“Today it has been a real challenge. This one was really bad for the tyres, I had to slow down a lot because there was no grip and I didn’t want to do any mistakes. We want to catch Eyvind Brynildsen in the front. We need to go fast tomorrow.”

Lappi Esapekka
- Ferm Janne

“It is nice, it is just too pretty long for the tyres. After 10 kilometres it became very tricky and challenging. It is the same for everyone. I was too wide on one left turn and stuck for a while. The tyres are pretty done.”

Brynildsen E.
- Gulbæk Engan V.

“It’s been a fantastic day, actually every day in a rally car is the best day. We are satisfied with our fourth place in our class at the moment. We are trying to keep up the good pace. In overall it’s a good day.”

#20

Mikkelsen Andreas
- Fløene Ola

“It was okay. I was very careful towards the end. I didn’t need to push because we had a good gap.’’

#38

Kaur Egon
- Simm Silver

"It was okay, snow is really tricky and it started snowing. Visibility is not so great. Trying to get back some time but we are losing some. Let's see tomorrow now."

Johnston Sean
- Kihurani A.

"Wooh! Studs are wobbly! Few too many interactions with the snowbanks in this one. Incredibly fun, amazing to drive this stage at night. Feeling a lot more comfortable."

#28

Linnamäe Georg
- Korsia V.

"We were sideways on the road and couldn't get out just near the finish."

#29

Prokop Martin
- Ernst Michal

"Very nice, enjoyable day. Very nice conditions. Not so fast, but a lot of learning for us with the new car. Racing in Finland is always great, I like everything. In the summer it's more crazy but in these conditions it's amazing."

Tänak Ott
- Järveoja Martin

"It went to plan. The tyres were quite tired, so it was important to get here without any mistakes."

Ogier Sébastien
- Ingrassia J.

"Last real corner - we went a little bit too sideways and caught the bank. It's a shame, but it's a weekend to forget."

#42

Breen Craig
- Nagle Paul

"It's so frustrating for me. We needed to bring our top game here and I'm not really bringing it today. I tried to use what I know with my little experience but it's not easy for sure."

#69

Rovanperä Kalle
- Halttunen J.

"I think Thierry made the right choice with the tyres. It was really clever from him, I have to say. Tomorrow we have to push and we will see what we can do."

#11

Neuville Thierry
- Wydaeghe M.

"It was a really good stage. The car was working really nice and I tried to save my tyres throughout the whole stage. It was a very clean run and the communication is better, but we can still improve."

#33

Evans Elfyn
- Martin Scott

"The grip was very low towards the end and I was too careful, I didn't take enough chances. That's how it is but we're still here."

Suninen Teemu
- Markkula Mikko

"The stage before, we started to have a lot of movement on the tyres. Now we fit some new tyres to the front - I still believe this one was quite okay."

Solberg Oliver
- Marshall S.

"It's a very tricky corner. I lost my glasses, so I think I drove faster because I couldn't see!"

#44

Greensmith Gus
- Edmondson E.

"It's been tricky this afternoon just getting the car to do what I want it to do. Whatever we tried just didn't seem to work. It's still pretty special."

Ogier Sébastien
- Ingrassia J.

"It's nice to drive - I really enjoyed. I made a small mistake on one junction - we had to use the handbrake and hit the rear on the snow bank."
