Teemu Asunmaa, 35, along with his co-driver Ville Mannisenmäki, 27, are running third in the CBet Rally Rokiskis in Lithuania after the first competitive day. Asunmaa was fastest in LARC1 category after the day’s four special stages. Asunmaa is competing with a Skoda Fabia N5+ prepared by Samsonas Motorsport.

Asunmaa was third fastest on the first three and four in the last of the day’s stages against a field of R5 cars. The event has started positively with the new Fabia N5+. Technical problems hindered Asunmaa’s opening day.

-We had some troubles with the turbocharger on SS2. Luckily the next service was right after, and we changed the turbo, but we are still missing some low-end torque.

Tomorrow Asunmaa heads to 14 special stages and 113,69 special stage kilometres. Asunmaa is competing with development in mind and is not putting any specific goals for Sunday.

-We’ll go as fast as we can. We are hoping to fix the technical troubles for tomorrow. The car has been great to drive otherwise.

CBet Rally Rokiskis continue tomorrow Sunday 14th with fourteen special stages.
