"The atmosphere is always very good. There are some river crossings and you need to be careful there, but there are no other things really to worry about. I am aiming to get into the top eight and try to push the car to the limit. Hopefully everything will work."

Asked about the competition, Gardemeister noted that to date it's been a good year for the WRC so far and that it is nice to have a different name at the top of the championship - albeit with Mikko Hirvonen now only 1 point ahead of Sebastien Loeb.

"Subaru is also quite close on some events. It is better at the moment."
