Fastest on shakedown and second best time at the first stage, a superspecial. Patrik Sandell and Emil Axelsson seem to be in a good shape when Rally Finland begins.
- We won our heat against Mölder with 3 seconds marginal, and we have 0,5 seconds up to the first place. It was a good start of the rally and the Renault feels very good. The rally is not over until Sunday, but it feels well with a good start, it gives you good confidence into the rest, says Patrik Sandell.
Tomorrow the rally starts for real when they drive 10 SS. Rally Finland ends at Sunday after in all 23 SS.
After SS 1:
1. Prokop 1.30,0
2. Sandell +0,5
3. Rautenbach +1,6
3. Cortinovis +1,6
5. Beres +1,7
