Drivers: Jari Ketomaa and Mirco Baldacci.
Press conference.
Q:
Welcome Jari, a great result for you on your opening round in Sweden where you finished in second position, and you have just won the latest round of the Finnish Championship. Is your confidence high coming into Argentina?
Jari Ketomaa:
Well, yes for sure it is high. But this is my first round so far and it’s more different conditions than what I’m used to driving in the Finnish Championship, so now I just have to learn how to survive through these stages and find good places where you can push and places where you have to be safe. I am confident but I know that I have to learn this rally.
Q:
You have completed the tough recce schedule, what do think of the stages?
JK:
Well, the recce was okay but we need to make all the pace notes because I have never been here before. It was a heavy day but so far it is quite a lot what I expected from the stages, maybe a little bit rougher from what I’ve seen from the TV and from some in-car movies, but okay.
Q:
How did it go at the test on Monday and what changes have you made, if any?
JK:
The first round absolutely the car was too soft for these conditions and we needed to make the car stiffer and to make it turn quicker for the turns, because the turns are quite tough and it’s not so much fast sections on the road. But, yes, the most changes was for the suspension but I didn’t change any springs or something, but just a few clicks and positions and something for the centre diff to make it easier turning.
Q:
Mirco, it’s your first PWRC round of the season. It’s been the first time you’ve been in a car for four months? Is it going to be difficult to get back in the car?
Mirco Baldacci:
Yes, I think for me it was not easy to start but I tried the car this morning and for this moment all is okay. We will see, I know this rally, and I hope for a good event.
Q:
You were third here back in 2006; can you get on the podium this time around?
