24 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's been an incredible season, so close! Up, down. Not long ago we thought it would be impossible, thanks to the team for the great efforts! We've achieved something special in these last two years.

18. 11. 2018 19:51
18. 11. 2018 09:51 CET
24 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): This podium feels proper! The couple we've had in the last year we've taken from other people's problems. Every year we've improved in Australia so if we're here next year then really we should take victory!
18. 11. 2018 19:50
18. 11. 2018 09:50 CET
24 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It was an incridble weekend, so many ups and so many downs. Probably more downs, but we had an amazing day today. It is tough after such a long break to get back in the car. Well I'm third-fastest in the world on this rally, so shame on them if I don't get a drive next year!
18. 11. 2018 19:47
18. 11. 2018 09:47 CET
24 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): For sure I'll miss the Yaris, I will. But I'm looking forward to new challenges. I'm thankful for the team and their support, they've got such a big passion for rally. Hopefully Jari will come through and we'll win the manufacturers' title, that's what everyone deserves.
18. 11. 2018 19:47
18. 11. 2018 09:47 CET
24 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It is difficult because the season was so intense and just happening in between two stages - getting the message on the road section. I'm so proud of my team, you are the best! We had such an amazing time together. I just had a final push in this car! I can't wait to see the team again.
18. 11. 2018 19:46
18. 11. 2018 09:46 CET
24 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It's been a difficult thing, many times I've had to accept and put up with it but I'm glad he's won the crown. He's done a great job and I'm happy for the whole team, they've all worked really hard. Hopefully more to come.
18. 11. 2018 19:44
18. 11. 2018 09:44 CET
24 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): It's been really, really tough. I love this thing so much, but I've been through hell and back to get here. Just need a few things to go the right way again.

18. 11. 2018 09:43 CET
24 flash info (21 - Serderidis Jourdan / Vanneste Lara): Top 10, it is more than a dream for me! It is fantastic. It has been a difficult week for me, but we've achieved a great result and I'm very happy.
18. 11. 2018 19:42
18. 11. 2018 09:42 CET
24 flash info (74 - Glenney Steve / Sarandis Andy): It has been a crazy weekend, all dramas for the Australian title contenders. It is a dream come true to be in the mix with the WRC competitors, we've been tweaking the set-up all weekend - the car's been a dream.
18. 11. 2018 19:41
18. 11. 2018 09:41 CET
24 flash info (71 - Evans Eli / Searcy Ben): That was really strange and bizarre year in the Australian championship, it was really hard fought between three crews. I tried everything to throw it away but I got through to the end!
18. 11. 2018 19:40
18. 11. 2018 09:40 CET
24 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I'm sure we could have had a good result in this rally. It would have been nice to change things around this weekend but I guess we'll have to wait until Monte Carlo. I'm sure we'll start there in good spirits and come back strong.
19. 11. 2018 06:09
18. 11. 2018 20:09 CET
23 retired (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): technical problem - alternator after SS 23

23 retired (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): accident in SS 23
18. 11. 2018 19:39
18. 11. 2018 09:39 CET
23 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was increduble, so demanding, so nasty places, had to be really, really patient. I heard Ott has stopped, I'm very sorry for him. Very tricky conditions.
18. 11. 2018 19:38
18. 11. 2018 09:38 CET
23 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): When we got 20 seconds behind we just have to make no mistakes, on some of the creeks we were so slow we could have walked faster. It's not over until the fat lady sings!
18. 11. 2018 19:37
18. 11. 2018 09:37 CET
23 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I was caught out on some mud - like everyone! I went off the road and into a tree. To be honest I though like that was it, but after that I pushed to the absolute limit.
18. 11. 2018 19:37
18. 11. 2018 09:37 CET
23 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): off the road
18. 11. 2018 19:36
18. 11. 2018 09:36 CET
23 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It felt horrible, you cannot enjoy it. Even if I needed to push you can't enjoy it. Safely through.
18. 11. 2018 19:34
18. 11. 2018 09:34 CET
23 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It is incredible, it is hard to keep the car on the road even driving so slow. I am just trying to go through and it so difficult, it is crazy.
18. 11. 2018 19:33
18. 11. 2018 09:33 CET
23 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): We just nipped wide and slide a little bit and the door popped open. Just a small impact and then couldn't reverse because the door was stuck against the tree.
18. 11. 2018 19:32
18. 11. 2018 09:32 CET
23 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): Still muddy but it was okay. Careful with the driving, just once I needed to reverse.
18. 11. 2018 19:31
18. 11. 2018 09:31 CET
23 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Just finding all the tricky bits, I was completely stopped and on a left-hander on pure ice I got stuck on a tree and stopped for almost 30 or 40 seconds.
18. 11. 2018 19:30
18. 11. 2018 09:30 CET
22 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Of course I want to win, but I don't think it is the position to push for it as we can see what has been happening.
18. 11. 2018 19:29
18. 11. 2018 09:29 CET
22 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was a good stage for us. The first 3km was very slippery. It started to get better but there were some corners that were slippy.
18. 11. 2018 19:29
18. 11. 2018 09:29 CET
22 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): We heard Thierry was out. Obviously not the best way to finish the year for Thierry but we've still got our job to do for the rest of the day.
18. 11. 2018 19:28
18. 11. 2018 09:28 CET
22 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): We have two difficult stages to go still, nothing is missed and nothing is done yet. The conditions are tricky.
18. 11. 2018 19:27
18. 11. 2018 09:27 CET
22 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I was so slow on the first pass that I could mark all the slippery places and now it is okay when you know where it is slippery!
18. 11. 2018 19:27
18. 11. 2018 09:27 CET
22 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I haven't seen him actually, but I hadn't started the stage when I heard he was off. I was driving the stage like my granny would do!
18. 11. 2018 19:26
18. 11. 2018 09:26 CET
22 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Very difficult conditions, it wasn't as bad towards the end but still some random corners with zero grip. When I saw Thierry stopped I just backed off completely to be honest.
18. 11. 2018 19:25
18. 11. 2018 09:25 CET
22 retired (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): accident in SS 22

21 retired (32 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): retired after SS 21
18. 11. 2018 09:42
17. 11. 2018 23:42 CET
21 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I don't think we will fight, we need to keep Paddon behind.
18. 11. 2018 09:41
17. 11. 2018 23:41 CET
21 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): I think on speed alone we can't quite get them but we'll keep pushing.
18. 11. 2018 09:40
17. 11. 2018 23:40 CET
21 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): On the slippery, we changed the car to suit those conditions, the car is really sensitive and small changes make a big difference. In the dry this car is really difficult to drive with the set-up.
18. 11. 2018 09:39
17. 11. 2018 23:39 CET
21 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Conditions were dry but the first two were not so nice conditions-wise.
18. 11. 2018 09:39
17. 11. 2018 23:39 CET
21 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): At the moment I don't need bonus points, I'm just trying to finish the rally.
18. 11. 2018 09:37
17. 11. 2018 23:37 CET
21 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): I'm not convinced it is that critical (position between Ogier and Neuville), if Ogier stays ahead it is enough. It is clean job.
18. 11. 2018 09:36
17. 11. 2018 23:36 CET
21 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I have nothing to lose so I don't care so much. Just trying to have fun and see what's going on.
18. 11. 2018 09:35
17. 11. 2018 23:35 CET
21 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): The conditions were much easier and the grip was much more consistent.
18. 11. 2018 09:32
17. 11. 2018 23:32 CET
21 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Something inside on the grass, I wasn't off line so it must have been something hidden. I don't know what I have to do any more.
19. 11. 2018 05:45
18. 11. 2018 19:45 CET
20 retired (31 - Heller Pedro / Olmos Pablo): retired in SS 20
18. 11. 2018 08:22
17. 11. 2018 22:22 CET
20 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I was stuck in reverse gear for a bit, what can I say? The plan is to stay ahead of Paddon, for sure it is not easy.
18. 11. 2018 08:19
17. 11. 2018 22:19 CET
20 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): For sure it has been a difficult morning I must say. You have to read the road all the time. I don't know what we'll do with Ott because Paddon is not so far off, the situation is changing a little bit.
18. 11. 2018 08:16
17. 11. 2018 22:16 CET
20 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): off the road
18. 11. 2018 08:16
17. 11. 2018 22:16 CET
20 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): We're just trying to pick a good speed, we're just keeping the pressure on the front but then also keeping the gap behind. I made a little reminder to Jari what happened last year - it's not over til it's over!
18. 11. 2018 08:13
17. 11. 2018 22:13 CET
20 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): That's good, I learned a bit from the first stage about the bogginess. I tried to keep it calm and just have a clean run through the stage.
18. 11. 2018 08:10
17. 11. 2018 22:10 CET
20 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): You keep saying it is a good battle! But on the previous stage I said this is not the game! Normally it would be but not today, it is all about keeping Seb behind.
18. 11. 2018 08:07
17. 11. 2018 22:07 CET
20 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): So difficult, at least the last kilometre is dry now but it is super slippery in there. Not a relaxing Sunday for sure!
18. 11. 2018 08:04
17. 11. 2018 22:04 CET
20 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It was okay, very tricky conditions to be honest. Some places the grip is reasonable and then in other places you just take off. Guessing it off the colour but the guess work isn't always right!
18. 11. 2018 08:01
17. 11. 2018 22:01 CET
20 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Not feeling that, just on a very tight corner I went in straight and followed the lines of everybody else, had to reverse back out.
18. 11. 2018 07:58
17. 11. 2018 21:58 CET
20 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It is difficult, especially when the grip is changing a lot. First time for me seeing these conditions and to be honest that was one of the hardest conditions.
18. 11. 2018 07:56
17. 11. 2018 21:56 CET
20 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): You're right to have a go at me this time! Two spins in places where I thought I'd braked enough. I think there'll be a bit of trouble in this one.
18. 11. 2018 07:55
17. 11. 2018 21:55 CET
20 (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): spun
18. 11. 2018 07:51

18. 11. 2018 07:36
17. 11. 2018 21:36 CET
19 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Stage was slippy for sure, we lost all the power in the car at one point. Luckily it started again.
18. 11. 2018 07:34
17. 11. 2018 21:34 CET
19 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I thought that Hayden is going to attack very hard so of course I had to do something because I didn't know his speed.
18. 11. 2018 07:32
17. 11. 2018 21:32 CET
19 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Really difficult to find the rhythm, some places the grip is nice and sometimes there is no grip at all. As long as we can keep the pressure on anything can happen.
18. 11. 2018 07:28
17. 11. 2018 21:28 CET
19 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It was a tricky stage, I was not so happy. It was very boggy in there, not a lot you can do with the bogginess.
18. 11. 2018 07:25
17. 11. 2018 21:25 CET
19 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): We just need to finish and that's it, anything can happen in these conditions. I will be the back up and not push too hard. All about the team today for sure.
18. 11. 2018 07:22
17. 11. 2018 21:22 CET
19 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): In the dry conditions it is challenging, but when it is wet it is worse because it is difficult to judge the grip.
18. 11. 2018 07:19
17. 11. 2018 21:19 CET
19 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Thierry has gone in there to take a few big risks, it was an okay run but it looks like he is pushing.
18. 11. 2018 07:16
17. 11. 2018 21:16 CET
19 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I tried, very tricky. Some parts are maybe getting more dry and some more slippy. Some risks yes.
18. 11. 2018 07:16
17. 11. 2018 21:16 CET
19 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Some really slippy stuff on the red sections in places, but the grip is generally okay.
18. 11. 2018 07:15
17. 11. 2018 21:15 CET
19 flash info (21 - Serderidis Jourdan / Vanneste Lara): On braking it is a nightmare, also there are some parts in the middle that are very tricky, I think if you go faster than me you go out and I was very, very slow through there.
17. 11. 2018 17:54
17. 11. 2018 07:54 CET
15 retired (32 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): retired after SS 15
17. 11. 2018 17:53
17. 11. 2018 07:53 CET
15 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Having had that bang the first time I played it cautious this time through.
17. 11. 2018 17:53
17. 11. 2018 07:53 CET
15 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I had no tyres left, it was really difficult just had to drive with a very straight car. Difficult stage to drive with no tyres.
17. 11. 2018 17:52
17. 11. 2018 07:52 CET
15 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): The balance was not so nice, it was about surviving. Changing the balance but it is not so nice still. The conditions are so tricky, I can't even understand what I just went through. I don't know what to say.
17. 11. 2018 17:52
17. 11. 2018 07:52 CET
15 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I should have taken two spares, I did a mistake by only taking one. My tyres are starting to go off now.
17. 11. 2018 17:52
17. 11. 2018 07:52 CET
15 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Difficult, we had bald tyres on the front and good tyres on the rear. If Mads' tyres are quite bad we could be through, we made a tyre choice for the whole loop so we should get an advantage for longer.
17. 11. 2018 17:51
17. 11. 2018 07:51 CET
15 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was okay. Our tyres were a bit worn from the previous one so didn't push too hard on this one. Clean stage, nothing special.
17. 11. 2018 17:51
17. 11. 2018 07:51 CET
15 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): When you back off you lose the rhythm so I just went for it on this one.
17. 11. 2018 17:50
17. 11. 2018 07:50 CET
15 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): All okay at the moment, all under control. We have to carry on.
17. 11. 2018 17:50
17. 11. 2018 07:50 CET
15 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I was struggling in the end. At the end we had good grip, but the line was quite narrow so it was difficult to go fast.
17. 11. 2018 17:49
17. 11. 2018 07:49 CET
15 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It's all okay. Very, very difficult actually, quite deep sand and the grip was quite low. In here, I didn't suffer with the understeer and oversteer as much.
17. 11. 2018 17:46
17. 11. 2018 07:46 CET
15 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I don't think so, from being a car ahead of him I don't think it is possible. It is much hotter than expected so I couldn't use my soft tyre.

14 retired (61 - Brazzoli Enrico / Beltrame Luca): retired in SS 14

17. 11. 2018 17:44
17. 11. 2018 07:44 CET
14 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Felt nice, struggled a bit with the rear - spun in a really narrow place and had to go back up the road to turn it around, probably lost 10/15 seconds.
17. 11. 2018 17:43
17. 11. 2018 07:43 CET
14 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): It is not too bad, just trying to get into the rhythm. We're not fighting for anything so we don't take that last bit of risk. But I must say, Ott's time is very fast, I don't think I could compete with that.
17. 11. 2018 17:43
17. 11. 2018 07:43 CET
14 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): Not at the moment, I'm trying to drive to the limit but it is just not faster at the moment. I'm just lacking balance to the car, it is very nervous and difficult to control.
17. 11. 2018 17:42
17. 11. 2018 07:42 CET
14 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): We're prepared to drop a little bit on this stage so we've got some good tyres for the next one. Definitely overheated the tyres a little bit on this one.
17. 11. 2018 17:41

14 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I do my best. I do everything I can. It is not easy conditions but at least it is consistent. Fun, but at the same time going my best. Manufacturers' title is the priority so definitely we need to secure this one.
17. 11. 2018 17:41
17. 11. 2018 07:41 CET
14 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It is just a bit boring at the moment, I though I could gain a few seconds here and there to Hayden but he was too fast on the last one. The gaps are quite big in front and behind me, it is hard to concentrate.
17. 11. 2018 17:40
17. 11. 2018 07:40 CET
14 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The second loop is easier I would say, in the morning it is a bit tricky. I almost had a stall at the start but then I had a clean run.
17. 11. 2018 17:40
17. 11. 2018 07:40 CET
14 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I would like to be faster, but Thierry is fast. It is slippery in places but it has been okay.
17. 11. 2018 17:39
17. 11. 2018 07:39 CET
14 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Before we were just concentrating on driving. On this test, I don't know why but I didn't have the feeling I've had all day I think something small might have broken in the back - I'm getting understeer on entry and oversteer on exit.
17. 11. 2018 17:38
17. 11. 2018 07:38 CET
14 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I can only try to catch the two cars in front of me and see what happens.

13 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Hats off to the boys and girls, they got the car fixed. I tried to enjoy it the best I could, let's see how the next one goes.
17. 11. 2018 17:36
17. 11. 2018 07:36 CET
13 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): It is good fun, really nice stages. We tried to push a bit more than this morning and we had a clean run. All fine.
17. 11. 2018 17:32
17. 11. 2018 07:32 CET
13 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It is an intense fight for sure. To be honest it is all about confidence and trying to find a good feeling with the car on the surface. It is tricky just to make everything perfect.
17. 11. 2018 17:31
17. 11. 2018 07:31 CET
13 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I don't like having two spares in the car, it isn't good for driveability. It is a good fight going on because Paddon is not letting us have it easily.
17. 11. 2018 17:31
17. 11. 2018 07:31 CET
13 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): I love this stage, and the next one, it is amazing to drive - I could drive like this 365 days of the year. Most fun I've had in a rally car this year!
17. 11. 2018 17:30
17. 11. 2018 07:30 CET
13 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I am focusing on my drive, focusing on the rally. This stage is really loose and cleaning a lot so we know we are not in the greatest position.
17. 11. 2018 17:29
17. 11. 2018 07:29 CET
13 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The feeling is still good in the car, nothing to complain to be honest. Felt like I was not pushing at all, but all the time I was on the clean lines. At the moment I am fastest but the guys behind are going quick I tell you.
17. 11. 2018 17:28
17. 11. 2018 07:28 CET
13 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Right now I am in a position where I have enough points so I don't want to take any extra risk.
17. 11. 2018 17:28
17. 11. 2018 07:28 CET
13 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It was a bit better than the morning loop but still not the best rhythm with the driving.
17. 11. 2018 17:27
17. 11. 2018 07:27 CET
13 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Surprisingly so, so loose in here. Couldn't believe how loose it was now for the second pass.
17. 11. 2018 17:27
17. 11. 2018 07:27 CET
13 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We are driving flat out, i pushed really hard on this one but it is impossible - the road conditions are a disaster. I will never give up though.

17. 11. 2018 09:47
16. 11. 2018 23:47 CET
11 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): Just hard to match the Toyotas. Car is faster on the stage, seems like all three Toyotas are going well in there. Much lower grip. I have some new tyres, that might help this afternoon.
17. 11. 2018 09:43
16. 11. 2018 23:43 CET
11 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): He's been driving fast, on the team side they told me to focus on the driving and the team and not focus on Ott.
17. 11. 2018 09:42
16. 11. 2018 23:42 CET
11 (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): working on a broken rear arm on the road section
17. 11. 2018 09:41
16. 11. 2018 23:41 CET
11 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): I had a dead rear-left tyre from the start and I just tried to manage it.

16. 11. 2018 23:41 CET
11 (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): full spin and damages a wheel
17. 11. 2018 09:37
16. 11. 2018 23:37 CET
11 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): It's not over yet! This stage is my achillies heel, it always has been. Probably too smooth in places so we can improve a lot. We've only one bad stage on the rally so that's not too bad.
17. 11. 2018 09:35
16. 11. 2018 23:35 CET
11 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The championship is definitely not in our hands so there is no point thinking about that, but we are doing all we can. Another clean stage, let's see what happens.
17. 11. 2018 09:34
16. 11. 2018 23:34 CET
11 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It was not a good stage from me, I did a lot of mistakes, bad lines. Ott should be much, much faster.
17. 11. 2018 09:34
16. 11. 2018 23:34 CET
11 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The loop is finished, so even if Thierry can't fix his problems he can just go to service. We are quite far from any fights so we just try to drive through.
17. 11. 2018 09:33
16. 11. 2018 23:33 CET
11 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): Still struggling with the rhythm on the loose gravel and tough to find the braking points. Second loop should be better.
17. 11. 2018 09:33
16. 11. 2018 23:33 CET
11 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Not so loose as before the road surface, but it is a completely different type of stage so we don't know how it will evolve.
17. 11. 2018 09:32
16. 11. 2018 23:32 CET
11 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Something is broken, but the car is still able to drive.

17. 11. 2018 08:46
16. 11. 2018 22:46 CET
10 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): We enjoy the stages, obviously missing that last bit of attack and taking those risks because we're not fighting for victory.
17. 11. 2018 08:45
16. 11. 2018 22:45 CET
10 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): Now I'm not happy with my tyre choice, with what we know it was not an easy choice for sure. The car is working well but when you have a mix of tyres and two of them are not working it makes it difficult for sure.
17. 11. 2018 08:45
16. 11. 2018 22:45 CET
10 (31 - Heller Pedro / Olmos Pablo): stopped
17. 11. 2018 08:44
16. 11. 2018 22:44 CET
10 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It is very exciting. It seems that Mr Tänak has had a good push and we are still good over Paddon.
17. 11. 2018 08:34
16. 11. 2018 22:34 CET
10 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): The throttle was sticking open, every time I pressed the brake it was nosing the car on. Really, really horrible I don't know what the hell it is. Try and get it fixed before the next one.
17. 11. 2018 08:31
16. 11. 2018 22:31 CET
10 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): I've got the softs on the rear and I was probably too aggresive because in the last 5/6km the rear was moving around.
17. 11. 2018 08:29
16. 11. 2018 22:29 CET
10 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I try my best. It is really warm and I guess the soft was maybe not optimal. This will be the key stage of the loop. Still enough stages left for the rally win.
17. 11. 2018 08:25
16. 11. 2018 22:25 CET
10 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): This is getting much cleaner all the time. After each car the conditions are improving so it is tough to gain time to the cars starting behind me.
17. 11. 2018 08:25
16. 11. 2018 22:25 CET
10 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was better. But it is obviously very, very loose today and it is going to be hard to catch some positions to be honest. But the main goal is to stay ahead of Thierry.
17. 11. 2018 08:20
16. 11. 2018 22:20 CET
10 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): The conditions have changed a lot from yesterday and now I'm struggling for grip and trying to find the braking points on the loose gravel.
17. 11. 2018 08:17
16. 11. 2018 22:17 CET
10 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It is tricky out there for sure. Some places are very difficult - I could feel myself going deep in some places.
17. 11. 2018 08:16
16. 11. 2018 22:16 CET
10 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Nothing we can do. It is very frustrating but it is like this. No line at all. Nothing I can do.

9 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): Try to enjoy today as much as I can. Not much to drive for, but the stages are beautiful, it is always a pleasure to drive them.
17. 11. 2018 07:53
16. 11. 2018 21:53 CET
9 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It was a pretty good stage for us, a few places we went a little bit wide. Hayden was attacking and it will be interesting to see what Mads is doing.
17. 11. 2018 07:48
16. 11. 2018 21:48 CET
9 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was a pretty good stage for us, a few places we went a little bit wide. Hayden was attacking and it will be interesting to see what Mads is doing.
17. 11. 2018 07:47
16. 11. 2018 21:47 CET
9 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Not pushing too hard and didn't have the best rhythm, hopefully we'll resolve that on the next stage.
17. 11. 2018 07:47
16. 11. 2018 21:47 CET
9 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Really starting to get into the groove. These stages are great to drive on. Some places I'm still a little under-committed so I need to fix those bits.
17. 11. 2018 07:47
16. 11. 2018 21:47 CET
9 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I did a good stage, but right in the beginning I had a lot of deer on the road.
17. 11. 2018 07:46
16. 11. 2018 21:46 CET
9 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It is cleaning a lot, I just kept it on the line. You cannot push, you just need to follow the line.
17. 11. 2018 07:46
16. 11. 2018 21:46 CET
9 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We have not the same level of attack as yesterday, I was hesitating a bit too much there - I'll look for a better rhythm on the next one.
17. 11. 2018 07:45
16. 11. 2018 21:45 CET
9 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I was driving a bit too carefully, but it keeps the car straight and on the line. I think I can drive more aggressively.
17. 11. 2018 07:45
16. 11. 2018 21:45 CET
9 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It is going to get better and better with every car that passes, I think my improved time is only natural
17. 11. 2018 07:44
16. 11. 2018 21:44 CET
9 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): There is hope for sure. We can't do much without the rain because of cleaning all the loose gravel. We will continue driving and hoping that the god of rallying exists.

6 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It's been really good. It was more challenging than I thought with the hard tyres this afternoon. I had the same car on all the stages so I could push well. It was absolutely in the plan to be leading!
16. 11. 2018 15:11
16. 11. 2018 05:11 CET
6 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I'm part of the game and just need to follow the rules. The pace has been good and it was easier to drive on the second loop.
16. 11. 2018 15:10
16. 11. 2018 05:10 CET
6 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Quite lucky really, we damaged a wheel on the last stage and the spare was a badly worn soft. Happy to minimise the time loss.
16. 11. 2018 15:10
16. 11. 2018 05:10 CET
6 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Nice stage, clean run. Tried to go like the clappers when I could!
16. 11. 2018 14:45
16. 11. 2018 04:45 CET
6 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Yeah, that's it really. We're all competitors at the end of the day wanting to compete - especially when you haven't got a seat next year - but we have to respect the decision of the team, at the end of the day we're employed to do a job and that's how it is.
16. 11. 2018 14:45
16. 11. 2018 04:45 CET
6 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): We thought Neuville was 6.9sec quicker but then realised he was a minute slower. The stage wasn't too bad, towards the end there were some slippy places.
16. 11. 2018 14:45
16. 11. 2018 04:45 CET
6 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I need to save the car! My front-end is quite damaged. That was a heavy water splash it seems. It is nice that the engine managed to keep running after these 15 or 20 seconds misfiring.
16. 11. 2018 14:44
16. 11. 2018 04:44 CET
6 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Some moments we had because of the missing aero, some places you turn and nothing happens - not a great feeling. I need to try, but the mistakes I've done so far - I don't like these ones.
16. 11. 2018 14:44
16. 11. 2018 04:44 CET
6 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): On the landing of a jump the tyre came off the rim.
16. 11. 2018 14:43
16. 11. 2018 04:43 CET
6 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I push like crazy, this was worse than this morning - I was on the limit, including on the jump. That is good news.

5 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): Everything fine, it didn't feel completely perfect like this morning but the time is good so we must be doing something right.
16. 11. 2018 13:46
16. 11. 2018 03:46 CET
5 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It was a clean stage and a good drive. Let's say we are following the plan.
16. 11. 2018 13:43
16. 11. 2018 03:43 CET
5 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Not a bad stage, really enjoyable with a nice flow. The last part reminds me of home, for the whole loop the tyres should work well. It is pretty close between everyone so it is small margins but there is a little bit left.
16. 11. 2018 13:41
16. 11. 2018 03:41 CET
5 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Much better than the first one, it was obviously a bogey one. I have a medium tyre on the rear so I'm trying to manage it the best I can.
16. 11. 2018 13:41
16. 11. 2018 03:41 CET
5 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): The stage was all fine for me, no problems.
16. 11. 2018 13:40
16. 11. 2018 03:40 CET
5 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was a good stage, no mistakes, generally good clean drive.
16. 11. 2018 13:40
16. 11. 2018 03:40 CET
5 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The same speed as on the first pass. I believe it is okay for the next stage.
16. 11. 2018 13:39

5 (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): stopped with a misfire after the watersplash
16. 11. 2018 13:38
16. 11. 2018 03:38 CET
5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The front was in the watersplash and took all the front away I guess. We had damage on the previous one, it is running like a dog.
16. 11. 2018 13:36
16. 11. 2018 03:36 CET
5 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The stage was okay, different tyre strategy than Ogier, let's see if it is working. I can't do much more.
16. 11. 2018 13:35
16. 11. 2018 03:35 CET
5 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The grip is better, but it is still getting a little bit better for the others. I have done two stages now where I am on the limit - I cannot do any more.
16. 11. 2018 13:12
16. 11. 2018 03:12 CET
4 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): This was the stage where we would sacrifice a bit to gain later so I am pleased with that.
16. 11. 2018 13:12
16. 11. 2018 03:12 CET
4 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): The driving was a bit better and I was quite happy with the driving. Maybe I could have gone a little bit faster.
16. 11. 2018 13:11
16. 11. 2018 03:11 CET
4 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Sun is shining and it's hot so the hard is the only option. I knew this stage wouldn't be great for the hards but they should be spot on for the next one. I'm starting to get a bit of mojo back too.
16. 11. 2018 13:11
16. 11. 2018 03:11 CET
4 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): I had a couple of silly slides and mistakes but it is not bad - it's only two seconds.
16. 11. 2018 13:10
16. 11. 2018 03:10 CET
4 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It's to be expected, so it's fine. It's just how it is.
16. 11. 2018 13:10
16. 11. 2018 03:10 CET
4 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It is okay, we lost a little bit to Ott and Esapekka but they were running a mix of tyres while I'm running four hards. The next stages should be better for me on the hards.
16. 11. 2018 13:09
16. 11. 2018 03:09 CET
4 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The road was more slippy which was a surprise for me. I expected more grip but it wasn't there. I went for the hard tyres but I don't think it is the tyre choice, it is more the surface.

4 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): At the start I hit the bale. It is affecting the way the car is handling.

16. 11. 2018 03:08 CET
4 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We are on a different tyre strategy and for me I think this is the worst stage. I'm on three hard and two soft and he is on two soft and three hard so let's see what is working better.
16. 11. 2018 13:06
16. 11. 2018 03:06 CET
4 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Not really fantastic line, honestly I was on the limit the whole stage - I cannot do more.

3 flash info (71 - Evans Eli / Searcy Ben): Big jump = big landing. Not the start we wanted. Silly mistake from me not respecting the Coffs Harbour whoops. Sorry team.

16. 11. 2018 05:06 CET
3 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It was very enjoyable! What can I say? It was a beautiful stage and I had a good rhythm through there, I was thinking back to Finland when I was on the start line there. I didn't do this stage last year, but the car was great, it was a good morning all in all.
16. 11. 2018 15:05
16. 11. 2018 05:05 CET
3 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It was quite challenging, our first time here and I was too careful on those bumps because they look quite hard, but it was not too bad.
16. 11. 2018 15:05
16. 11. 2018 05:05 CET
3 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Definitely coming back to me, the first half of the stage was really good. Struggled a little bit for the rhythm for the last five or six Ks but it's alright.
16. 11. 2018 15:04
16. 11. 2018 05:04 CET
3 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Not great, I think I have a cracked disc - very tricky through the stage. Few big jumps, couple of buckoos if you want to call them that.

16. 11. 2018 05:01 CET
3 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's been a nice morning. I've been enjoying it. Here, the new man-made bumps are really nasty but it is the same for everybody. They are on such fast sections.
16. 11. 2018 15:01
16. 11. 2018 05:01 CET
3 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was a really big bump and it just threw us off the road. It damaged the wheel as well, it lost me time towards the end.
16. 11. 2018 15:00
16. 11. 2018 05:00 CET
3 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I tried to do a good stage, but I got a huge kick on one of those jumps and almost rolled - I took it a bit steady after that.
16. 11. 2018 15:00
16. 11. 2018 05:00 CET
3 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It is the worst, we knew it before. I guess this one is going to be hard. I think I will be cleaning again this afternoon.
16. 11. 2018 13:34
16. 11. 2018 03:34 CET
2 flash info (21 - Serderidis Jourdan / Vanneste Lara): Fast and flowing indeed! We don't have the right set-up for this type of this stage, it was better suited to the last one but it is still early days.
16. 11. 2018 13:33
16. 11. 2018 03:33 CET
2 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): The stage is beautiful but I didn't enjoy it. I was unable to have any rhythm, I don't know why. The car was working and Torstein was doing his job on the notes, I just need to some time to get back into it again.
16. 11. 2018 13:32
16. 11. 2018 03:32 CET
2 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I tried to keep the car on the line, and I was braking too hard - too aggressively - on a couple of occassions, but quite okay.
16. 11. 2018 13:31
16. 11. 2018 03:31 CET
2 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Really struggling for a rhythm this morning, because I've been out of the car for a wee while I'm struggling to gel with the notes and the car. The car itself is fine, it's just me trying to get in sync with the car and the notes.
16. 11. 2018 13:30
16. 11. 2018 03:30 CET
2 flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Mediocre, I'm struggling with the front of the car to be honest. I can't get the car to work how I want, but at least the time is going in the right direction.
16. 11. 2018 13:29
16. 11. 2018 03:29 CET
2 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): All pretty good I think, not perfect everywhere but pretty good.
16. 11. 2018 13:29
16. 11. 2018 03:29 CET
2 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): It was an okay stage, nothing more, nothing less. Could have gone faster, wasn't too efficient. Hope it will be better on the next stage.
16. 11. 2018 13:28
16. 11. 2018 03:28 CET
2 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The car is working well. I was very happy to drive. One slippy left-hander - a junction where I jumped a bit more than I expected.
16. 11. 2018 13:27
16. 11. 2018 03:27 CET
2 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): To be honest, it didn't feel so good. It was so wide and I was too cautious. I felt like I had a lot of room on every corner. Lot of margin for sure, I can try to go much faster.
16. 11. 2018 13:27
16. 11. 2018 03:27 CET
2 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The stage was okay, but there is still a bit of cleaning. Definitely not on the limit, still just the second stage.
16. 11. 2018 13:26
16. 11. 2018 03:26 CET
2 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was a good stage, it is difficult one but I tried to do a clean stage. I saw the lines of Seb, very wide everywhere, I tried to calm it down and be a bit more efficient.
16. 11. 2018 13:25
16. 11. 2018 03:25 CET
2 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Good feeling, I push and I cannot really do more than this. The end of the stage is really dry so that will affect the times.
16. 11. 2018 13:23
16. 11. 2018 03:23 CET
1 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): Not a bad start, I struggled a bit in some sections with some understeering. But when it was working it was working nice, but with the two understeerings I made two mistakes in some pretty important corners.
16. 11. 2018 13:21
16. 11. 2018 03:21 CET
1 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): Feeling was okay, grip was quite high so I could push a little bit harder.
16. 11. 2018 13:20
16. 11. 2018 03:20 CET
1 flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): No problems, just didn't have a very good rhythm in there. A little under-committed in some placed and over-committed in others.
16. 11. 2018 13:20
16. 11. 2018 03:20 CET
1 flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It felt not so bad, but maybe a little bit careful - it's the way of the game here unfortunately.
16. 11. 2018 13:19
16. 11. 2018 03:19 CET
1 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): It was an okay stage, careful in places - first stage just trying to get myself dialled in. Happy enough, happy enough.
16. 11. 2018 13:17
16. 11. 2018 03:17 CET
1 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): This stage, we were running this in the shakedown yesterday so it was already pretty clean and we don't have the cleaning effect as much. It was pretty slippy in some places though.
16. 11. 2018 13:17
16. 11. 2018 03:17 CET
1 flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It was a good start, very clean run. Pretty happy for that. Seems the set-up is good, now we go on a little different kind of surface so I hope it works good there as well.
16. 11. 2018 13:16
16. 11. 2018 03:16 CET
1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Feeling is good, the grip is quite high. It is surprising, but the next stage will be a completely different surface.
16. 11. 2018 13:15
16. 11. 2018 03:15 CET
1 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): In this stage there is not much difference, in the first kilometre there is a little bit of cleaning. Had a good run, nothing major. There is still margin to improve.
16. 11. 2018 13:14
16. 11. 2018 03:14 CET
1 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I would have wished for a bit more rain for sure, it is quite dry - not optimum.
