Akira Miura (JPN) #203 Toyota Hilux Overdrive, Ultimate group
🎤This time, I came to Greece for the first time. The FIA Baja World Cup's Baja Greece, the second round of Baja Greece, will be held this weekend. This is my first time in this country, and the weather is really nice, and most importantly, the food is delicious, so I can relax and enjoy my time here. Although I've only been here for a short time, I have a very favorable impression of this country. And this time, it will be my first participation in the T1 class in my rally career. This time, I will be participating for the first time in the Hilux T1 class of the Overdrive team. Yesterday and today I received a lecture on the car, and today I did a brief test drive. First of all, here it is. This is the Toyo Tires Open Country MTR, which was developed specifically for the T1 class for the first time, so to speak, it is still a prototype tire. For the purpose of evaluating this tire, I was asked by the team's driver this time. So, the main theme this time will be the evaluation of this tire and my first challenge in T1 for myself. Although I have only driven a short distance, I have realized that the car is completely different between T1 and T2. It has an amazing level of completion, the car is very fast, and it is controllable, but I still have a lot to learn to understand this car properly and perform well, so I want to approach the race of this first round calmly while learning about the car thoroughly.

Claude Fournier (FRA) #404 Can-Am Maverick, SSV group
🎤Hello, Claude Fournier, I am here in Baja Greece for the first time, in a beautiful country. We will see what happens on the tracks. I've been told it's a very fast WRC with gravel, probably some dust as well. This year, it seems the weather will be nice. Compared to last year, it was non-stop rain and mud. So, I continue with my favorite team MMP, my co-driver Serge Gounon, and also what I wanted to say is that I was the veteran of the race. So maybe they will give me a veterans' trophy for this race 😂
So, I hope everything goes well. I'm doing this race before the Baja World Championship. I believe this is the second race this year out of about ten races. I hope it goes well and we'll see what happens here for the first time. I also wanted to thank all my sponsors. My favorite village Verdigny and mainly my sponsor Avia. They help me a lot. Without them, I couldn't participate in this kind of race.

🎤Good evening. I'm Cleric of the Course, I'm Alekos Apostolidis of World Paya Cup. Welcome you, all the competitors, to the region of Western Macedonia in Argos, Oresti. We are the second round of the World Paya Cup and we hope that this Cup will be success and every year we are going to have more and more competitors that are interesting for the World Paya Cup. This year the race has two days of competition and there is one special stage that is added 51 km.
The competitors are doing two times with a small service park in the middle. Then the next day, Saturday, they are going to have also two special stages where it's 150 km each one. They are going to compete twice. Usually the area is straight, it's not like the other areas that it's high speed and very fast special stages. In the mountain of Rigi the special stages are very technical and generally the competitors, they have to fight with the curves that we have 100 and 100. And finally, as far as we know from the previous years, everybody is satisfied with this kind of race.
