Well done Petter!!!
I am so sorry for that breaking problem,but we must be positive,as you told us.
You can still fight for the podium,evenmore knowing this rallye is a hard one,and the other drivers will also be struggling tomorow.
Let’s hope you don’t have any mechanical problem,and you can push as hard as this morning.
