The team has always had better results in Corsica than in Spain so we're optimistic of a good overall result.

It's nice have to have a name for the park. We've just been calling it the old bridge approach. It will be a nice addition to the park system in a real visible area.

We're obviously looking forward to the Swedish Rally, as it's one of the most enjoyable rallies of the year for a driver.

Like we said yesterday, we'll be happy with top five.

It's an increase, but it's not a huge increase. It's still in line with other (area) marinas.

It's going well, so far we're going steady, driving at a safe speed and things are going pretty much according to plan. We're aiming to be somewhere in the top six and we're on target. We had a small spin at a junction on the first stage that gave away a few seconds but apart from that we've had no issues. The roads are in good condition, there's a good solid base and I'm enjoying my driving.
