Information
Date and time SS Information
18.02.2024 13:02 18 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's really, really good for us to be on the podium, after coming back to Rally1. It's been two really hard years but we never gave up and to be on the podium in Sweden is really special. Honestly, I have no words, it's just so nice.
18.02.2024 12:02 17 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I was trying to forget that we are in this position. I just wanted to enjoy; you drive more comfortably and easier that way. It's quite hard for the tyres. Still one stage to go. The main goal is to get to the podium.
18.02.2024 12:02 16 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): For us now, it's just to consolidate the podium. We took the points for second yesterday. To be fair, I had no good feeling at the beginning so didn't take any risks. It's ok. This could be my first ever podium, so I just want to get it.
17.02.2024 19:02 15 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I saw the video before the stage and I thought it was the corner before. When I realised Munster was there, it was too late. But what a good day overall! Up and down, wow, but I'm happy. We're here, P2. I'm really, really happy.
17.02.2024 19:02 15 (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): was in the snowbank, but didnt stopped
17.02.2024 17:02 14 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): There were a lot of gravel sections, so I just tried to keep my tyres as long as possible with one stage still to go. I hope we have kept enough! I'm really enjoying it. In the dark and in-between the snow banks, it's really something nice.
17.02.2024 15:02 13 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I'm enjoying the drive, but I just want to do my own rally and try to manage the tyres - it's quite hard for them. We are doing a good job and I'm quite happy with that, especially this afternoon. We'll see. There are still two stages to go.
17.02.2024 15:02 12 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): There were a lot of rocks everywhere on the road, and I was scared to get a puncture so I decided to push less in the last part. I even thought we had a puncture, but no. It's quite rough, like a gravel stage. I just wanted to get through. It's ok. It's good.
17.02.2024 12:02 11 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): For sure, I had a really good stage. We changed a little bit the set-up before that one and found something really good. There was more cleaning on that stage, which helped us also, but to be fair, I'm quite happy with my pace on that one. It could be my first podium [this weekend], so we need to stay on the road now.
17.02.2024 12:02 10 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's a crazy rally. Many things are happening. The grip is quite good, but sometimes it's really easy to get stuck in a snowbank if you carry too much speed. It's really a shame for Taka Katsuta; he was doing a really good job. Sometimes these things happen. For sure, it's good news for us.
17.02.2024 12:02 9 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I didn't have any feeling in the stage because the grip was lower than I'd thought. I was struggling to get the confidence, but they are nicer conditions now. I need to drive faster!
16.02.2024 19:02 8 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I expected much better conditions in that stage. The grip was quite low and I overshot twice.
16.02.2024 17:02 7 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Honestly, I was really struggling to see the corners, because we have lights but it's snowing. Many times, I was just braking in the lines. I'm really proud to be on the podium for now, because the conditions are crazy.
16.02.2024 16:02 6 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's really difficult. I'm driving really slowly and carefully. As soon as you get a little bit out of the line, there is no grip. I don't have confidence, I just want to get through. There's still a long stage to do in the dark - the day is not finished yet.
16.02.2024 15:02 5 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I'm really surprised I set the fastest time. It's the first time I've driven when it's still snowing, and I was driving so slow. The conditons are just crazy. I don't feel like I'm driving, just surviving. If you go outside of the lines, you lose control of the car.
16.02.2024 12:02 4 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We had a really close call with Tänak. We caught him in a really fast corner, flat, nearly 180km/h. He was just at the exit and I didn't see him before - I'm lucky he saw me!
16.02.2024 12:02 3 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I'm struggling a little bit to find the apex of the corners. Sometimes I'm a bit wide, sometimes too close and I touch a bit the snowbank. It's not easy because the visibility is quite low and we're losing some grip with the snow on top of the road but it's ok - we're still here.
16.02.2024 12:02 2 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was quite difficult to see the road due to the low visibility and I struggled to have a nice feeling.
15.02.2024 19:02 1 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I am happy with my drive. Grip was changing quite sometimes. Sometimes I was too wide and hitting snowbanks.
