The Toyota WRC team has five top positions in the competition after six special stages. In the Finnish team Kalle Rovanperä Bang for all six of the day for the bottom time.
– The perfect day. As I said, so does Kalle. When the car’s adjustments and feelings are in the dozens, it is easy to look, the team manager Juha Kankkunen Delicatessed for Iltalehti.
Kankkunen was pleased with Toyota’s brilliant performance, but wondered at the same breath of the anemicity of the rival Hyundai. After five toyota drivers, the best of Hyundai’s drivers is sixth place to be litigated Thierry Neuvillewith a difference to the top for more than a minute.
– Yes, our whole team has driven great today. I have to say that something has happened, and Hyunda has to have some big problem. Those boys have not lost their driving skills in a couple of weeks.
Something must be in the car, Kankkunen wondered.
– Usually there are six hubby in a minute. Now it’s over a minute’s best Hyundai driver after us. They need to have some fundamental problem.
So the situation seems great for Toyota led by Kankkunen, but the four -time world champion is reminiscent of the rawness of the species.
– You can’t like laughing, you can’t say much more. The rally is never over until we are on Sunday and the podium. I know that from experience. At the moment, everything looks good. Tomorrow may be a little crude day for the tire. There is a slightly different surface on the road, Kankkunen said.
– You can’t make sure after the first day. Tomorrow we will run a standard day and see what happens. Everyone has a free hand to drive as they want.
Sami Pajari Drives fourth in the race. Behind is the entire Hyundai trio and teammates Takamoto View. Kankkunen gave great praise to the Finnish promise.
– Sami was doing great, good going. Did not make mistakes and he has evolved all the time. Very good driving. Montte slipped a bit, but since then it has gone well, Kankkunen boasted.
