Brendan's quotes: Day 1 Rally Finland 2012

Brendan and Rhianon have commenced Day 2 of Rally Finland after completing three stages on the opening day. Despite his 'conservative' approach on the first stage of the rally, Brendan recorded a time five seconds faster than on the same stage last year, and is heading in to Day 2 with plenty of confidence.

"It is good to be third after a slow start but after the first stage we pushed a lot harder and set strong times in on stages 2 and 3.

"Today there are nine stages with lots of different surfaces so it's going to be a big day. We are really looking forward to the challenge."
