Other info
Coffs Harbour’s fan favourite street stage in the jetty area is concentrated in a small area that provides stunning views of Boambee Beach. The action on the mainly asphalt stage will be spectacular with roundabout turns, a banked corner and two jumps. Driven in a different format to 2016.
Info
"We expected to have some difficulties today but the car's small technical issue made it even harder. Tomorrow we be the same story - we just start again. What can I do? Nothing - just drive."
"I'm satisfied. I think we have done the maximum we could today. We gave it a go and I'm still aiming for victory. It's a pity the start order was settled two stage ago - it will be difficult against Andreas but we will try."
"Not bad, but it should have been better. Tomorrow we need the whole package - at least my road position will be better than today."
"Today has been generally okay. I'm quite pleased with the afternoon but I wasn't consistent enough in the morning. Now we focus on day two. We won't have a bad road position."
"Today has not been great in terms of overall performance. This afternoon was better - with a better feeling for the stages. Second on the road tomorrow will mean a struggle in the first passes I think."
"I really enjoyed it, a very good day. Just one mistake today, and in a way I was lucky it happened when it did. Okay, those 12 seconds would have put me closer to Andreas, but there's a long way to go. I'm enjoying the car, so we'll see how we do tomorrow - a 50km stage at 7am will be interesting."
"I made a silly mistake on the first pass but that was much better. We've had a couple of things go against us this afternoon but otherwise for our first day down under no so bad."
"A pretty straightforward stage here - a bit of fun. The day hasn't been what we wanted but tonight we'll go back to the drawing board and look to improve tomorrow. We'll look through the data and try and find something."
"A really nice day, trying to take advantage of my road position. We have driven clean stages, with no mistakes, and we have a good lead to take into tomorrow. We will try and increase our lead in the morning but I'm sure Kris and Thierry will put up a big fight."
"We lost the race at the same time as the power steering. The afternoon was positive - let's say it like this - but it's not so good to be cleaning the road tomorrow."
