Mini Report!!!
Petter won both of these stages that I made it to today!!! How exciting!!!!
It was fantastic to be there for his win!!!
Of course Petter also won two others.
It was nice NOT to see the Robot Citroen this morning but you can imagine my heart break when Jari-Matti never came through the stage! Where is Jari-Matti?? But then an email came from Subaru Japan saying J-M & Loeb had had accidents and were out.
And Pons too!!!
The first picture above is Spirakakim A SS14.
8am Saturday Morning. No rain. Cloudy & little foggy. COLD! Make that very cold! 5degrees & windy. Petter first on the road. Today
2nd picture is Rikubetsu circuit. Warmed up a bit during the day but not much and by the time this stage was finished we were freezing because the sun was going down!
The third picture we were stuck in traffic! I had to go to the bathroom for most of the time and I was freaking out… Finally we got to a 7-11 and I almost broke my leg getting out of the car fast enough!
We could not make it to the super special though, too much traffic!
Many Group N cars were behind us!
I would love to write more but again the time is gone.
I apologize for the missing reports but I will fill you in later I promise.
I got back to the hotel on Thursday night at 11pm ish and then the boys said we had to leave at 2am…
Last night too we got back so late and wanted to leave by 4am.
Tonight we went to a party after the service park for Japanese driver Kamakyo (Kyosuke Kamata) There were about 35 fans there. We ate all kinds of delicious foods and talked with Kamakyo.
It is now 2am and I have to be up again at 5:30 because my friends want to go to roadside and cheer the cars on the way to the first stage.
