'In the end it was a nice final, very intense. I did a good semi-final too and enjoyed racing the 208 WRX throughout the weekend. With the position that I had on the start line in each race this weekend, it was always going to be difficult and that proved to be the case. We ended up with 6th in the end, which is actually not too bad all things considered because at one point we were 12th after qualifying. It's not the result we wanted but we have to accept it for what it is and move on. The thing that I am convinced about is that we have a good package. We just need to put everything together. I'm looking forward to a brighter weekend for the whole team in Latvia.' Kevin Hansen, PEUGEOT 208 WRX #71 'It was a strong weekend: we struggled a little bit during practice, but we came back really well. We had some great races and showed really good pace, but I couldn't quite keep it all the way to the end. I think to be just outside the final though, with all the factory cars there, was the maximum we could do. So I was happy with my performance for that reason but of course we still wanted to be in the final! I know I'm still young and we still have plenty to learn. Loheac is always special and it was very cool to see the fans supporting me. It's definitely been a memorable and educational few days in France.'
