Jan Chmielewski: Perhaps I spoke by local patriotism, but it was a really great rally! Over 180 kilometers of gravel stages have a fantastic setup, and raised the level of difficulty uncertain, the second day of rainy weather. It is a pity that the chances for a third consecutive win in the pivot shattered unfortunate flat tire, which happened to us last connector on the gravel in Friday's program oesu Lubenia. Most of the losses associated with that managed to make up for the second day, but to be completely happy ran a couple of seconds. This already is the specificity of rallies, but on the other hand the question of division titles in our group and class still remains unresolved, and fight for every little point going to emocjonowali, perhaps, to the end of the season.

Also pleased that the rally we've seen so many fans cheering us. There's no denying that adding in this way we wing, showing the same high popularity in our country rallies.
