WRC » Rally New Zealand: Rally reactions - Day 2.

Saturday, 30th August 2008

"We regretfully let our rivals pass us again, although that's not really my vision of rallying which should be about driving faster than the others and not having to lift." - Loeb

Olivier Quesnel [Citroen Total WRT - team principal]:

"Today's leg went well for us, and Sébastien and Daniel succeeded in moving ahead with one stage to go. However, after concerting with Seb, we decided we would have the best chance of winning if they weren't first on the road tomorrow. Dani and Marc had a very positive day and posted some outstanding times this afternoon. They're also in a good position to score welcome points for Citroën. Tomorrow's action takes place to a magnificent backdrop and it will be up to us to do all we can to score a top result…"

Malcolm Wilson [Stobart VK M-Sport Ford WRT - team boss]:

“Today we have seen another solid performance by François and he is now in a position to score good points in both the Drivers' and Manufacturers' championship. Beginning the day where he was meant he needed to get around without any problems and he has done this perfectly. Matthew's times today have been some of his best to date and he has been setting fastest splits on sections of the longer stages which has really impressed me. Hopefully both he and François will continue this positive form on tomorrow's final leg.”


David Richards [Subaru WRT - managing director]:

“It's proving to be a tough rally for us so far, but we must approach it with an overall perspective and not just seize on one element of the mix. It's important that we work systematically to enable us to build on our experience here and continue to improve our new car.”


Paul Wilding [Suzuki WRT - team manager]:

"It's been another strong day for the Suzuki team and the SX4 WRC. Toni's brake trouble was frustrating this morning, but otherwise it's been good today. These conditions are not easy, all of the teams are talking about the gravel and the same problem. However we're really happy with the performance of the car, the drivers and the whole team."
