We were running P3 at the moment, sometimes these things happen and you just gotta accept them 🤷‍♂️ It wasn't a great performance from myself either - I don't yet have the bravery in slippery conditions to send it like the big boys do. When the grip was better and consistent the pace was as I expected, but as soon as there were some variables I struggled for confidence. Unfortunately, only the shakedown and Toyota Stadium stages were consistent grip this time 😂😂 P3 would have been nice but quite a few of the big boys were not present here so the position does not reflect yet the true performance. Anyway, another very enjoyable event in front of the Japanese fans - it also might have been the last event for our 8 year old Skoda, and let's see what the future brings to us 😜 Thank you to my co-driver @kitagawasae & Rally Team AICELLO crew for this season and for all the support from everyone 👊🏻👊🏻 #rallyjapan #wrc」11月19日 17時25分
