Thanks to consistent and efficient performance on the opening loop, Kajetan and Jarek gained four positions in WRC-2 standings.

After tyre change in remote tyre fitting area in Gołdap, the competitors start the second loop with Gołdap, Stańczyki and Babki tests. This day ends with third and final passage of Arena Mikołajki Superspecial.

Kajetan Kajetanowicz: – I am happy not only because everything goes well for us today, but above all because we are pushing hard and we made up a lot of time and positions. We are chasing other competitors and although it is difficult to fight against factory crews, driving still gives us much fun. It is exciting, fast and nice, despite high temperatures inside the car. There are plenty of fans along the stages. Sometimes we drive literally between two lines of spectators who cheer, wave their flags and have a lot of fun. They create an excellent atmosphere and we feel it inside our car.
