INFORMATION ABOUT SS 12
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The first stage was fine this morning, but on the second one I was probably a bit too safe which cost us some time.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): This morning was extremely damp and muddy in places. This one was the first time all weekend that we had grip on the stage.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): For sure, it seems that this year there are a lot more fans on the rally. It's really cool to see all the people and it's nice when the stages are like this. It's cool.
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's a good super special. Interesting - there are some characteristics which normally you don't have on a super special. This one is enjoyable and good for the spectators.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I can't say we are happy with the morning, but with the super special we are quite happy. It's quite a fun one actually.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Of course, lots of people here so it's very enjoyable to drive. I was probably too aggressive so maybe it was not smooth enough, and the time looks not so good.
