Declarations of the leading drivers after SS3:

Alexandre Camacho: «I started with a strong will to go fast and close yesterday's gap. I didn't expect to be in the first place as I have done few kilometers eith the car. I know there are drivers who used different tyres types and in the afternoon we will see!»

José Pedro Fontes: «It was a good start but we didn't take the right tyres, so we have lost some time. We will try and do it correctly in the afternoon. I want to take the saame tyres as all the ones. Whatever they are!»

Miguel Nunes: «In this last stage we had a few moments of lack of focusing in Chão da Lagoa because a temperature light went on and I had to ask João Paulo to turn on the help fan, so we were with no notes for a while. I think I am showing that I am adapting well to the car.»

João Barros: «The stages went well but they were hard as we had half wet and half dry zones and it makes it hard to manage the pace. We will try to improve the pace in the afternoon, but having always in mind the National Championship.»

Ricardo Moura: «These two first stages were difficult. I must now be more confident to go faster in the afternoon. That's my main goal.»

Luís Serrado: «In the first stage we were very careful because of the rain. In the second one, we took some risks and improved our time. I am more at ease with the car and now all I want is to improve the times.»

The highlight of this Service park is the big concern of the leading drivers was with the brakes. Concerning the tyres, all chose the hard ones, Michelin 31, equal to RK5 from Pirelli.
