P-G Andersson (1st in JWRC after SS16)
"I always knew that things could change quickly
in the JWRC, but this has probably been the
most dramatic example yet! After losing time
with a puncture yesterday, I just concentrated
on keeping everything clean today and not making
any mistakes, in order to give myself the best
possible chance of winning the championship.
The car has been perfectly reliable all day,
despite some extreme conditions: wet weather,
bright sunshine, and even some traces of snow!
I can't help thinking about the title, but that
is not going to distract me."

Guy Wilks (5th in JWRC after SS16)
"It all happened for us today. We had a front-left
puncture on the first stage that we were forced
to stop and change, which cost us nearly two
minutes. That still left us in the lead, but
we rolled on SS13 after tripping over some deep
ruts in a corner. Some marshals pushed us back
onto our wheels, but we then had a rear puncture
due to the bodywork rubbing against the tyre.
The main thing is that we managed to get the
car back to service, where our mechanics did
an absolutely fantastic job to put the car back
together. Iユm not too disheartened as we are
still in fifth place, and as we saw today, absolutely
anything can still happen."

Nobuhiro 'Monster' Tajima, team principal:
"After another dramatic day, P-G is actually
in a position to win the championship here in
Turkey if the results stay as they are. This
is unlikely though, as things rarely stand still
in the Junior World Rally Championship! The
only thing we can control is our own performance,
so our drivers need to stay very concentrated
on the last day..."
