Suzuki Swift drivers Guy Wilks and P-G Andersson are first and second in the JWRC classification after day two of the Rally Finland: the fastest and most spectacular event of the year. Wilks set all the fastest stage times today apart from one, while Andersson fought back from brake problems and a puncture.

		P-G Andersson (2nd in JWRC after SS17): "It's not been very easy for me today, but we're still in second place and we've got a good chance of taking some useful points. On SS12 we only had rear brakes, as we had broken a brake pipe in a corner against something in the road. Then about five kilometres from the end we had a puncture, but we were able to keep going to the finish. We had another puncture on the final stage of the day that we had to stop and change, and that cost us nearly two minutes. It was unlucky, as we were not taking risks, but these things happen. The important thing is that we concentrate on getting to the end now."
		Guy Wilks (1st in JWRC after SS17): "Everything's been really good so far. We've not had any major problems today - we've just been concentrating hard on keeping everything neat and tidy. We started the day behind Kris Meeke but I think we were catching him, so maybe the pressure we were putting on him forced him to make the mistake that cost the lead. From our point of view, the only difficulty we had was punctures: luckily one of them was on a road section so it did not cost any time. The aim tomorrow is just to carry on as we are - safely!"
		Nobuhiro'Monster' Tajima, team principal: "Guy and P-G both drove very well in the tricky conditions yesterday, and also in the warmer conditions today. The Suzuki Swift must have looked and sounded spectacular in the Finnish forests, but we do not want any dramas tomorrow! We still have four stages to go, without service, so we will do everything we can tonight and hope for a trouble-free run tomorrow..."
