INFORMATION ABOUT SS 1
retired (45 - Szczepaniak Maciej / Ptaszek Hubert): technical problem - transmission after SS 1
flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): Not a nice comeback because the weather conditions are so tricky. I'm looking forward to better weather and better stages tomorrow.
flash info (14 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris): In these conditions and on these tyres it's not easy. We took it carefully.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): A good time but it's tough to start the rally in these conditions. The grip was a bit lower that I expected but still I enjoyed it. I knew it would be hard to match the times of the guys who ran earlier.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): Difficult, we were aquaplaning in places. A bit on the safe side but I'm happy with the run.
flash info (3 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): That was hell. It's raining very heavily and getting worse and worse. I aquaplaned near the start but managed to do a clean stage. I couldn't do much more in these conditions.
flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): The rain seems to be getting harder. Not easy conditions. Tried to keep it clean, taking it slowly in places, overall a good way to start the rally.
flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I thought the driving was ok but the time is bad. I don't understand it. Something is really wrong and I don't know what.
flash info (4 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): It was very slippery and you can make mistakes everywhere. I tried to be clean.
flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): Quite ok but I couldn't keep the engine running properly. It was dying in the hairpins and I had to use the clutch a bit. Despite that we managed quite a good stage. Tomorrow will be ok - the stages are faster.
flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): The conditions here mean this one was just about getting through. I was very cautious. I know it's possible to lose a rally on a stage like this, so I'm happy to throw away a few seconds here.
flash info (12 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): A tricky stage but we have to check something now - the rear diff feels strange.
flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Tricky. I had three soft tyres and one hard on - so it was tricky in places.
flash info (6 - Camilli Eric / Veillas Benjamin): Not so bad but I don't like Super Specials. This was nothing special. The most important thing was not to make a mistake. I drove it almost like a road section at the end - it will be different tomorrow.
flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): It was worse than I thought actually. Very slippery on the white lines. Tricky. We took it cautiously.
Crews will start with four minute intervals.
Weather in Salou is rainy, temperature around 19, wet road.
