Info
“It was a little bit better than the previous stage because we didn’t have a spin. But the tyres were wearing
out. Hopefully tomorrow can be a bit better.”
“It was quite okay but it was rougher than anyone of us expected. Apparently we are leading our class,
so I am happy with that.”
“There was a lot of gravel on the road. I tried to save my tyres but drove some sections totally flat out and
some quite carefully. It was an okay stage and result in overall is good.”
“It wasn’t very great, we wasted our tyres. In the end we didn’t have a lot of grip. I had to slow down in
the end of the stage.”
“There are some problems with the car.”
“This stage kills the tyres so I just tried to drive smart. I can push more, but at the moment I don’t think I
need to. We’re having a good speed. Maybe in my opinion but this is one of the most difficult stages of
this rally.”
“It is crazy to drive here. We got stuck in the snowbank, but we got out. We’re here to learn, this was the
mistake which I did today. But it is so much fun to drive these stages in the night.”
“I was flat out but we lost grip towards the end of the stage.”
“I have to push a bit less because our front tyres are gone. We try to keep the same gap as in the morning.
It was quite an okay stage.”
“It was a very difficult stage butt we managed quite well still. We got a bit stuck in the snowbanks and
lost time, we gotta push more.”
“I mean I am happy to be back, but the road is very slippery though. The first part was nice, I am really
looking for tomorrow.”
"It's very difficult in the dark because you're fully sideways and you don't know what you are going to hit! I am really starting to understand everything now, so it was very enjoyable and great to drive on this stage."
"Shocking. The last 3km were a huge surprise to me. I was missing the front in a few places and I really wasn't trying to protect them because I didn't think I would be losing studs."
"I was on my limit. The rhythm felt quite good, it was difficult conditions to drive clean but still go fast. I'm happy for my driving."
changed a puncture
"I tried to be very nice to the tyres at the beginning and after 10km I thought - the tyres were finished - and I knew there was still 20km to go. In the end it was just handbrake. I tried to be as nice as possible, but it was difficult, it's just such a hard surface."
"Pretty god damn good! In the dark, it's just relying on the notes and it was much better than the first one. We gave away so much time on the first stage which was disappointing, but at least it's good now."
"It's very challenging. On a lot of crests you can not see ahead, which makes it more scary for you! At the end of the stage we had a puncture so I had to slow down. We survived this tricky stage so I am happy!"
"Not good. The stage is in really bad condition with a lot of gravel, so my front tyres are completely gone and I lost a lot of time at the end. If somebody can manage their tyres really good, they will be really quick."
"In the conditions, I am quite satisfied. I had a lot of understeer towards the end and I thought I had a puncture so I took a lot of speed off."
"Not easy, especially towards the end with a lot of loose snow. It was often quite difficult to get the car turned in, but we tried."
"It's a different story but the time difference will be the same. I did what I could but it was quite difficult. We'll see what we can do tomororw, but it looks like we will be quite far away already."
