Quote
WTCC - Slovakia: Lada's new recruit Rob Huff, who after qualifying 12th had wished for rain in today opening race, admitted the race one conditions hadn't been exactly what he had in mind.

WRC - Argentina: Neuville comes through in 15m11.6s. The conditions are not popular right now:

Before him, Kubica fumed:
"It's undriveable. So much mud I have no control. With no experience in these condition, it's so dangerous. The car was out for control."
