2009 World Rally Championship

[Ben Buitendijk]

kinda what people predicted, he is really fast, but doesn't have the experience yet to bring the car over the line...

He heard the pace note wrong and went too fast..and couple of trees, who cares

He said "let's wreck this car here and do mistakes and then we'll be better for first WRC rally. That's why we are here."

I think it's pretty hard to learn to drive with what you hear when he's always been driving with what he see. Anyway car is repaired and practising continues.

His brother rolled Kimi's Fiat 3 times and told he used Kimi's old pace notes which were bit too optimistic for that curve.

LOL, Kimi's manager doesn't seem very comfortable when he suddenly has to spend his time in a tent in the middle of coldest winter.
