Information
Date and time SS Information
03.08.2013 15:08 22 (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): accident in SS 22
03.08.2013 14:08 21 flash info (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): These two stages I do not like, I did not feel comfortable in these ruts. We had a half spin in this last junction and lost 4 or 5 seconds.
03.08.2013 13:08 20 flash info (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): A lot more rutted second pass. We are trying something a little bit different with the tyres. Hopefully it will benefit us later in the loop.
03.08.2013 11:08 19 flash info (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): It was quite nice, quite tricky, completely new stage, some nasty blind crests. I just took my time to be honest.
03.08.2013 10:08 18 flash info (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): My first time in there in 7 years, first time in a world rally car. It is like you are sitting in the front seat of a roller coaster with paddles to control the speed... I always dreamt of Finland in a world rally car and the Citroen have given me the chance.
03.08.2013 09:08 16 flash info (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): At the last junction I lost maybe 10 seconds. I think it was the right decision (decision to change his time on stage 8), but yesterday was yesterday and today is today...
02.08.2013 21:08 15 flash info (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): It is good. It is just so, so satisfying to be with a proper team and a proper car. I just feel so at home in the DS3. I have never driven this car in these type of conditions, but the speed was just so good.
02.08.2013 18:08 14 flash info (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): We hit a massive rock in the rut and we went into a wheelie... I am happy. This is the best hard day I have ever had, the car is incredible.
02.08.2013 16:08 13 flash info (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): We raised the car up, a lot better now and I am able to create my own rhythm.
02.08.2013 16:08 12 flash info (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): I did not have much confidence in the ruts. I learnt a little bit more and we go step by step. This second pass on these stages it can be very very rough.
02.08.2013 15:08 11 flash info (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): Confidence is quite good, I think we may be a bit low in some places, losing speed on the car. We may have to raise the car for the next few stages.
02.08.2013 12:08 10 flash info (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): When I am in the stage with nobody in front, I am really enjoying it. Again, we got a puncture while behind Evgeny and we have had to manage that as well.
02.08.2013 11:08 9 flash info (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): You have to realise when people are behind you, he (Novikov) has destroyed my position. I could not see anything, my windscreen is completely broken.
02.08.2013 10:08 8 flash info (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): We have a broken windscreen, a broken front wheel because of Evgeny Novikov, could he not look behind him!!!
02.08.2013 09:08 7 flash info (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): On this stage it was better to be first on the road, the gravel is just breaking up car by car. I had a good rhythm, no mistakes.
01.08.2013 11:08 1 flash info (10 - Meeke Kris / Patterson Chris): It is a horrible stage. Down the hill is not so nice, very bumpy. This is one that is going to clean a lot.
