Other info
Nambucca is one of the longest stages of the season. It is fast and flowing with big corners and crests, although there is a 4km area in the middle which is extremely tight between trees. Jumps and small sections of asphalt mean this test has everything. It has been lengthened from 2016 with a new 2.25km segment at the finish.

Info
"A big physical challenge. I had a bit of a slow down in the middle but got my rhythm back before the end. The grip is fantastic."
"This was a very different stage and I really enjoyed it. Fun when it's technical and so long - it tests the concentration."
"I was flat out, but we are on two different tyre strategies so we will see over the weekend. Mine was not optimum in here. I'm saving my soft tyres for later."
"I tried, and it felt good. I have no idea why, but the other guys are just faster - and that's it."
"We tried to do a good stage but I was a bit disturbed by my sweating - I was sweating like hell and it affected my concentration."
"Feeling great. The grip was good but it's my first time here so I couldn't show my full potential."
"The beginning was wet and felt quite good, after that it dried out and I struggled with the balance."
"I've never driven a stage so bad in my life, with the rain, full wet and mud and then dry. On these tyres it was tricky. We had to look after the soft tyres - we don't have many."
"Full wet would have been nicer for us. Let's see what the next stage looks like. I think it will be difficult to get back in the fight but we will not give up."
"A difficult one. After we spun it took some time to to restart. Then a strange feeling with the car."
"A really enjoyable stage but the grip level is extremely low for us."
"It was wet near the start so the grip was good but then it dried up and we started to struggle. We knew it would be like this. The rain was a bonus."
