Information

Date and time	SS	Information
12. 05. 2019 16:48 12. 05. 2019 22:48 CET	16	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's great to finish this first edition of Rally Chile like this. It's been three very demanding days which required plenty of concentration and energy. I am happy for myself and particularly for the guys at Toyota Gazoo Racing. We lost the lead in two events before, so it was out time to win now.
12. 05. 2019 16:48 12. 05. 2019 22:48 CET	16	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I am surprised that my time here was not so bad because the extinguisher went off and the smell in the cockpit was so bad I almost went unconscious. It's a good second place in Chile after an interesting battle with Loeb.
12. 05. 2019 16:47 12. 05. 2019 22:47 CET	16	(19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): Congratulations to Hyundai Motorsport for making a very good job. We had a solid pace and the last two days were particularly satisfying. I am happy to see I am among the front-runners again.
12. 05. 2019 16:47 12. 05. 2019 22:47 CET	16	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was a possitive rally for the team, but it was never easy. Conditions were mostly difficult. We gave everything we had until last night and today we took it a little easier.
12. 05. 2019 16:47 12. 05. 2019 22:47 CET	16	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): It's a good result for us with two good final positions for Elfyn and me. We were able to catch some nice points. M-Sport did a good work here.
12. 05. 2019 16:46 12. 05. 2019 22:46 CET	16	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I didn't have enough steering angle, so I spun. The gear lever was very hard when I tried to select first speed again. At least my split times in this Power Stage were good until that happened.
12. 05. 2019 16:46 12. 05. 2019 22:46 CET	16	(89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): This was disappointing after our good wrork the other side of the Andes. I think my biggest mistake was to make very agressive notes during the recce. We saw that was not OK in Leg 1 and after that we lost confidence. There were other drivers crashing and we didnt want that for us.
12. 05. 2019 16:46 12. 05. 2019 22:46 CET	16	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): It was a difficult event and certainly not a result to go home pleased.
12. 05. 2019 16:46 12. 05. 2019 22:46 CET	16	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): We didn't know about what to expect. It was wet earlier, but now the road was better, so were our times.
12. 05. 2019 16:46 12. 05. 2019 22:46 CET	16	(22 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): This feels great because we had not had a good start to the season, so a win is fantastic, even more in our first visit to this country. Big thanks to the team because they did everything right. I am also please with my own performance in these demanding roads.
12. 05. 2019 16:45 12. 05. 2019 22:45 CET	16	(23 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I am happy that we were to get some more speed out of the car in Chile. It's a pity we were denied of a new win due to technical issues after leading during the first day.
12. 05. 2019 16:45 12. 05. 2019 22:45 CET	16	(21 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): It was an eventful rally for me, but at least here we are in the Top-3 again. There were a few problems, but the overall feeling is good.
12. 05. 2019 16:45 12. 05. 2019 22:45 CET	16	(37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): This rally was like growing up for me because I had to get used to a few things after almost two years without competing in this kind of surface. Being out of training can really change one's pace. The rally was tricky, but I enjoyed coming here.
12. 05. 2019 16:44 12. 05. 2019 22:44 CET	16	Starting order: 1.Bertelli, 2.Greensmith, 3.Ostberg, 4.Rovanperä, 5.Latvala, 6.Meeke, 7.Mikkelsen, 8.Lappi, 9.Suninen, 10.Evans, 11.Loeb, 12.Ogier, 13.Tanak.
12. 05. 2019 16:54 12. 05. 2019 22:54 CET	14	(71 - Rosselot Luis Ignacio / Brizio Marcelo): retired after SS 14
12. 05. 2019 16:53 12. 05. 2019 22:53 CET	14	(58 - Scuncio Martín / Roman Javiera): retired after SS 14
12. 05. 2019 16:53 12. 05. 2019 22:53 CET	14	(99 - Vildosola Marcelo / Diaz Gonzalo): retired in SS 14
12. 05. 2019 16:53 12. 05. 2019 22:53 CET	14	(59 - Etcheverry Tomás / Vera Sebastián): retired in SS 14
12. 05. 2019 16:52 12. 05. 2019 22:52 CET	14	(42 - Heller Alberto / Diaz Jose): accident in SS 14
12. 05. 2019 16:44 12. 05. 2019 22:44 CET	14	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Both French guys are being quick because of their fight. I am keeping a good pace and trying to save my tyres for the Power Stage a little bit.
12. 05. 2019 16:44 12. 05. 2019 22:44 CET	14	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I had to commit myself here. I had some doubts because you need a fine line in this test, but yes, I was determined to push harder.
12. 05. 2019 16:43 12. 05. 2019 22:43 CET	14	(19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): This road is very narrow and very fast. I was hesitating in some corners. If you are not accurate, you are off the way.
12. 05. 2019 16:43 12. 05. 2019 22:43 CET	14	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I am trying to look after everything in the car and make it to the finish.
12. 05. 2019 16:43 12. 05. 2019 22:43 CET	14	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): It's a tight batlle. The gap is not enough, but at least I enjoyed driving this special stage.
12. 05. 2019 16:43 12. 05. 2019 22:43 CET	14	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): For my confidence, it is not the same when the road offers more grip than when it doesn't. These are challenging stages for sure.
12. 05. 2019 16:42 12. 05. 2019 22:42 CET	14	(89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I am playing a safe leg at the moment. It was foggy in some place, so I didn't want to take silly risks.
12. 05. 2019 16:42 12. 05. 2019 22:42 CET	14	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): This stage had a loose surface. I do what I can, but I am really looking forward to the Power Stage now.
12. 05. 2019 16:42 12. 05. 2019 22:42 CET	14	(37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): This was really the most technical road I have ever driven. Great stage, but so demanding. You really have to drive here.
12. 05. 2019 16:42 12. 05. 2019 22:42 CET	14	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): This is really a rally road. It has a rough surface. I liked it. It is nice, but very difficult at the same time, so if you are fighting for a position like Ogier and Loeb it is very easy to make a mistake.
12. 05. 2019 16:51 12. 05. 2019 22:51 CET	13	(75 - Rosselot Emilio / Cañete Tomás): retired in SS 13
12. 05. 2019 16:51 12. 05. 2019 22:51 CET	13	(56 - Lyon Germán / Uez Ignacio): retired before SS 13
12. 05. 2019 16:41 12. 05. 2019 22:41 CET	13	(23 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It's not a big gap for our hopes. I can't handle the car nicely in these conditions. We tried to have a softer set-up, but it is not really helping much.
12. 05. 2019 16:41 12. 05. 2019 22:41 CET	13	(22 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I am OK, but we know Mads Ostberg is coming quickly from behind. I was spinning a lot in slow corners here.
12. 05. 2019 16:41 12. 05. 2019 22:41 CET	13	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): My plan is to stick to the rally lead, of course. It's not easy because at the beginning it was a mix of mud and fog.
12. 05. 2019 16:41 12. 05. 2019 22:41 CET	13	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): This is going to be a very competitive day as far as I can see. The truth is I can't do any better than this.
12. 05. 2019 16:40 12. 05. 2019 22:40 CET	13	(19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): It was not a perfect stage for me because the grip was changing all the time, so I made a few mistakes here and there. I'd like to move to second, so we will see.
12. 05. 2019 16:40 12. 05. 2019 22:40 CET	13	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Yes, actually in some places it looked pretty much like home. I had quite a clean run.
12. 05. 2019 16:40 12. 05. 2019 22:40 CET	13	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): I am checking how the tyres work like this and I am glad to see my time here was good.
12. 05. 2019 16:39 12. 05. 2019 22:39 CET	13	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): There is a chance to push for fifth place, but here it was difficult to drive properly because the road is so slippery.
12. 05. 2019 16:39 12. 05. 2019 22:39 CET	13	(89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): As far as my popsition is concernced, I am like in no man's land, so there is not su much to fight. However, it is good t try some changes in the car. Conditions are wet and very different today again.
12. 05. 2019 16:39 12. 05. 2019 22:39 CET	13	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): It was quite a nice stage, similar to Rally GB. I have some WRC 2 Pro guys to catch up this morning if I want to move up the overall classification.
12. 05. 2019 16:38 12. 05. 2019 22:38 CET	13	(37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): It was OK. I had a nice drive with less fog in the end of the stage.
12. 05. 2019 16:38 12. 05. 2019 22:38 CET	13	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I really wanted a podium finish, so I was pushing really hard. Taking risks is like that. I am sorry for the team. My target for this leg is being fast in the Power Stage. Bio Bio felt like driving in Wales on a foggy morning.
12. 05. 2019 16:37 12. 05. 2019 22:37 CET	13	Maybe foggy in some areas. Temperatures ranging from 9° to 17°C range. Sunrise: 07:41. Sunset: 17:56.
11. 05. 2019 18:24 12. 05. 2019 00:24 CET	12	Stage was interrupted due to low light condition.
11. 05. 2019 18:05 12. 05. 2019 00:05 CET	12	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): broken suspension in SS 12
11. 05. 2019 18:04 12. 05. 2019 00:04 CET	12	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I lost some time because it was raining all of a sudden and there was deep fog in the middle of the stage. We were safe and I am pleased my gap is larger now.
11. 05. 2019 18:04 12. 05. 2019 00:04 CET	12	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I lost some time with less grip because there is now a puring rain in the area. Tomorrow it could be a nice fight with Sébastien Loeb.
11. 05. 2019 18:04 12. 05. 2019 00:04 CET	12	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): There was nothing serious to fight for in my position, so I took it easy, mainly to save tyres.
11. 05. 2019 18:04 12. 05. 2019 00:04 CET	12	(19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): It was a possitive day for us. Here, it was foggy at the beginning. We are pleased to be quick and free of problems in the i20 WRC. Latvala's problem in this stage makes it easier to settle in third place.
11. 05. 2019 18:03 12. 05. 2019 00:03 CET	12	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): stopped with damaged suspension
11. 05. 2019 18:03 12. 05. 2019 00:03 CET	12	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was a solid day. Of course, I'd like a littl bit more in terms of results, but that's how it is.
11. 05. 2019 18:03 12. 05. 2019 00:03 CET	12	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): We had a better pace, for sure. I want to do more, but I tried my best.
11. 05. 2019 18:02 12. 05. 2019 00:02 CET	12	(89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): My car had some set-up changes after the mid-day service, so I got more fun than before in the last few hours.
11. 05. 2019 18:02 12. 05. 2019 00:02 CET	12	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): To be honest, step by step I am enjoying a bit more. I would need more kilometers to get more confidence in the car and get closer to the other's pace.
11. 05. 2019 18:02 12. 05. 2019 00:02 CET	12	(37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): There were great stages, even if a little foggy recently. It was important to finish this leg.
11. 05. 2019 18:01 12. 05. 2019 00:01 CET	11	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's important to be clean in these roads and find a right balance in the pace we set in each stage.
11. 05. 2019 18:01 12. 05. 2019 00:01 CET	11	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Everything is fine. Maybe my tre choice is not so bad. It's a little foggy in some places.
11. 05. 2019 18:01 12. 05. 2019 00:01 CET	11	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I am having problems to keep the rear end of my car stable. It looks like these stage don't suit my car like yesterday´s.
11. 05. 2019 18:01 12. 05. 2019 00:01 CET	11	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): Good news about my times in the afternoon. I am trying to get back to rythm.
11. 05. 2019 18:00 12. 05. 2019 00:00 CET	11	(19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): Being faster on every split and not making mistakes are helping to gain a lot of time, so I am happy.
11. 05. 2019 18:00 12. 05. 2019 00:00 CET	11	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was a good run all in all. I felt some understeer toward the end of the stage, but I can't complain.
11. 05. 2019 18:00 12. 05. 2019 00:00 CET	11	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): I struggled a bit with confidence. I think the worn out tyres had to do with that.
11. 05. 2019 18:00 12. 05. 2019 00:00 CET	11	(89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): We had a clean stage. Actually, we were kind of discovering the place. It was fine.
11. 05. 2019 17:59 11. 05. 2019 23:59 CET	11	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The road was so loose here that I had no proper lines to take and there was not much more I could do.
11. 05. 2019 18:06 12. 05. 2019 00:06 CET	10	(54 - Rossi Felipe / Allende Luis): retired in SS 10
11. 05. 2019 17:59 11. 05. 2019 23:59 CET	10	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I lost about 4 seconds here, but that is not much considering my tyre choice is made more for the coming stages.
11. 05. 2019 17:59 11. 05. 2019 23:59 CET	10	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We really had to push to get this time. The car has some set-up changes that I like.
11. 05. 2019 17:58 11. 05. 2019 23:58 CET	10	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was not a good stage for me. Apparently, this road didn't suit me somehow even if everything felt OK along the course.
11. 05. 2019 17:58 11. 05. 2019 23:58 CET	10	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): For sure it is much better to drive the car after all the work they have done on it a couple of hours ago. Everything is performing well now.
11. 05. 2019 17:58 11. 05. 2019 23:58 CET	10	(19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): I guess times are quite good. I didn't know what to expect from the tyres here because I was fighting the car a lot.
11. 05. 2019 17:58 11. 05. 2019 23:58 CET	10	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): There was a lot of tyre talk in the mid-day service, so we are now checking how our choice works.
11. 05. 2019 17:57 11. 05. 2019 23:57 CET	10	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): The grip has been incredible in this test. So much that I thought I was driving on tarmac in some places.
11. 05. 2019 17:57 11. 05. 2019 23:57 CET	10	(89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): It's important for us to take manufacturers points home, so I am being cautious. The car is good, so it's all about eh driving now.
11. 05. 2019 17:57 11. 05. 2019 23:57 CET	10	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's strange that we come from a long time over slippery surfaces and now the ground is really abrasive, with lot more grip.
11. 05. 2019 17:57 11. 05. 2019 23:57 CET	10	(37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): The fixed th twisted stuff of the car in the service park, so of course now it is nice to drive it again.
11. 05. 2019 18:06 12. 05. 2019 00:06 CET	9	(93 - Nuñez Luis / De Gavardo Antonio): retired after SS 9
11. 05. 2019 18:06 12. 05. 2019 00:06 CET	9	(88 - Bastidas Jonathan / Del Solar Arturo): retired after SS 9
11. 05. 2019 18:05 12. 05. 2019 00:05 CET	9	(84 - Devaud Pedro / Cardenas Diego): retired after SS 9
11. 05. 2019 12:15 11. 05. 2019 18:15 CET	9	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Gaps are very, very small, but I feel fine because we are driving nice and clean. We have no worries at the moment.
11. 05. 2019 12:14 11. 05. 2019 18:14 CET	9	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We are doing the best we can, but we have some issues to be faster. It is interesting to see we could take good points from Chile, hopefully, but we would like to be quicker.
11. 05. 2019 12:14 11. 05. 2019 18:14 CET	9	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I just got out of the car to check my rear tyres and I can see they are finished. Like this, it was a hard drive during the last few kilometers. Maybe we all expected less rubber waste today.
11. 05. 2019 12:14 11. 05. 2019 18:14 CET	9	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I can get some fresh air and breather without the windscreen at 150 kmh and I get so much noise inside the car, but I happy my times are getting better and better.
11. 05. 2019 12:13 11. 05. 2019 18:13 CET	9	(19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): Earlier, I was struggling with the fog, but now everything is better. I am starting to understand the car, which was different to what I was used to. I feel this can be a good rally for us.
11. 05. 2019 12:13 11. 05. 2019 18:13 CET	9	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I am 6.5s quicker than Lappi here and that is OK. Now we are heading to the Service Area and we will talk to the team in case we need some work to do in the car or some setup change.
11. 05. 2019 12:13 11. 05. 2019 18:13 CET	9	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): The rally is progressively getting to more normal conditions, but it is still quite of a challenge.
11. 05. 2019 12:12 11. 05. 2019 18:12 CET	9	(89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): We did the recce in quite dark conditions and now we are driving in sun light, so it all looks pretty different from the cockpit.
11. 05. 2019 12:12 11. 05. 2019 18:12 CET	9	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I was hoping that soft or medium compuonds would last longer because it was cold in the morning, but it didn't happen and that is making my day more difficult.
11. 05. 2019 12:11 11. 05. 2019 18:11 CET	9	(37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): I just went wide, then hit a bank witht he rear end at the exit of a corner and rolled. Fortunately, we are fine and so is the car, because after that we were able to go on.
11. 05. 2019 17:59 11. 05. 2019 23:59 CET	8	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We are both safe. We had a proper check at the local hospital, so I am using these crutches only for a short time to avoid the pain in my leg. Our pace notes were too optimistic, it seems. We had the place like flat over crest, but landed a bit out of the road at high speed, hitting a small bank that caused that heavy roll series. By then, there was not way to get rid of that situation. We didn't want to be crash dummies and this is not good for the championship, but we are now looking forward to Portugal and test the car again next Friday.
11. 05. 2019 12:35 11. 05. 2019 18:35 CET	8	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): accident in SS 8
11. 05. 2019 12:11 11. 05. 2019 18:11 CET	8	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Thierry's accident can happen to anyone in a place like that. These two stages were very tough for the tyres.
11. 05. 2019 12:11 11. 05. 2019 18:11 CET	8	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I just hope Neuville and Gilsoul are well right now because that is the most importnt thing. My C3 is not exactly great this morning, but we are still in the fight.
11. 05. 2019 12:11 11. 05. 2019 18:11 CET	8	The stage has been red flagged following Neuville's accident. More details when we have them.
11. 05. 2019 12:10 11. 05. 2019 18:10 CET	8	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The place where Neuville crashed is a flat over crest. I lifted there and yet I went wide, so it is a nasty place. My time is good, so I am improving.
11. 05. 2019 12:10 11. 05. 2019 18:10 CET	8	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): It wasn't my plan to be this fast without the windscreen, but it was obviously good news to be told that at the time control.
11. 05. 2019 12:09 11. 05. 2019 18:09 CET	8	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): rolled
11. 05. 2019 12:09 11. 05. 2019 18:09 CET	8	(19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): I really enjoyed the stage and the car feels pretty well. I pushed hard, so I am pleased to see the time was not bad.
11. 05. 2019 12:09 11. 05. 2019 18:09 CET	8	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was nice, but not perfect. I was struggling in some sections.
11. 05. 2019 12:08 11. 05. 2019 18:08 CET	8	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): I made some mistakes getting to the end of the test and I had to take it easy on the rubber, too.
11. 05. 2019 12:08 11. 05. 2019 18:08 CET	8	(89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I am being too careful, trying to get my pacenotes right in this first visit to Chile.
11. 05. 2019 12:08 11. 05. 2019 18:08 CET	8	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I was slow because I completely killed the tyres in SS7. Had I ushed harder, I would probably have not made it to the finish.
11. 05. 2019 12:07 11. 05. 2019 18:07 CET	8	(37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): The day is getting better and this stage was fantastic, the best of the rally so far for me. I just got a junction wrong at the end of it.
11. 05. 2019 12:33 11. 05. 2019 18:33 CET	7	(92 - Martinez Luis / Sanhueza Juan Manuel): retired in SS 7
11. 05. 2019 12:33 11. 05. 2019 18:33 CET	7	(73 - Ibarra Ramón / Varela Juan): retired in SS 7
11. 05. 2019 12:07 11. 05. 2019 18:07 CET	7	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Most of us thought it was going to be drier, but it is not like that. This stage was as challenging as the ones we drve yesterday.
11. 05. 2019 12:07 11. 05. 2019 18:07 CET	7	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): It was a slow corner where I ran too wide. There were trees near the edge of the road, I hit some and damaged the car.
11. 05. 2019 12:07 11. 05. 2019 18:07 CET	7	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I had to slow down there because the corner was tricky and I didn.t want to make a mistake, particularly becaues I'd say I feel the car has some understeer.
11. 05. 2019 12:06 11. 05. 2019 18:06 CET	7	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I think Thierry didn't realize we were behing him after he went off the road. In these cases, we should have time benefit.
11. 05. 2019 12:06 11. 05. 2019 18:06 CET	7	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I can't see many changes on the stages. It is so tricky. I bet my stage was good overall.
11. 05. 2019 12:06 11. 05. 2019 18:06 CET	7	(19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): It's early in the morning and there is not grip at the moment. I was sliding too much everywhere, so I am surprised my time here is not that bad.
11. 05. 2019 12:05 11. 05. 2019 18:05 CET	7	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I had quite a big moment going completely off the road for several meters, but fortunately the Fiesta shows no damage.
11. 05. 2019 12:05 11. 05. 2019 18:05 CET	7	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): I'd say the morning is starting better than yesterday because conditions have improved and it is definitely easier to drive.
11. 05. 2019 12:05 11. 05. 2019 18:05 CET	7	(89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): The feeling is better than yesterday on the road, but I lost time when I got stuck in a ditch for a while because the car is understeering.
11. 05. 2019 12:05 11. 05. 2019 18:05 CET	7	(37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): First it is very slieppery again, then you find some ruts on the road and finally you get grip. I have a bit of understeering.
11. 05. 2019 12:04 11. 05. 2019 18:04 CET	7	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): rolled
11. 05. 2019 12:03 11. 05. 2019 18:03 CET	7	Two minutes start intervals for SS 7, three minutes for SS 8 and SS 9.
11. 05. 2019 12:03 11. 05. 2019 18:03 CET	7	Partly cloudy and temperatures getting just milder: 11°C in the morning and 16°C before mid-afternoon. Same humidity rates as yesterday. Sunrise: 07:40 hrs. Sunset: 17:56.
10. 05. 2019 19:54 11. 05. 2019 01:54 CET	6	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): Even until the last kilometers of the day, the results were not possitive for us. Recently, I hit a barrier and had to select reverse.We need better luck than this.
10. 05. 2019 19:54 11. 05. 2019 01:54 CET	6	(19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): I enjoyed this stage so much because with all the people around it looked like a video game. I am glad we made progress during the day.
10. 05. 2019 19:53 11. 05. 2019 01:53 CET	6	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Of course I wanted to do more, but it was a really complicated day for many of us. Things went better in the afternoon, though.
10. 05. 2019 19:53 11. 05. 2019 01:53 CET	6	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I am OK now after a disappointing last stage over gravel a while ago after my mistake. Road position is very important in toda's rallies, so it makes a difference. Today, I wanted to be good in every stage, not just some of them.
10. 05. 2019 19:53 11. 05. 2019 01:53 CET	6	(89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I am going to sleep and start from scratch during the following leg because today I was not up to my expectations and I want to make good use of the car, which is well-balanced now.
10. 05. 2019 19:52 11. 05. 2019 01:52 CET	6	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Overall, my day was not so bad, but in recent stages we gave so much time that we will have to recover in Leg 2.
10. 05. 2019 19:52 11. 05. 2019 01:52 CET	6	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): During the recce it was foggy and it changed today in the stages, so a lot changed from the car. We will get to a better place since tomorrow.
10. 05. 2019 19:52 11. 05. 2019 01:52 CET	6	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was a good morning for me and an even better afteroon. I am getting a great feeling with the car. I will try to keeo this focused in the next two days. Today it was all about traction and our engineers at Toyota Gazoo Racing did a great job. They found a balance in the Yaris and I drive as quick as possible. Chile is as nice as demanding.
10. 05. 2019 19:52 11. 05. 2019 01:52 CET	6	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was a challenging day. There is no doubt about it. I couldn't match Tänak's speed, but I'll try to reach him tomorrow. We will see what happens because there is a long way to go yet.
10. 05. 2019 19:51 11. 05. 2019 01:51 CET	6	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I don't know if this is exactly the position where I'd like to be, but I'll try harder in coming stages. I could fight Latvala's position for a start.
10. 05. 2019 17:32 10. 05. 2019 23:32 CET	5	(37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): I must have got my pacenotes wrong because I missed a junction near the end. There is one more test in town now, so here we go.
10. 05. 2019 17:30 10. 05. 2019 23:30 CET	5	(19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): I have been pushing hard all afternoon and I am pleased with most of this leg and particularly after finishing 3.7s behind Tänak here.
10. 05. 2019 17:30 10. 05. 2019 23:30 CET	5	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I need more kilometers in the C3 to get more confidence and be faster.
10. 05. 2019 17:29 10. 05. 2019 23:29 CET	5	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I was quickets all stage long until the last split. I can't believe I was so fool to stall the car in a junction. I could have won this stage.
10. 05. 2019 17:29 10. 05. 2019 23:29 CET	5	(89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): The car was on two wheels and we were lucky not to roll after losing the rear end. The i20 is fine, so I'll try to be better tomorrow even if it is the hardest day.
10. 05. 2019 17:29 10. 05. 2019 23:29 CET	5	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I am not surprised. I couldn't commit in this stage.
10. 05. 2019 17:23 10. 05. 2019 23:23 CET	5	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): It's OK to be third quickest so far in this stage, but I am hesitating in some corners and I don't know what is missing.
10. 05. 2019 17:23 10. 05. 2019 23:23 CET	5	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I am giving everything I have, but Tänak is very fast again this afternoon.
10. 05. 2019 17:23 10. 05. 2019 23:23 CET	5	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I just pushed like hell here because I can see cleaner lines than before. But I am not happy with trying this hard and not knowing how I will start tomorrow.
10. 05. 2019 20:08 11. 05. 2019 02:08 CET	4	(85 - Aguilar Diego / Oyarzo Juan Pablo): retired in SS 4

10. 05. 2019 18:41 11. 05. 2019 00:41 CET	4	(99 - Vildosola Marcelo / Diaz Gonzalo): retired in SS 4
10. 05. 2019 16:51 10. 05. 2019 22:51 CET	4	(21 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): It seems that when we fix one problem, other one suddenly comes. It was hard to do half a stage without power steering.
10. 05. 2019 16:50 10. 05. 2019 22:50 CET	4	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): Despite the road being more consistent, I am not please with my performance and the other guys are prving so fast today.
10. 05. 2019 16:29 10. 05. 2019 22:29 CET	4	(19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): I felt like this long stage was the right time to put some pressure and push harder, Luckily, everything went well for me and I am happy about my work here.
10. 05. 2019 16:27 10. 05. 2019 22:27 CET	4	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): For sure there is better grip than before, but maybe I was too slow.
10. 05. 2019 16:24 10. 05. 2019 22:24 CET	4	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Generally, it was a good test for me. I tried to keep my lines as smooth as possible. Nothing seriours happened, so that's fine.
10. 05. 2019 16:24 10. 05. 2019 22:24 CET	4	(89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): There is more grip than in the morning. Even lilke that, I am not driving 100%, but the i20 WRC feels well, so I'd say we are going in the right direction.
10. 05. 2019 16:24 10. 05. 2019 22:24 CET	4	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The surface looks like polilshed getting closer to the trees, but actually I can't complain about this time.
10. 05. 2019 16:24 10. 05. 2019 22:24 CET	4	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): The road feels nicer than earlier, but it is still not enough for a clean run.
10. 05. 2019 16:23 10. 05. 2019 22:23 CET	4	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The car feels much better than in the morning and that makes me more confident overall.
10. 05. 2019 16:23 10. 05. 2019 22:23 CET	4	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): This second pass might be better only in some areas, but in the forest there is noto so much grip. I'm on the limit.
10. 05. 2019 16:23 10. 05. 2019 22:23 CET	4	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): At the beginning, the stage was OK, but not near the end. It's still very slippery and I too no unnecessary risks.
10. 05. 2019 13:46 10. 05. 2019 19:46 CET	3	(88 - Bastidas Jonathan / Del Solar Arturo): retired in SS 3

10. 05. 2019 11:38 10. 05. 2019 17:38 CET	3	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): I couldn't push harder than this, especially in places where there was fog. One just can't trust when visibiilty is not good.
10. 05. 2019 11:38 10. 05. 2019 17:38 CET	3	(19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): This rally can be tricky in several places. However, I am pleased not to make any big mistake. Little by little, I am catching up with the pace setters.
10. 05. 2019 11:38 10. 05. 2019 17:38 CET	3	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The car is brand new and yet it is performing quite well. I am trying my best in every stage.
10. 05. 2019 11:37 10. 05. 2019 17:37 CET	3	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Obviously the time is good, but I can't still be happy yet because I did some mistakes before the end of the stage.
10. 05. 2019 11:37 10. 05. 2019 17:37 CET	3	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It keeps foggy out there and I haven't been able to catch a nice rythm yet.
10. 05. 2019 11:36 10. 05. 2019 17:36 CET	3	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I have been struggling with a number of things. We can't see through the many trees along and the lack of grip is remarkable.
10. 05. 2019 11:36 10. 05. 2019 17:36 CET	3	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): There are thing to improve, but overall it is a possitive morning for us.
10. 05. 2019 11:36 10. 05. 2019 17:36 CET	3	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): He had new tyres here, so he was expected to do well. There is low visibilty in some places, but it is not so bad up to this point.
10. 05. 2019 11:35 10. 05. 2019 17:35 CET	3	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was a very demanding test. I don't know if my time here is enough to compensate what happened in the stage before, where I believe we could hae done a better time.
10. 05. 2019 10:45 10. 05. 2019 16:45 CET	3	Start will be delayed for 20 minutes.

10. 05. 2019 10:45 10. 05. 2019 16:45 CET	2	(19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): It looks like we were driving over grease rather than gravel. Here, we had to take care of some big rocks, too.
10. 05. 2019 10:45 10. 05. 2019 16:45 CET	2	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): For me, mud is not the biggest issue. It is the hard surface without any grip at all.
10. 05. 2019 10:44 10. 05. 2019 16:44 CET	2	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I particuarly struggle in long corners. The cars gets oversteering, but I'd say because grip is close to zero. I was trying to get to the finish. I had some scary moments soon after the start.
10. 05. 2019 10:44 10. 05. 2019 16:44 CET	2	(89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I lost time because I am sliding around too much everywhere. This reminds me of Finland when it rains.
10. 05. 2019 10:44 10. 05. 2019 16:44 CET	2	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I can't get any real feeling at the wheel of the Fiesta because we sping too much and there is no grip. These are really complicated conditions.
10. 05. 2019 10:43 10. 05. 2019 16:43 CET	2	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): The feeling here was horrible. Far too slippery. The Yaris is performing well, but I am not making it work.
10. 05. 2019 10:43 10. 05. 2019 16:43 CET	2	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I didn't feel well with my drive. The roads are extremely demanding. It is hard to get the right pace with our notes. The car is better now.
10. 05. 2019 10:43 10. 05. 2019 16:43 CET	2	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It is really hard to find traction in most of the places, but for sure the roads are really pretty.
10. 05. 2019 09:46 10. 05. 2019 15:46 CET	2	The stage was red flagged as the FIA safety delegate had not cleared the stage. It will restart with Sebastien Ogier once the safety delegate is clear of the test. Thierry Neuville will receive a notional time.
10. 05. 2019 09:39 10. 05. 2019 15:39 CET	2	Special stage has been red-flagged for safety reasons. More information when we receive it.

10. 05. 2019 08:37 10. 05. 2019 14:37 CET	1	(37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): It's been two years without enterng a gravel rally in a World Rally Car. It was a tricky stage, but I am pleased to be back at the wheel of this car.
10. 05. 2019 08:35 10. 05. 2019 14:35 CET	1	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): It was foggy most of the time and I could not see well through the windscreen, so it was hard to get confident in some corners.
10. 05. 2019 08:35 10. 05. 2019 14:35 CET	1	(19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): This was a fast and slippery road, a bit like Wales. I am getting used to the surface.
10. 05. 2019 08:35 10. 05. 2019 14:35 CET	1	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I ran wide in a long corner after a watersplash and had to select reverse gear.
10. 05. 2019 08:34 10. 05. 2019 14:34 CET	1	(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It makes me happy to be one of the two quickest crews here, but I am taking things step by step.
10. 05. 2019 08:34 10. 05. 2019 14:34 CET	1	(89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I was not flat out is the fast sections, so I am taking it easy to see how it goes in the longer stage coming now.

10. 05. 2019 08:34 10. 05. 2019 14:34 CET	1	(5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): There are many places brokeb, but there is mud beneath, so finding grip is a hard task. We are having a good start in terms of times.
10. 05. 2019 08:33 10. 05. 2019 14:33 CET	1	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The lack of grip is crazy. I stalled the Yaris and then could not restart. I guess there is one thing or two to fix in my car.
10. 05. 2019 08:21 10. 05. 2019 14:21 CET	1	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I am finding the stage different to what I saw during the recce, probably because of the fog and because it is very slippery everywhere. I stalled the car for a second corssing a small bridge.
10. 05. 2019 08:18 10. 05. 2019 14:18 CET	1	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was not a perfect start. I am struggling to find confidence in my pace notes
