"We are satisfied with our results [to date this season]," said the Kome sport driver. "After a seven year of absence, we had to regain confid𒁏ence in Wal🥃es. We've never entered most of the rallies before and this year has helped us to get to know them.
"We entered these last few races with a Subaru Impreza and we worked a lot with the MRT to fin🌞d the best set up. I believe that we have a competitive car now. We are also happy with the Pirelli tyres. Now we look forward to our next and last appointment of the championship [in Australia] and we hope to be able to close the season in a positive way."
