Stage results Kennards Hire Rally Australia 2017

A new stage for 2017, although parts were driven in the opposite direction 12 months ago. It is moderately rough at the start and finish but smoother elsewhere. It mixes fast roads with big sweeping corners and tighter more technical sections.

Rovanperä Kalle
- Halttunen J.

"I changed the rear set up and it feels good - nice to drive. The pace notes are quite good with the new set-up. We have some problem with a sensor, which is costing us some power, but it's okay."

Lefebvre Stéphane
- Moreau Gabin

"Same story as before - I have one more puncture in the first stage. With one spare I have to be careful. Not good."

Lappi Esapekka
- Ferm Janne

"I was giving my all but I couldn't judge the grip level on the first pass. It seems I am too slow.”

Mikkelsen Andreas
- Jæger Anders

"It was good clean stage with no problems, just trying to keep a good rhythm."

Paddon Hayden
- Marshall S.

"Trying to attack a bit more. It went a bit better here but still room for improvement. I don't expect tyre wear will be a problem on the next stage."

Breen Craig
- Martin Scott

"Not really satisfied, I had to leave the soft tyre on for this stage."

Meeke Kris
- Nagle Paul

"A good stage, I couldn't do any more. Quite happy with my tyres. Hopefully it's a good package for the next stage. Let's see."

Evans Elfyn
- Barritt Daniel

"A bit better on the repeat pass, for sure I have a bit more confidence."

Latvala Jari-Matti
- Anttila M.

"Okay. We took a hard tyre, and on the loose gravel its okay, but on the polished surfaces I'm struggling."

Tänak Ott
- Järveoja Martin

"It was quite a slippery road, not so easy, and no aero again, so quite challenging." How does the lack of aero make the car behave? "We are driving looking through the side windows."
