06. 10. 2013 15:24 CET 20 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): So happy, so much emotion this weekend. We try to push all the time to the maximum, yesterday we had a a good day. The conditions were so tricky today, not easy, but we bring the car back. We are close to the manufacturer title as well and that is so important.
06. 10. 2013 15:22 CET 20 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): Always you are disappointed when you finish second, but it was a very difficult rally and we put in a good performance. We fight all the time for the first place. When you are in the car and you see how difficult it is to takes seconds, and Ogier is 15-seconds in front. It was a good fight with Jari-Matti Latvala.
06. 10. 2013 15:14 CET 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 15:10 CET 20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I wanted to show I could have won this rally. Big disappointment for me, I must accept it, there are still two more opportunities this year to win. One mistake and sometime you are lucky and sometimes you are unlucky. Happy to be on the pace with these drivers. I must take positive, but this was the first time we were leading with a big gap. I want to win one rally this year and we must do everything we can to achieve this goal.
06. 10. 2013 15:07 CET 20 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): I think we did maximum what we could, I am satisfied with the result for this rally. It was a good rally for us generally, I like this rally, I like these stages.
06. 10. 2013 15:04 CET 20 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): We have done a big step in the right direction, today was a set back, we had a strange brake problem but I do not know what it is. Very quickly I lose the brakes on the front and just locking the rear. It's a bit frustration as we want to improve today and we have not been able. Hopefully we can start Spain where we ended here.
06. 10. 2013 15:00 CET 20 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It hass been a difficult weekend. Just one of those weekends where it has been difficult to get a good feeling with your driving.
06. 10. 2013 14:57 CET 20 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): For sure it is my first event on tarmac in a Polo. We have some work to do, just got to go home now and study things and come back stronger.
06. 10. 2013 14:55 CET 20 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): It has been very productive two days as I never drive in wet with these tyres.
06. 10. 2013 14:55 CET 20 flash info (22 - Dumas Romain / Giraudet Denis): Very long. Hard condition, the weather was terrible, I am very happy to finish without any scratches. It was good fun, I hope if I do one more time it will be completely dry.
06. 10. 2013 14:35 CET 19 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): This one was a bit more easy than the one before. This one was okay, we had a good drive.
06. 10. 2013 14:32 CET 19 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): With Ogier it is difficult. I dont like this stage, very slippery and a lot of stone everywhere.
06. 10. 2013 14:31 CET 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 14:29 CET 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I think we show we could have win this rally. I know I slide 10cm too wide, I know it was my mistake. It is a shame as we were very strong this weekend.
06. 10. 2013 14:28 CET 19 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): First of all, I try to work on myself and take some experience from this rally, next year we will be much more confident. I am happy with the result we show now. The rally was quite good for us.
06. 10. 2013 14:24 CET 19 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It is a lot worse, not doing so good with the brakes. Try to fix it, tried many different things, we did not find it before this one. It comes and goes that is the thing. Sometimes I had perfect brakes and some times I dont.
06. 10. 2013 14:22 CET 19 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Most of the stage just a small drizzle. It was better this one.
06. 10. 2013 14:21 CET 19 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): It is better now after the small regroup. I feel more comfortable and I feel I am more comfortable with the grip. Still a lot to learn…
06. 10. 2013 14:18 CET 19 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): It has been a tough rally, but it has not finished yet, there is still one more stage to go. It has been great weekend until now.
06. 10. 2013 14:18 CET 19 flash info (22 - Dumas Romain / Giraudet Denis): It was ok, I increase the tyre pressure and maybe give more grip. I just try to finish, I do not want any problem.
06. 10. 2013 13:16 CET 18 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I have been cautious on the stage and that is the strategy now. It was a good stage.
06. 10. 2013 13:14 CET 18 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): For me the conditions was more tricky this morning than now, now it is more muddy. It is ok, good fight with Jari-Matti.
06. 10. 2013 13:12 CET 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 13:11 CET 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Very difficult conditions, like cross-country conditions. I went straight on a junction, I put on the handbrake and may be lost 1 or 2 seconds.
06. 10. 2013 13:09 CET 18 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): It was ok, very very slippery, not the best stage to drive when it is wet, very fast, very narrow, no grip at all out of the road.
06. 10. 2013 13:07 CET 18 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): We jut really got stuck in a junction, did not really go off the road. We had problems with the brakes and I not have brakes in the rear. I went a little bit wide and I just got stuck.
06. 10. 2013 13:05 CET 18 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was really slippy in the muddy corners, we had a couple of slides ourself. Big slides in the fields, it is really tricky. I have received message that Ostberg has some problems so I have slowed down.
06. 10. 2013 13:03 CET 18 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): I am quite happy with that stage, no mistakes, but really tricky conditions
06. 10. 2013 13:02 CET 18 (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): was out of road
06. 10. 2013 13:01 CET 18 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): It was good, we had quite good time, we have try different thing on these muddy conditions.
06. 10. 2013 12:58 CET 18 flash info (22 - Dumas Romain / Giraudet Denis): It was good fun on this stage. It was quite exciting, I didnt take any risk, I want to finish the rally.
06. 10. 2013 12:57 CET 18 flash info (75 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): I didnt take any necessary risk, we were trying to make clean line, no problems.

06. 10. 2013 11:55 CET 17 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): It is very slippery and on the white lines it is very slippery, it is easy to take off a wheel. We were driving in very safe mode.

06. 10. 2013 11:43 CET 17 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): I struggle to get a good feeling. The next stage is gonna be very very muddy.
06. 10. 2013 11:40 CET 17 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Two proper stages were ok, this one I struggle a lot. Some strange thing with my brakes, I do not have any front brakes.
06. 10. 2013 11:37 CET 17 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It has been a bit more predictable now. Suddenly I made a really good time, I am happy with that. Now when it is good and clean, I had a good time.
06. 10. 2013 11:35 CET 17 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): Very slippery on this stage also, very easy to do a mistake. I am more surprised with the times today, we did not do any mistake and the time is not there.
06. 10. 2013 11:33 CET 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Yesterday when we got the puncture, we got a hole in the car and now we have a lot of fog on the windscreen.
06. 10. 2013 11:27 CET 17 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It is going to be so tough in the afternoon, especially in the first stage. This morning was perfect.
06. 10. 2013 11:26 CET 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 11:25 CET 17 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It will be very difficult to catch Ogier- Condition of the road will be very muddy, but we will try.
06. 10. 2013 11:20 CET 16 retired (148 - De Ridder Guillaume / Declerck Kurt): retired in SS 16
06. 10. 2013 11:14 CET 16 flash info (121 - Baud Lionel / Chioso Alex): We have some problems with engine, I hope we will repair it in service.
06. 10. 2013 11:13 CET 16 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): Stages y are very very tricky. There is standing water and some very tricky places.
06. 10. 2013 11:10 CET 16 flash info (22 - Dumas Romain / Giraudet Denis): No grip, I did not feel very confident, I did not want to take any risks. I should have increased the pressure in the tyres before the start, my mistake.
06. 10. 2013 11:08 CET 16 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): These conditions are really not enjoyable. Happy that I am here as some big moments. On the fast corners, you lose the traction, not nice moments. I am happy to be in finish.
06. 10. 2013 11:07 CET 16 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): Struggling in the braking, always braking too early, I need to work on that. So many fast sections where we could go much faster.
06. 10. 2013 11:05 CET 16 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): I think it was quite good, very tricky conditions. I think we are managing quite well, the feeling is quite good and I am happy. It is a totally different rally today. We are trying as good as we can all the time.
06. 10. 2013 11:03 CET 16 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Stages are really difficult, this stage was not as difficult as last year.
06. 10. 2013 11:02 CET 16 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): Quite slippery, was last year it was the same on Sunday. These stages are not the best when they are slippery and it rains, they are quite narrow and a lot of mud comes from the cars in front.
06. 10. 2013 11:01 CET 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): For me it was quite ok. I enjoyed the stage, the car feels good. There was some standing water but we managed.
06. 10. 2013 10:57 CET 16 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I was just pushing and it was quite hot in the car, but we did it well, that was quite perfect.
06. 10. 2013 10:56 CET 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 10:55 CET 16 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It was ok. Very slippery, tricky stage this one, but the next one will also be difficult.
06. 10. 2013 14:33 CET 15 Weather in France is rainy, roads are wet.
06. 10. 2013 10:00 CET 15 retired (135 - Di Nisi Marc / Di Nisi Laurent): retired in SS 15

06. 10. 2013 09:55 CET 15 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): Not easy conditions, fortunately we do not have to push, so it is fine. Very tricky stage. Stage is completely wet with lot of mud, it is not easy at all.
06. 10. 2013 09:54 CET 15 flash info (22 - Dumas Romain / Giraudet Denis): It is very difficult. So dirty. First time in the corner with mud, I went on the grass.
06. 10. 2013 09:52 CET 15 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): Absolutely no visibility, the windscreen was foggy, absolutely no visibility. I will try to repair it on road section.
06. 10. 2013 09:51 CET 15 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): Hopefully get a good feeling and it is not easy in these conditions. We hit some water and went straight on into the field… The feeling with the car is more precise, but very different conditions to yesterday.
06. 10. 2013 09:50 CET 15 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It is not perfect, definitely difficult conditions. It is a competition and you need to try and push as hard as you can. I had good information in the pacenotes and was able to commit on the pacenotes.
06. 10. 2013 09:47 CET 15 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Just went straight in one junction and lost many seconds there. It was very slippery there. I just went straight into the field.
06. 10. 2013 09:46 CET 15 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): It was very slippery and a lot of mud and I think for the cars behind it will be very difficult. I try to keep a good line.
06. 10. 2013 09:43 CET 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): In very fast right Loeb just went deep in the ditch, but they are ok. Very difficult stage.
06. 10. 2013 09:40 CET 15 (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): was out of road, continue
06. 10. 2013 09:39 CET 15 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We pushed, some moments a little but, happy with the start.
06. 10. 2013 09:38 CET 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.
06. 10. 2013 09:37 CET 15 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It was ok, very easy to make a mistake in this rally. I try to drive well but it is very easy to make a mistake. A lot of standing water on the stage.

06. 10. 2013 09:35 CET 15 (1 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): rolled

06. 10. 2013 14:09 CET 14 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): It has been okay. It seems like always when I am starting it starts raining even more. It has been good day, we have driven with good pace.
05. 10. 2013 15:11 CET 14 flash info (22 - Dumas Romain / Giraudet Denis): It was drizzling and the last chicane I hit the front right, it was not so good.
05. 10. 2013 15:10 CET 14 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): Special rain for me… Visibility is really bad now with the rain and the dark cloud, it is very dangerous stage with the concrete blocks. During the day we improve quite a lot and the last two stages we had good places.
05. 10. 2013 15:09 CET 14 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): I am just smiling because we are always lucky the the rain, it just started when we started the stage. It is going in the right direction, I am very pleased with the developments we have had during the day. I am confident that I am able to go faster.
05. 10. 2013 15:08 CET 14 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Some places we were able to try, but it was not much fun today. It has been a tough day, struggling to have a good feeling. At least we have not made any mistakes and are still in the rally.
05. 10. 2013 15:07 CET 14 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): I am satisfied with today, everything is quite good. I think the result is quite good with what we have.
05. 10. 2013 15:06 CET 14 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): Not easy, I cant believe it.
05. 10. 2013 15:05 CET 14 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It is a great battle, very hard. We had a perfect day almost to day, we really pushed hard all the day. We have to continue like that to the end.
05. 10. 2013 15:04 CET 14 flash info (1 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): It is very tight, a very tough fight. I try to push hard all the day, not always happy with the car, myself and everything but not so bad.
05. 10. 2013 15:03 CET 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 15:02 CET 14 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): Today was a great day, I think that both Sebastians and Latvala are both good. I am happy with my performance and happy to be fighting with the best in the world.
05. 10. 2013 15:01 CET 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It is our first puncture for this season and sometime it happen. We were setting good times, this is important, we have shown that we can be in front of two world champions as well.
05. 10. 2013 14:11 CET 13 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): It has been a good day for us, not a proper stage but very tricky stage. We have gone through difficult day without any problems. It was first time for me driving these tyres on the wet.
05. 10. 2013 14:10 CET 13 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): The last part is really wet, some corners were full of water, you get aquaplaning.
05. 10. 2013 14:09 CET 13 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It was quite a difficult stage, a few big surprises in there, I had to be careful, there was nothing else to do.
05. 10. 2013 14:08 CET 13 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It has been like this the whole weekend, inconsistent conditions. With my pace I made it through and that is something. In the forest a couple of places that were really muddy.
05. 10. 2013 14:07 CET 13 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): It was not easy, so many corners the car was all over the place. You need to think about the grip everywhere. Just on the start line and it starts to rain.
05. 10. 2013 14:06 CET 13 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): Very difficult, again it is quite different for everybody. When we started there was no rain, then rain came. No reason for me to push 100%. Pushing without any moments.
05. 10. 2013 14:05 CET 13 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): For sure it is bad luck, today I am last and it is raining after the front runners.
05. 10. 2013 14:04 CET 13 flash info (1 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): It is raining like hell in the stage. We had some aquaplaning, we do what we can.
05. 10. 2013 14:03 CET 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.
05. 10. 2013 14:02 CET 13 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It was ok, I lost a little bit time, some corners were a little bit dirty. Maybe in the last down hill I lost a little bit time. I am happy at the moment.
05. 10. 2013 14:01 CET 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): On the last one it was more difficult. On this one I had a good rhythm.
06. 10. 2013 13:55 CET 12 retired (105 - Suárez José António / Carrera Cándido): retired in SS 12
06. 10. 2013 13:03 CET 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 13:12 CET 12 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): For us it was quite ok.
05. 10. 2013 13:11 CET 12 flash info (22 - Dumas Romain / Giraudet Denis): It was a little bit better, for sure it is a little bit more wet.
05. 10. 2013 13:10 CET 12 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): Trying to push as much as possible and try some change on the setup. A lot of understeer, so trying to fix the set-up of the car. Still on the fast fast corners it is difficult to find the limit.
05. 10. 2013 13:09 CET 12 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): We had some rain towards the end, some places completely dry tarmac and other places completely wet and some mud in places. I feel more and more comfortable. Not the best time in the world but it is feeling a lot better for me.
05. 10. 2013 13:08 CET 12 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): There is quite a lot of mud in places and all the black top areas are still really slippy.
05. 10. 2013 13:07 CET 12 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): No real problems, in one hairpin left went a little bit wide, other than that no problems. I brake way too early in many places but it comes with confidence.
05. 10. 2013 13:06 CET 12 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): It was quite tricky, there was some water on some part, but everything is fine.
05. 10. 2013 13:05 CET 12 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Quite tricky one, quite a bit of mud. Of course I push, we have to carry on. Really nice fight, before the start I thought there was five guys able to fight for the victory.
05. 10. 2013 13:04 CET 12 flash info (1 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): It was ok, drying a little. I was understeering, I do not know why.
05. 10. 2013 13:02 CET 12 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): A little bit dirty and i went a little bit off, but it was not important. Ogier is pushing really really hard, so we need to push.
05. 10. 2013 13:01 CET 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I took it steady, I have no more spare wheels, I cannot puncture now.
05. 10. 2013 12:11 CET 11 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): Different but I improve on the second pass of the stage. Much more slippy in the morning. Now the setup of the car is perfect.
05. 10. 2013 12:10 CET 11 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Some places the grip is amazing, it is dry, other places it is covered in mud and completely wet. Quite a good stage for me.
05. 10. 2013 12:09 CET 11 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It is alright, we are not the last one there so we are getting better. In the start of the stage it was heavy rain and then after that the sun was shining and every third corner was dry.
05. 10. 2013 12:08 CET 11 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): A bit better, feeling more confident with the car, it is really slippy with the gravel out there. The road conditions were partly dry and quite wet under the forest.
05. 10. 2013 12:07 CET 11 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): I have dented rim. I do not know, maybe it was some cut or some where, nothing special.
05. 10. 2013 12:06 CET 11 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It is more possible to challenge for the lead), we have to carry on like that, we had a good stage. We push hard and take risks.
05. 10. 2013 12:05 CET 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 12:04 CET 11 flash info (1 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): I try to push in this one, it is difficult, we are heating a lot the tyre, with the soft tyre. I think we did a good stage on this one.
05. 10. 2013 12:03 CET 11 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It was really nice fight. Everything can happen, the car move a lot here at the end of the stage.
05. 10. 2013 12:02 CET 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): In a junction, very fast right, I slide very slightly and I hit something, maybe a small stone, the tyre came off the rim, I lost the air and then it was finished.
05. 10. 2013 12:01 CET 11 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): puncture

05. 10. 2013 11:11 CET 10 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): All ok for us, not a lot of water.
05. 10. 2013 11:10 CET 10 flash info (22 - Dumas Romain / Giraudet Denis): I had a good run, I was a little too slow when it was foggy. It was good stage for me.
05. 10. 2013 11:09 CET 10 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): I have a lot of understeer again on this stage. Massive, massive understeer, I had to pull the handbrake as I was going straight.
05. 10. 2013 11:08 CET 10 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It is quite tricky and I have not had a good rhythm at all. I will try.
05. 10. 2013 11:07 CET 10 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): Downhill, understeering is just worse and worse. I cannot get the car turning and I lose confidence.
05. 10. 2013 11:06 CET 10 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): It was raining before. We are trying to push, the times are not there. I know when I am pushing, I know what the times should be and it is strange.
05. 10. 2013 11:05 CET 10 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Neuville is still quite in front, we have to carry on. I am quite happy with the morning.
05. 10. 2013 11:04 CET 10 flash info (1 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): It was much better than in the morning. This one for the first time, I have no problem for the first time of the morning, no mistakes.
05. 10. 2013 11:03 CET 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 11:02 CET 10 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It was ok, I am happy. Today in the morning it was a little bit damp in the first stage. In the second stage the downhill really slippy.
05. 10. 2013 11:01 CET 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Going quite quick, a small moment in this one, quite lucky to get out there. It was much more slippy than I expect, quite lucky to get out there.

05. 10. 2013 10:12 CET 9 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): Ok, but very fast in some places. Tarmac changes, very difficult.
05. 10. 2013 10:11 CET 9 flash info (22 - Dumas Romain / Giraudet Denis): It was ok but I spun in a hairpin.
05. 10. 2013 10:10 CET 9 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): Wet road. I can see I am far from the limit, but still I do not see the limit of the tyres. I have not test on wet roads, so it is in the race that I have to find the limit.
05. 10. 2013 10:09 CET 9 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Very difficult, I do not have a good feeling or confidence. The car feels ok, I just do not have a good feeling.
05. 10. 2013 10:08 CET 9 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Some sections on the downhill were unbelievable, a lot of shiny tarmac. Suddenly one section was so so slippery. It was oky, we were taking it quite steady so you can manage those kind of things.
05. 10. 2013 10:07 CET 9 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): We went straight on in a junction, so slippery. But we managed, it was not easy.
05. 10. 2013 10:06 CET 9 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): I try to push on this stage and I think the time is not so bad. I guess it is not possible for me to fight with the leaders.
05. 10. 2013 10:05 CET 9 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Another good stage for me, I try to push.
05. 10. 2013 10:04 CET 9 flash info (1 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): I spin in a little hairpin so I had to reverse 2 times, I lost maybe ten seconds. It was ok, better than the first stage.
05. 10. 2013 10:03 CET 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 10:02 CET 9 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It was ok, but few last kilometres on the stage during downhill was very tricky, slippy and maybe we lost some time there.
05. 10. 2013 10:01 CET 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Very dangerous stage, very fast, everywhere black tarmac, like driving on ice. A couple of times no control at all.

05. 10. 2013 09:51 CET 8 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): We are just driving safely. I have to drive my rally and that is it. The conditions were pretty nice for wet, no drama, no standing water, better than expected.
05. 10. 2013 09:50 CET 8 flash info (22 - Dumas Romain / Giraudet Denis): It was very difficult, it was foggy, I was not trusting the grip so a lot of times I was too slow. I did not drive good.
05. 10. 2013 09:49 CET 8 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): It was quite ok, I expect much more difficult conditions and the traction was very good, I was surprised how it was. I try to improve a bit as in these slippy conditions I do not have much experience.
05. 10. 2013 09:48 CET 8 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): All the poles have been taken away, very strange. I dont think the spectators have done it. All of them are gone and a lot of cutting. I entered every corner thinking they were there and they werent.
05. 10. 2013 09:47 CET 8 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was ok, so many corners are different from the recce, it is really annoying, I dont like this. We try to do something.
05. 10. 2013 09:46 CET 8 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): For sure it is quite dirty, struggle to find confidence in these conditions, a lot of understeer.
05. 10. 2013 09:45 CET 8 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): Nothing, I was just very careful on this first stage on the wet. Just very careful, later I will push a bit more, but to start I was careful.
05. 10. 2013 09:44 CET 8 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We have to push, we have to take risk. There was some fog on the top, it was not easy. Thierry is going to be hard to catch, at least we will fight to get a place on the podium.
05. 10. 2013 09:43 CET 8 flash info (1 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): Nothing happen really, I have a lot of oversteer in the fast section, I cannot trust the car in the fast parts.
05. 10. 2013 09:42 CET 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.
05. 10. 2013 09:41 CET 8 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): We spun, you can see the road very bad. I lost time there, all the time I lost in this place. It will be difficult, Neuville is pushing really hard. It will be difficult to catch him.
05. 10. 2013 09:40 CET 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): More cuts than I expect, they changed it since the recce, maybe spectators or the organisation. We had to change a bit the pacenotes.

04. 10. 2013 16:47 CET 7 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): We changed braking technic during stage and it seems to be better.
04. 10. 2013 16:44 CET 7 flash info (1 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): We stayed out of the rain and no rain. We had soft tyre, long stages, very difficult.
04. 10. 2013 16:42 CET 7 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): I completely lost the brake pedal. I think I had too much brakes on the rear, from about half way the brakes were not working .
04. 10. 2013 16:40 CET 7 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I expected to lose a bit more time, but ok.
04. 10. 2013 16:38 CET 7 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It has not been good day. Wrong tyre choice. We were expecting rain in this afternoon...
04. 10. 2013 16:37 CET 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 16:35 CET 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We had the best information today from our weather guy and the best tyre choice. I push hard.

04. 10. 2013 15:34 CET 6 flash info (1 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): The tyre choice is more for the last stage. We expected some rain in the last one...
04. 10. 2013 15:32 CET 6 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Last section hairpin right into narrow road, from thereon in. It is almost completely damp. Ok, happy with my driving.
04. 10. 2013 15:31 CET 6 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I think it would be better to have all soft tyres for this stage. Nice time.
04. 10. 2013 15:28 CET 6 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was very slippy, I can always improve.
04. 10. 2013 15:23 CET 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 15:21 CET 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I'm just pushing, we have good tyres.
04. 10. 2013 15:05 CET 6 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I start to feel little bit better in the car.

04. 10. 2013 15:03 CET 5 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): We are unlucky with the weather, we have soft tyres and the stage was completely dry.
04. 10. 2013 15:01 CET 5 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): It was OK, everything is fine. Quite good stage time.
04. 10. 2013 15:00 CET 5 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): It was OK, damp sometimes, next stage will be more importnant.
04. 10. 2013 14:57 CET 5 flash info (1 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): With soft tyres on the rear we couldn't do it better. The stage was almost complete dry.
04. 10. 2013 14:55 CET 5 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Not so bad, but it was slippery in some of the junctions, some places were wet and there was also lot of gravel. It's getting better and better.
04. 10. 2013 14:53 CET 5 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): We have good tyres, I'm happy.
04. 10. 2013 14:52 CET 5 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): I'm really happy with my pace now, but it looks like Neuville did incredible time.
04. 10. 2013 14:49 CET 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 14:48 CET 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Flatout everywhere. I hope it's enough. We did good tyre choice.

04. 10. 2013 11:50 CET 4 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): It is ok. We had a moment in a right hand corner, but ok.
04. 10. 2013 11:48 CET 4 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): Not so bad about our tyres and conditions. I did not expect rain on the previous stage and it was difficult.
04. 10. 2013 11:45 CET 4 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): It was not well. I had big moments in the beginning of the stages and then I lost confidence.
04. 10. 2013 11:36 CET 4 flash info (1 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): Damp in some places, it was really tricky. For sure if it is raining, there will be a lot of places where you have mud.
04. 10. 2013 11:34 CET 4 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): Very difficult. The road is very, very slippery.
04. 10. 2013 11:33 CET 4 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was difficult. I had to reverse and start again at one moment. The problem is there is no grip at all.
04. 10. 2013 11:31 CET 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 11:30 CET 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Good stage. I did not push too much. I know that I have good tyre choice.
04. 10. 2013 11:29 CET 4 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I did want to push when I did not feel it.
04. 10. 2013 12:15 CET 3 flash info (75 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): I’m not 100 per cent sure what happened. We were lucky not to puncture when we clipped a concrete block coming out of a hairpin, but shortly after the car started pulling to one side. The tyre had come off the rim so we stopped to change it to prevent further damage.

04. 10. 2013 10:28 CET 3 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): The wipers are on and we have the hard tyres. Disaster. We try to push,...
04. 10. 2013 10:26 CET 3 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): It was difficult. It is the weather. I have to fight for what I have.
04. 10. 2013 10:25 CET 3 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): It start to rain, so the hard tyres were really difficult, lots of understeer. Not easy stage. I had to use the wipers from the beginning.
04. 10. 2013 10:24 CET 3 flash info (1 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): At the moment it is going well. I was not so confident when we started the day. The next one will be muddy for me...

03. 10. 2013 19:03 CET 1 flash info (1 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): It was a great feeling when I won the first title. It is ok, I was prepared, I just do a few rallies, I have other plans. I knew that when I decided not to do the full championship, I would not be champion.
03. 10. 2013 18:54 CET 1 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We manage to do this stage, so happy.
03. 10. 2013 18:47 CET 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We know it before that we could not win the championship, so for us no changes. Everybody will push hard, we want to secure the second place in the Championship.
03. 10. 2013 18:47 CET 1 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It is really important rally for us, we did a good race in Germany and we have to do well here.
03. 10. 2013 18:43 CET 1 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): Feeling was good. Tyres were going quite off, especially on the last lap. We try to be not too far behind the top boys, we see how we go on.
03. 10. 2013 18:39 CET 1 flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I want to repeat win in Germany, for me this rally is even more important than Germany… From the test and from today, it was brilliant, I have a special feeling with the car, I feel really good.
03. 10. 2013 18:37 CET 1 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): I am looking to finish in top five, but first to finish, to do some good stage times. I prefer dry or wet, not these mixed conditions.
03. 10. 2013 18:25 CET 1 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): We have enjoyed the speed and I have found some good speed. This rally was never my favourite, the stages are very fast and raining, we will see.
03. 10. 2013 18:24 CET 1 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It was a cautious start, this stage is quite tricky. It has been a little difficult over the last rallies and the confidence is really bad, just a difficult season, making it difficult for me to know what to do.
03. 10. 2013 18:23 CET 1 flash info (122 - Kostka Tomáš / Patterson Chris): I had to reverse in one corner.
03. 10. 2013 18:22 CET 1 flash info (22 - Dumas Romain / Giraudet Denis): Have fun, I enjoy it. We get the car Monday evening, for sure we are not so use… We have to find our rhthymn. We try to finish the weekend without any damage.
03. 10. 2013 18:21 CET 1 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): It was nice tricky stage, it was very easy to get it wrong, we just drove kurt pace. I think it is good opportunity for the fans to get closer to rally, it is great for the spectators. My tarmac is clean and here we have a lot of cuts. All rallies are new for us so we have to take care.
03. 10. 2013 18:20 CET 1 flash info (75 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It was clean run for us, no drama but it is stage that could catch you out. Who knows what the weather has in store.
