It’s a difficult rally and hard to know whether to take some of the cuts or to try and drive round them: you can either risk a puncture or end up in the trees! Tomorrow is another long day so we will drive at a steady pace and hope we can keep our position.
flash info (1 - Protasov Yuriy / Nesvit Kyrylo): Everything has gone reasonably well for me today and I am very happy to be in this position. We had a puncture on the Plato 1 test and then again on Plato 2 this afternoon but we were able to get back to number one position so it was not too much of a problem. We will not push tomorrow, it will be a long day and my main target is to finish the rally.
