00:00I don't think I'm ready for it.
00:03So, what's happened?
00:05Yeah, it was a bit of drama today.
00:07The GPS in one moment just stopped working.
00:09So I had to turn it off, put the code back in.
00:11And...
00:13Yeah, it was a bit of chaos, to be honest.
00:15Then when we stopped the car at the finish,
00:17it wouldn't restart, so...
00:19Yeah, day one was quite eventful
00:21for us, but...
00:23Anyway, getting all the problems out of the way early doors
00:25and hopefully we have a smoother run
00:27from here, but it's just a bit stressful
00:29because we only have a certain amount of time
00:31to give the timecard
00:33and cross the panels, so...
00:35Yeah, I didn't want to get a penalty, so...
00:37Anyway.
00:39Yeah, our Dakar didn't start as we expected.
00:41At kilometre 20
00:43we had a problem with the gearbox
00:45and we had no third gear.
00:47So we just...
00:49We were just taking it easy
00:51and trying to finish the stage.
00:53We were safe,
00:55and then the navigation was not working at all.
00:57And now
00:59the Veliers passed us here and we were in the dust
01:01and we didn't see a stone and we rolled.
01:03It's a pity
01:05because we were slow and safe
01:07and trying to get to the end of the stage, so...
01:09Yeah, it sucks, but it's like this.
01:11Now we are trying to fix it
01:13and to see if we can finish.
