Robert Gabryszewski: Rally Islas Canarias startedparticularly unlucky for us. Łukasz and Daniel damaged the engine of their car and it was not possible to fix it for the first day of the competition. The most important is, however, that nothing happened to the guys, since as you can see from the car, the impact was strong This is a difficult experience that will definitely strengthen them - I believe they will show it at the next start. This weekend we also supported Darek Poloński and Balbina Gryczyńska, who competed in the incredibly hard-working ERC3 class. It was not an easy challenge but our crew showed character, gained valuable experience and achieved a very good result. Now we are focusing on the next rallies during which we will want to play the main roles.
