Other info
El Montmell has a good surface but it’s narrow throughout, and there are some very high-speed cuts to focus drivers’ minds. The opening is extremely quick, with a chicane before Can Ferrer de la Cogullada to reduce speeds. After the village, the route becomes twistier before finishing with a dizzying bend-filled descent known as Les Ventoses. Extended at the finish by 260 metres from 12 months ago.

Info
"Now the temperature is increasing I feel I have more understeer, it's not nice. I tried to drive on the limit. I know how to drive on Tarmac, I don't want to change too much."
"I tried to push but I'm not so happy. I struggled with understeer. It's hard to push harder. That's how it is."
"Really happy. A good run. Quite a lot of pollution. It's a long time since I've been in this position, just trying to manage it." And the time loss in the second half? "Overly cautious in the dirty corners."
"I'm still discovering this car, it's fantastic and I enjoy it. Okay, a bit of a disappointment to lose time, but eight seconds to the faster driver is incredible."
"No, the car feels okay," he says. "I still struggled a bit with understeer and we can make a few changes but it's difficult to make a difference in these conditions. We have to be clever."
"I tried to do my best, a little bit of understeer. I tried to do a perfect stage and enjoyed a lot."
"Nothing special. No problems, just trying not to overheat the tyres, perhaps I could have pushed them more. I'm happy though."
"Quite difficult. It was not meant to drive on Tarmac. A challenge for me, I have to try and live with it."
"I tried to push in a couple of places. It was not so bad."
"Near the end we had to avoid a rock on the road, but no drama. Otherwise a lot of gravel on the road."
"A better feeling for sure. The guys made some changes in service, which have helped, but it's more or less the same story."
"A lot more loose gravel on the surface compared to this morning. I had to back off in some places."
The Estonian's Fiesta gets a new gearbox in service. Unfortunately, it's in gravel spec and he'll be driving on asphalt. "That means we won’t have the right diff set-up for this afternoon so it will be a bit more difficult, but hopefully we can keep up the pace.”
