So here's the recap of what Müller Motorsport did at the RDRC Poland Rally:
As usual, Paul did the opening for the team in his Mitsubishi Octavia
He made a solid start in those wet conditions and managed the first two stages without mistakes or accidents.
When the track got dry, the mistakes came and on SS3 he had a crash with a 9s reset. Not that bad and the car wasn't damaged that much - all fine!
SS4 - SS6 went fine again without any issues. Not the fastest on the track but constant driving without risking too much!
SS7 saw the first roll and SS8 the second roll and some offroad-action.
SS9 went fine again, but in the last sector he had a roll again, this time the car had to be reset which cost another 8s... Look in their faces...
During SS10 he hit one of those huge obstacles...
The radiator was damaged, the motor overheated and the next two stages were easy cruising for Paul as the car's performance was gone...
So the nice fight with @alex2106 was over...
It was a mistake that wasn't necessary at all - but that's rally life! He was lucky in Argentina, this time the luck wasn't on his side!

Next one on the track was Lutz in his Delta HF.
The Delta is a beast and after the desaster at Argentina I wanted to handle the beast properly this time around...
So I gave everything on the first two stages in the wet conditions and stayed in touch with @Magnar Haarstadsveen , who is on the same level as I am - he's mostly that little bit faster, depending on the location.
As the wet was gone my performance in comparison to Magnar was gone, too. I couldn't keep his pace from SS3 on...
What can I say? I made no mistakes, didn't risk too much and kept the car within the boundaries and away from the trees... Here are some impressions from my run...
I had a spin on SS10, but that's all to report from my side. I brought the car home and hopefully I'll reach the Top 10 again in RDRC-2.
Don't think that Poland will be the location where I score points in the overall ranking for the first time this season...

See you in Spain...
