Information
Date and time SS Information
06.10.2013 15:10 20 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I am happy because it is a rally where we have not done a single mistake. I am very happy now, because I have had a lot of pressure, I have had a lot of mistakes, three rallies in a row and it is eating your mind.
06.10.2013 14:10 19 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): If I can get third place I will be happy with that. Driving in the mud condition is not my strongest point so I need to improve that.
06.10.2013 13:10 18 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was quite bad, I am not good on these muddy conditions, I am not confident to push. For me it starts to be quite clear that I will be in third place.
06.10.2013 11:10 17 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It has been difficult, it has been the most difficult day of the rally. We have had more water and the grip levels keep changing.
06.10.2013 10:10 16 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was good stage, now I like this stage even though it was damp and water, there was no mud on the road.
06.10.2013 09:10 15 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I started quite ok, but it is very difficult. There is lot of mud come on to the road and very difficult to find the grip. These conditions might be too difficult to fight for the victory.
05.10.2013 15:10 14 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It is pretty impressive, it is incredible to be in a fight like it is. It is going to be very exciting tomorrow. I am happy, it has been a good day. A couple of stages I have been a bit cautious but the important thing is no mistakes.
05.10.2013 14:10 13 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It is not easy. I started to find more confidence, even this stage there were a couple of nasty places where there is mud on the road. When the tarmac is clean the grip is good.
06.10.2013 13:10 12 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): This morning was clean, it was very easy you know what the grip is like. Now it is more dry but there is wet mud coming into the road. It was not easy, for me it is more difficult in the afternoon.
05.10.2013 12:10 11 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Lets see how Loeb and Ogier is coming, they are fighting also, nothing is clear. It was a quite good run, but there was rain coming. Towards the end of the stage there was a cut and I did not like the cut. The car is good, on the cuts it was not so easy, on the cuts it was difficult.
05.10.2013 11:10 10 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Big fight going on. It was very good for me, at the very end a did a couple of little mistakes, I understeer at the end, otherwise it was a good stage.
05.10.2013 10:10 9 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was better than I expected, surprisingly good in some places. Overall it is better than I thought. Thierry is going really well, he is doing a good job. I need to get a lot of good confidence with the car. But it is going really well.
05.10.2013 09:10 8 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was good start, I lost everything on the first 2 splits, when we had a delay at the start of stage, I was not confident to know if there would be good temperature of the tyres. In a couple of places there wwere some big cuts, it was a surprise for me.
04.10.2013 16:10 7 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I admit I am disappointed with the performance on the long stage. Car was too soft, my mistake, not a good idea..
04.10.2013 15:10 6 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Let's say it was little bit more demanding with our tyres. We missed one junction.
04.10.2013 14:10 5 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I think the tyre choice was correct. We have hard tyres and the route was from 95% dry. But still the car was moving little bit.
04.10.2013 11:10 4 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Good feeling. I was running in the damp conditions in the test and Ogier was running in the dry conditions. I was a lot more confident.
04.10.2013 10:10 3 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I think the time was OK...in the beginning I took it carefully.
