Emil Lindholm was driving his co -driver Reeta Hämäläinen With a sure victory in the Sardinian World Rally WRC2 class.
Until the sky fell into the neck of the Finnish couple.
Hämäläinen read from the note that the pace should be moderate for a small jump, but for some reason Škoda went over the nipple with a reference gear.
– The post -jump downhill before the bend was really slippery, and I just couldn’t make our car turn into the next bend, but we drifted straight. The car was caught in the gravel, Lindholm explained in the release.
Lindholm drove too hard.
– Ten spectators quickly came to the scene who tried to push us back on the road, but more helpers would have been needed because the car was firmly attached to the bottom.
– It should have been able to lift it off the gravel bench. The stewards present prevented the audience from accessing our car, Lindholm continued.
Nothing helped anymore. The Finnish couple had to interrupt the race from the supporting lead, while only two full special stages had not been run.
– After all, this is a big disappointment that pulls the mind serious.
The lead inherit Lauri JoonaHowever, which, however, suffered a tire failure immediately with the next clip.
The WRC2 class was finally won by Italian Roberto Daprà. Jonah was fourth in the end.
