Comments:
Hanninen: I am very happy. I have beaten Freddy and Andreas, I didn't make so many mistakes, setup was perfect. I was very confident with my performance.
Loix: I am not thinking about stopping my career, I hope to win next time. Combination of Skoda and Juho was unbeatable this year.
Tsjoen: It was good weekend. Good result, no big mistakes. S2000 is not my type of car.
Flodin: It was my first IRC rally and I am in finish. I am happy, it was long and difficult rally, I had no experience with it, with Hankook and Fiesta. Our next rally is on gravel.
