Q:
This will be your first rally outside Scandinavia, what have you thought of Argentina so far?
JK:
Well, the country is very nice, very beautiful. People are kind and polite, it is very nice to be here and also the rally is a bit different from what I saw on TV, but it’s only a little of what I can see. My first feeling was that this was a much quicker rally than it is, but it’s actually quite slow. I don’t have so much experience in this kind of event but I need to learn and try to get a podium.
Q:
Are there any events in particular where you think you can be strong?
MB:
For here I think it is very difficult and for me also Greece, Turkey for the Group N car it’s not very easy, but they’re rallies I know so we will see.
Q:
The water splashes here in Argentina are legendary and will no doubt be big after the rain we are having. How much of a problem can they cause and what is the best way to tackle them?
MB:
The last year I always had a problem in the water splashes in the Group N car; it’s not easy but okay this year the stages change, so I think there won’t be that many water splashes, but I think it’s not easy here.
Q:
Mitsubishi put on a strong display in Sweden, collecting five of the top eight positions. Could it be as strong a display here?
MB:
I think the Group N Mitsubishi and
Subaru are similar, they are very strong cars and also for this rally it is a good car.
