This is the second event of the 2012 championship and would enter the event with a 3 point lead and wanted to gain more of a lead. On SS1 we had a nice and clear run and the car handled brilliantly which meant we set a goo stage time, On SS2,3,4 we started to notice that the car was down on power and found out during service that there was a huge split in the downpipe in the exhaust system which would mean we would be loosing 2-5hp which was being shown on the stage times. SS5,6,7 the stages were being run the opposite way to the morning but only got 1 clear run due to catching others but luckly managed to get past which did not loose us much time. Going into the last stage day we were in 3rd position which still meant we would score good points, As i left the last chicane on the stage an was about to change to 3rd i made a big mistake and accidentally got 1st gear insteed which meant i bent my inlet valves so the car would just stop but for some reason it kept running for a few 100 meters and managed to cross the line and finish the day with a non running car but 3rd place and kept 1st overall in the championship.
