Third place in Rally “White nights

After two days fight on the extremely fast roads Patrik finished third. He gave 100% but the Mitsubishis have more engine power and when the roads are this fast it makes a different. Some stages was a bit more tricky with sharper bends and then the power advantage was gone, but they were too few this time.

This was the first time on Russian soil when Patrik didn´t finish on top of the podium.

“A different feeling I knew it was going to be hard this time, but we will be back for a new victory next round” says Patrik.

Evgeny Novikov won the rally, Andrey Zhigunov came in second 9,6 sec later. Patrik ended up third 41,7 sec behind the leader.
