I forgot how a lot of spray there is and how visibility is poor. I thought the night stages in the rally car with fog, and when you are switching off the lights because additional lights are not helping in the fog in the night, is crazy. But at least there you can see and you have pace notes so more or less you know where you are.

Here especially first lap wasn’t easy. I had no clue where I was. I was backing off, everybody was backing off. It was quite a conservative approach.

I struggled a lot with the grip, with keeping the car on the track. But all in all it was I would say a valuable experience.

For sure nine years is a long time but still I think in these conditions often it’s a lot about keeping your head down and staying calm and although a lot of cars were fast than us, or most of them, or even all, still you have to drive to your limits, not to what you see around you.
