Ford’s Roman Kresta has admitted that he found the pace on the Rally Finland ‘just incredible’.
The Czech, who was competing on the event for the very first time, adopted a risk-free strategy throughout as he concentrated on learning the characteristics of the technically difficult Finnish stages.
After going off the road and losing further time with hydraulic problems on the opening two legs, the 29-year-old climbed from 30th at the end of leg two to 23rd at the finish.
“At last I’ve had a good day Sunday! I just drove to finish,” he noted.
