Info

#23

Kajetanowicz K.
- Szczepaniak M.

"The sand got into the air filter so that's why we lost so much time. Our mistake. At the beginning, maybe 4-5km."

#22

Greensmith Gus
- Andersson Jonas

"It's going okay. On these last two be backed off to make it back to service. Just driving around rocks!"

#21

Ciamin Nicolas
- Roche Yannick

"Now we know what's Safari and it's not even raining yet. The grip is changing all the time, the car is doing what it wants to do. We are hitting the floor of the car. We are still here."

#20

Solberg Oliver
- Edmondson E.

"What the hell can you do? Crazy high pressures. You take it easy in the rocky section and you still get a slow puncture. Without WRC tyres it's no fun. From now on it's flat out."

#19

Serderidis Jourdan
- Miclotte F.

Puncture

#23

Kajetanowicz K.
- Szczepaniak M.

Mechanical issues. Driving slow.

#19

Serderidis Jourdan
- Miclotte F.

"I like it aswell. New notes so it's good. We have another puncture for the last 9kms. But it's okay, we had fun."

#20

Solberg Oliver
- Edmondson E.

Stopped on the junction to the last straight. Changing a puncture.

#13

Munster Grégoire
- Louka Louis

"Gentle with the car. I drive like it's a Rally2. It's a very long rally. I saw that Thierry had a puncture and I had a very close call with the front tyres. Struggling a bit with the front."

#69

Rovanperä Kalle
- Halttunen J.

"This stage has been really nice every year. For sure I want to commit and even with the new notes. There are very heavy things in this long stage."

#18

Katsuta Takamoto
- Johnston Aaron

"In this one I was a bit too careful. Not trying to go fast and keep like this, but still improve. We will see at the end of the weekend. That jump is not too comfortable with the tree."

Lappi Esapekka
- Ferm Janne

"All good, no problems. Quite a steady stage. Everything good. Not really satisifed with the damping we have, kicked me out of the line."

Tänak Ott
- Järveoja Martin

"I tried to have a clean run. Very very dangerous in places, some places we were really on the nose. The car is running okay so no drama for us."

#16

Fourmaux Adrien
- Coria Alexandre

"I had a really clean stage to be fair. We slowed down the car, I was quite careful with the rocks in some places. We have to do a lot of changes."

#33

Evans Elfyn
- Martin Scott

"Tricky. The vision is very difficult, it's so high speed. Okay, for sure it can be a lot better. Disappointed with the morning as a whole. We need to figure out what to change and do this afternoon."

#11

Neuville Thierry
- Wydaeghe M.

"It was okay. Better than I thought. Lucky we had the mask. We were expecting more dust on the windscreen. We were very unlucky with the puncture, we also lost the hybrid."

#11

Neuville Thierry
- Wydaeghe M.

Wearing masks & goggles to avoid possible dust issues as the puncture ripped off a lot of parts off the car.
