I have nice memories from races in Turkey. I won the first race in Istanbul and in any case I always digged the track. But now it's a different car, different serie, different joint and completely different systems. This rally is new to everyone. I might get some marginal advantage because of that as long as I'm real fast in learning.
We have a good rally from Jordan under our belt. The goals were fulfilled and now we try to make the whole weekend a little more better again. Hopefully we will quickly catch on so that we can start fighting more even with the others.
I don't have any other goal than to finish, finish, finish. If we get through it on Sunday we can look how far it took us.
I have to be attentive all the time. They have promised wet road conditions and if the route is really wet then it's really slippery out there. Then you have to drive even more attentively than before.
This is now the first time when we drive on both gravel and tarmac. The tarmac-part is the last new element that we haven't drove, not even once. It's interesting to see how this car goes on tarmac.
It was cool when we got the first points in Jordan. It was a bad spot, as a race it was as difficult as difficult can be so at that spot the four points felt really good. My self-confidence grew and we learned more about how we get results only by an attentive drive and careful noting.
Of course the hunger grows bigger and you expect more points but first we have to see how tough challenges Istanbul sets for us. It's the pleasure I like about rally when it's so different every time.
I'm sure that some local celebrities go fast at first. I just have to control myself and wait until I find a good rhythm. I have to stay on the road. From that it all goes forward again. The beginning of the season has taught me that I just have to move along humbly.
But I can promise you that we will fight with all we've got and we want to experience those good feelings again just like we did at the finish line after the last race.
