Peterhansel just can't stop CRYING.

car302 - Stephane PETERHANSELWe came close to a real setback

As soon as we crossed the first dunes, we went over a crest and behind it was a sink hole, immediately penalising us as we got stuck. Time passed and the minutes seemed long. We lost at least 20 minutes, which meant that we would also lose the lead in the general standings. We cleared some sand and moved the car forward centimetre by centimetre to get out of there. Afterwards, I have to admit I took risks to claw the time back. That was the 50 km where I've attacked the most during the whole rally. In the end we caught up with Nani several kilometres from the finish, so he must have had problems too. I've been saying for a while that by getting stuck in the dunes it's possible to lose half an hour. Today we came close to a real setback.

Whammo! Laura, you nailed the very heart of the issue. And, I agree, that Monster should be brought to speak to their sponsered drivers. Great Job!

yea, the 3 address lines almost killed it for me. I wrote N/A in address lines 2 & 3

Felt could to vent, but I'm still really ticked off.

Whenever there is a nascar driver that does something the fans don't like, they go after the sponsor.
