There victory is a great sigh of relief, we didn’t know how fast we would have been compared to our rivals, this is only the first step ”.
Carlos Sainz swell your chest in front of this milestone inserted in an almost unrepeatable palmarès in the world of rallies and raids: “Seeing how happy all the Audi mechanics and members were was a great satisfaction, especially after what had happened during the first stage. – declared the matador as reported by today’s edition of the Spanish newspaper AS – actually it is an incredible success and it came very early in the growth path we had set starting from the tests. Without a doubt, I will always remember this day “.
