Patrik and Göran are in Czech Republic with PS Engineering to drive the fifth round in the IRC series. The rally is a difficult asphalt rally with most of the stages in the forest. The difficult part of the rally is the slippery roads.

This will be the first time for Patrik on slippery asphalt:
- "We have only tested on dry asphalt in our previous tests, so I don´t have any settings for this," "We simply have to find the right settings on the opening stages ", says Patrik.

It was not the wet surface that started the roller coaster ride for Patrik and Göran in the results list. Misfortune arrived in several ways. In the opening super special Friday night the generator broke, the windscreen steamed up and they lost the sight and ended up in 13th place.

In the first service on Saturday they were forced to replace the generator that broke yesterday, unfortunately they were late out of service and got a 10 second penalty.

In the two first stages they advanced up to seventh place in the result list. Then they got problems in SS4, the car only had three cylinders. They could not fix the problem before the fifth stage and lost time. They fell true the result list to 15th place.

At the following two stages, they managed to fix part of the problem and climbed up to ninth place with just one stage to go.
- "On the last stage we had a puncture and lost time" says a disappointed Patrik.

After Saturday’s stages they are in 15th place, with six remaining stages tomorrow.
- "There's not much to say. It has really been like riding a roller coaster" says Patrik. "We had a lot of bad luck; I am also unexperienced on this wet asphalt so tomorrow will be training for me. I will take the opportunity to learn the car properly and find the perfect settings", says Patrik.

Juho Hänninen leads rally with Jan Kopecky in second and Andreas Mikkelsen in third place.
