Arai/Hall - 3rd in SM 2 class, Katsuta/Adachi - 4th in SM2 class Day1 started in the evening when the sky starts getting dark. Everything was new for Katsuta as it was his first European rally, the first gravel rally, and even the first time to use the lump pods, but he managed to make good careful approach by cooperation with his co-driver, Sayaka Adachi. He showed nice fighting spirit on the last stage of Day2 and finished as class fourth at the end.
Arai, who intensely concentrated before the start, showed intelligent approach to the first two stages on the Day1. As the co-operation with the co-driver, Phil Hall gets into the right rhythm, he kept a consistent pace throughout Day2 and finished with the third place in SM2 class.
