Satisfied with the three first stages of Rally Sardegna today

Patrik and his co-driver Göran restarted again in Rally Sardegna Italy today after yesterdays retirement due to a broken turbo after four stages yesterday. with alot of extra penalty minutes they started on thirtyfift place.

They started out the day in a high and steady pace in their Mini class 1 car and got 10:th and 11:th best time on the first tree stages of the day.
"I am rally pleased with the three first stages of the day" says Patrik " We are learning things about the car in every stage and it is so much fun to drive these really powerful cars.".


The Swedish duo had a problem they had to start amongst the 2wd cars today:
-" We only had a minute between the cars and we were so fast so we catched in on the car in front of us so that held us back today" says Patrik abit frustrated.


Despite that he is still pleased with his performance during the first three stages of the day. On the second last stage of today they damaged one of the rear tie rods and on the last 500meters on the last stage it broke off:
-"We ended the day limping but we will be back tomorrow" Patrik Laughs

Tomorrow the rally ends with the four last stages.
