Car 33. EVANS/MARTIN
“It has been a fantastic weekend. We have been there or thereabouts all weekend except for yesterday
afternoon. We tried to drive well and stay in the middle of the road. That did reward us. I know a bit of
luck needs to go your way. I don’t like to inherit positions but that is the nature of Rally Turkey. Not the
sweetest victory, knowing you have been conservative, but that is it the name of the game. We have to
take all the points we cam.”
Car 11. NEUVILLE/GILSOUL
“Obviously I have the feeling that we deserved more. Back on the podium is great. Thankful for the
team. The car was working really nice. I hoped for more. We were unlucky this morning. It is how it is.”
Car 69. ROVANPERĀ/HALTTUNEN
“We needed to bring the car home for the Teams’ Championship points because we are the second car.
Without the big risks it was not possible.”
Car 8. TÄNAK/JARVEOJA
“No, not a good feeling. It has been a shit weekend.”
Car 4. LAPPI/FERM
“I have a broken damper from the previous stage and just wanted to come to the finish. Without the
damper, it is quite rough.”
Car 9. LOEB/ELENA
“We had finally a good day. I did not push here. I do not need the points. It was a tough day with a
puncture on the long stage. It was really hard. I am quite happy.”
Car 44. GREENSMITH/EDMONDSON
“It has been a decent weekend in terms of making good improvements. I was hoping for a little bit more
at the beginning. Thanks to the team. It took a lot of work to get the car from where it was to where it is.”
Car 21. TIDEMAND/BARTH
“I am happy. It is good for the championship. It was a tough rally. The same for everyone. We came for
full points and we did it. Thanks to Toksport and Škoda Motorsport for providing a good car We need to
keep going for the next event.”
Car 22. FOURMAUX/JAMOUL
“I am satisfied. The first time here and a big challenge with the pace notes and the knowledge of the
stages and how rough it can be. We wanted to beat Pontus but we had a puncture yesterday. You need
to have a very good rally. Now we have to continue for the next event.”
Car 23. BRYNILDSEN/MINOR
“It has been a difficult one. I just have to be happy. I am like the boy next door going to work every day
and then playing with the big boys in my spare time. A big thanks to Toksport for their help. I put a lot of
effort into this. I enjoy even though it was a very difficult weekend. Good points for the team and we go
to Sardinia with a lot of hope.”
Car 24. BULACIA/CHANNESIAN
“We are leading the championship. I am very happy but a lot of sadness on the last pass of Cetibeli we
had a puncture. We will fight for the victory in Sardinia and will try to be champions.”
Car 26. KAJETANOWICZ/SZCZEPANIAK
“We did it again. We won this rally. This is one of the most difficult of my career in the WRC. Thanks to
my team, Maciej and the Lotos Team. It is an amazing feeling. We are so happy.”
Car 28. AVCI/VATANSEVER
“Actually it was really a tough event. After two years without driving a rally it was a good come back for
us. In WRC3, we had the third position and, in the National Championship, we have taken the local
drivers who are not in the WRC classification. Thanks to the team and all the supporters.”
Car 31. HELLER/DIAZ
“I am happy to finish this rally the second rally of the year for me. Now I am happy with my new co-
driver. We look forward to Sardinia. Thank you for everything Turkey..”
