00:00We're here in Austin, Texas for the next round of the World Enduro Championship.

00:17It's very hot outside, so we're sweating.

00:19So definitely working here, but yeah, looking forward to the week.

00:23The heat is a challenge, not only for the drivers, but also for the car.

00:27FP1 and FP2 are in the books. Now it's about keeping the momentum.

00:31Tomorrow is quality day, preparation is key, so we are ready for the heat.

00:36It's all about compromise here between the high speed and the slow speed.

00:40Looking forward to quality, see where we can end up.

00:42Maybe hyperpo, that's the goal at the moment, so let's see.

00:57We're still carrying a tremendous amount of weight in our car from the Le Mans win.

01:04The Porsche is pretty quick around here. I just, I wish we were a bit lighter.

01:09The result speaks for itself. We are pilast, so obviously not what we hoped or wanted.

01:23But I don't think we maximized. It's a shame. Unfortunately, on Celia's last lap, she had a track limit.

01:41Would have been easily in hyperbole, but track limits are track limits.

01:45Before, best quality for us so far this season, so for sure it's good.

01:49Very difficult one, changing conditions.

01:52And in hyperpo, I think the condition changed a lot.

01:55Lawrence has to be a bit elbows out at the beginning of the race, and then we'll be alright.
