Info

#37

Rathod Minesh
- Noble Gordon

Double puncture

#23

Kajetanowicz K.
- Szczepaniak M.

"Everything is fine. For the safari rally, it's perfect. Many rocks in the middle of the road so you have to follow the incorrect line."

#22

Greensmith Gus
- Andersson Jonas

"I had a message that Oliver had a puncture and no risk in there."

#24

Tundo Carl
- Jessop Tim

Puncture about 1km into the stage, changed

#21

Ciamin Nicolas
- Roche Yannick

"Completely different from the previous one. Much more flat and more loose stones on the road. Had to take it easy. Still discovering everything."

#20

Solberg Oliver
- Edmondson E.

"I don't know, it was in the beginning on the straight. Can't say anything.. there's rocks everywhere! It's Africa! In an R5 it's not easy with these tyres."

#19

Serderidis Jourdan
- Miclotte F.

"I like it! Fast! I can go faster, but first time I go so fast so.. it's okay."

#13

Munster Grégoire
- Louka Louis

"A lot of cleaning, but it's quite good from behind. Never seen such big rocks always on the line, had to drive around them. I heard Thierry had a puncture, didn't want to do the same."

#20

Solberg Oliver
- Edmondson E.

Puncture about 1km into the stage, changed mid stage

#69

Rovanperä Kalle
- Halttunen J.

"This one was not so bad. On the fast corners it's not easy on this rally, the setup is not optimal for this stage and with two spares it's a bit sketchy sometimes."

#18

Katsuta Takamoto
- Johnston Aaron

"Quite messy in places, easy to get punctures. Impossible to avoid big rocks in some places. All good."

Lappi Esapekka
- Ferm Janne

"A couple of mistakes, but was okay, nothing special. A couple of times I was not breaking enough for the regen and missed the boost on the uphill. Lots of places to improve for the second pass."

#16

Fourmaux Adrien
- Coria Alexandre

"Done some changes to the car, the first one was really difficult to drive. It's going in a good direction, felt comfortable in this stage. Want to do my drive and we'll see. The car was jumping too much on the rear, so we changed quite a lot."

#33

Evans Elfyn
- Martin Scott

"Not easy still to be honest, struggling with the balance quite a lot. Very very loose. We tried."

#11

Neuville Thierry
- Wydaeghe M.

WRC TV replay shows Neuville hitting a bank on the outside of a corner, knocking the rear right wheel off the rim

#11

Neuville Thierry
- Wydaeghe M.

"I don't know where, but very early into the stage. Car was showing me two punctures.. I don't know if it's true but rear left felt still okay."

#11

Neuville Thierry
- Wydaeghe M.

Puncture, rear left right
