Before the start, in the Service Park, they said...

Mads Ostberg, Barth Patrik

"We are having a great time, we like the competition, the weather is also great. We are always ready, everything is fine, the car will be ready soon. We're not going to rest much, we're ready to go."

Zippo, Denis Piceno

"We are ready to go, there are a lot of fast stages that suit our car just fine. It's a bit hot, but at least the weather is nice. There are a lot of slicks, so we want to stay away from them, we have to be careful.”

Klausz Kristóf, Csányi Botond

"We feel good, I feel that we are prepared. We want to go a little more steadily on the first day, and then continue to accelerate. The paragraph didn't do so well the previous two days. Now we rest a bit, we are thinking about where to go to eat. Maybe we'll rest a little more at the hotel, then go."

Mats Myrsell, Esko Junttila

"I find the competition difficult because the competitors are too good. We love Mecsek, that's why we always come back here. This time maybe there are too many forest sections, for us it's much more fun outside the forest."

Bútor Róbert (Citroën C3 WRC)

"Everything is fine, the car is perfect, ready to go. And I slept well, I rested and I'm looking forward to this event. I want to go skillfully and spectacularly and serve the many fans who came here to see this WRC.”

Bertalan Márton (Mitsubishi Evo 9)

"Unfortunately, in the previous race, the Danube Bend Rally, the crankshaft in the engine broke on the third stage, so we had to stop, but since then a new engine has been installed in the car and it was programmed last week. The guys say he'll be fine, and we hope he stays that way. There wasn't a lot of preparation before this race, we weren't even tested, so I can say that the new bike will have its first high-speed test, but we are confident that it will perform well."

Wéber Gábor (Controll Car, Toyota Yaris GR)

"We have never written an itinerary before, neither Kiss Norbi nor I, but in the end I think it went very easily. I didn't even know how to start, but somehow it all came naturally, although Balázs helped a lot by telling me what the basis and logic should be. We wrote about 60 pages, maybe too much information, but when I read it back, everything was in place. Obviously, it matters a lot that he is a professional navigator, knows what to say and fortunately we have good communication, which means a lot. Driving in the mountains is no stranger to me, but the forest is different. Of course, I'm not afraid of it, I was more afraid of the car, even though it's only a street chassis, street tires, but it goes brutally well, you can go hard with it. Of course, it would be different with a race car, but I still enjoy it a lot.”

Mészáros Sándor (Lada VFTS)

"We're doing very well and we're going to go as hard as we can, toasting everyone. If we already promised on FB, then we keep our word!"

Dr. Lukács Zsolt /(Škoda S110 Rallye)

"We are here with the Skoda 110 Rally, which we have been using for more than 10 years thanks to Totya. And of course, we are very impressed by the fact that despite the 79 horsepower, we always reach the finish line. It doesn't go so well uphill, but downhill it's great, we love it! The team is having a big "reunion" now, because with the help of Egér, Herr Matyi is working for us, which is a miracle for me, because I last saw him 20 years ago. With my navigator, Dávid Borsfai, who is an excellent young engineer and talented navigator, we visited Barum and Zlin several times with this car as well. It's fantastic that the Historic field consists of more than 50 cars, something you can only see outside of Italy or the Czechs."
