22 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was a long weekend and there was a lot of pressure. The gap was never bigger than ten seconds and I can say every stage I was on the limit. It was a hard one but it feels good at the moment. We still have two rallies to go and we have seen plenty of drama in the past, so we need to keep going.
06. 10. 2019 13:06
06. 10. 2019 14:06 CET
22 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I probably wanted a bit more this weekend - our pace was good on Friday but we fell back a bit on Saturday. Hopefully Ott can bring it home and we can get a nice chunk of manufacturers' points.
06. 10. 2019 13:05
06. 10. 2019 14:05 CET
22 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): There is no room for these what ifs in rallying at this level. A big shame, the pace was good all weekend which is nice, nonetheless it would have been nice to be higher up.

06. 10. 2019 12:42 CET
21 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's a bit more inconsistent but we had a very clean stage. Let's see - we want to continue the same rhythm that we have had all weekend.
06. 10. 2019 11:42
06. 10. 2019 12:42 CET
21 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It's not possible. Everybody knows the stage well and it is very difficult to make any time.
06. 10. 2019 11:42
06. 10. 2019 12:42 CET
21 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I am not sure if I can do more but I will give it my everything.
06. 10. 2019 11:33
06. 10. 2019 12:33 CET
21 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): Very polished - especially under braking. Sometimes it's just so narrow that there is no room.
06. 10. 2019 11:33
06. 10. 2019 12:33 CET
21 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): In a hairpin right I couldn't get the car turned. I had to try and I gave it everything. At this speed it's easier to make mistakes so I can't do anything more.
06. 10. 2019 11:32
06. 10. 2019 12:32 CET
21 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Properly slippery in here - really difficult so let's see.
06. 10. 2019 11:32
06. 10. 2019 12:32 CET
21 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): I don't know if I had the right tyre choice on this stage now but it is nice to drive.

06. 10. 2019 11:14
06. 10. 2019 12:14 CET
19 flash info (55 - Solberg Petter / Mills Phil): We are trying to experiment a little bit and it doesn't feel so nice but maybe it is! I had to give Petter a hug this morning because it is so emotional - I even asked him for a selfie actually.
06. 10. 2019 11:14
06. 10. 2019 12:14 CET
19 flash info (22 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): We are trying to experiment a little bit and it doesn't feel so nice but maybe it is! I had to give Petter a hug this morning because it is so emotional - I even asked him for a selfie actually.
06. 10. 2019 11:13
06. 10. 2019 12:13 CET
19 flash info (25 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We're using it as a test session and today we have made another good step forward - we're feeling much more comfortable.
06. 10. 2019 11:13
06. 10. 2019 12:13 CET
19 flash info (23 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): In the first run this morning the grip was changing a lot, but the car feels good. Let's just get to the end.
06. 10. 2019 11:13
06. 10. 2019 12:13 CET
19 flash info (24 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): It's nice to see that a tarmac stage is coming.
06. 10. 2019 11:13
06. 10. 2019 12:13 CET
19 flash info (21 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I think we just need to enjoy the stages. There is a lot of spectators so it looks nice.
06. 10. 2019 11:12
06. 10. 2019 12:12 CET
19 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I am just focused on finishing the rally. Of course we need to keep the pace, but the feeling is good in the car so I feel confident.
06. 10. 2019 11:12
06. 10. 2019 12:12 CET
19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We are going to see...
06. 10. 2019 11:12
06. 10. 2019 12:12 CET
19 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Let's try to finish as fast as we can but the pace is not so great at the moment.
06. 10. 2019 11:11
06. 10. 2019 12:11 CET
19 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): These stages are tricky in their own way and it is very easy to make mistakes. The conditions this morning are very muddy so it is difficult to judge the braking.
06. 10. 2019 11:11
06. 10. 2019 12:11 CET
19 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I was flat out but the car was moving a lot. Let's see - I don't think my drive was the best but we will try for the next stage.
06. 10. 2019 11:10
06. 10. 2019 12:10 CET
19 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Let's see - we just need to keep doing our best. There was a bit more grip than I expected here.
06. 10. 2019 11:10
06. 10. 2019 12:10 CET
19 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): It's starting to get better and better. I have broken the code for driving a world rally car. It's a big difference from what I was used to earlier so we will just keep going like this.
06. 10. 2019 11:09
06. 10. 2019 12:09 CET
19 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's nice. I'd love to be in the heat of a battle because every time I press the brake a metre or two early I can feel it. This rally is very much what could have been but it's given me so much motivation.
06. 10. 2019 11:09
06. 10. 2019 12:09 CET
19 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's quite okay to be first on the road, for sure there was more grip. I wanted to be sure that I would not go off under braking so I could have been much faster but it's fine.
06. 10. 2019 11:08
06. 10. 2019 12:08 CET
18 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The car is great to drive. I have really good balance and I am just enjoying it. There was a really clean line in there.
06. 10. 2019 11:08
06. 10. 2019 12:08 CET
18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I have to try. It looks good compared to Seb but Ott will be fast so let's see.
06. 10. 2019 11:08
06. 10. 2019 12:08 CET
18 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Let's try to finish the rally. I don't think there is chance the guys in front.
06. 10. 2019 11:08
06. 10. 2019 12:08 CET
18 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): The gap is going to be difficult to close in 30kms. It's a very narrow stage with lots of overhanging ruts.
06. 10. 2019 11:07
06. 10. 2019 12:07 CET
18 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): He was very fast. We are on different tyres as well so let's see who is right at the end. I had a clean stage and I have more to give - feeling confident.
06. 10. 2019 11:07
06. 10. 2019 12:07 CET
18 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Let's see how it goes. I had a bit of a moment on the last corner - there was a massive boulder on the line just as I turned in. We just glanced it and I think we got away with it.
06. 10. 2019 11:07
06. 10. 2019 12:07 CET
18 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): It's good. I think the feeling is better than yesterday as I have got used to the car. I am looking forward to the next stage, it's tricky conditions but it's fun.
06. 10. 2019 11:06
06. 10. 2019 12:06 CET
18 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Obviously after making the mistake yesterday it's hard to be flat out again. It's nice to be able to see the road again finally.
06. 10. 2019 11:06
06. 10. 2019 12:06 CET
18 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I hit a straw bale. It was a very fast downhill into a long right and the bale was on the inside so I touched it. No drama.

15 flash info (24 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): Very sorry to the team because we rolled the car on the stage.
05. 10. 2019 16:30
05. 10. 2019 17:30 CET
15 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Same as we lost the championship with last year in Australia. We lost a bumper and now I can't hear anything that Martin is saying. One more stage to go - let's see what we can do but I would really like to hear something.
05. 10. 2019 16:29
05. 10. 2019 17:29 CET
15 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I can not do more - I am on the limit! It has been a good stage but I can't do more.
05. 10. 2019 16:29
05. 10. 2019 17:29 CET
15 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): It was raining quite heavily towards the end of the stage but the time isn't brilliant.
05. 10. 2019 16:29
05. 10. 2019 17:29 CET
15 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): The stage was really terrible because there was rain and mud on the screen for about 10kms and I couldn't get rid of it.
05. 10. 2019 16:28
05. 10. 2019 17:28 CET
15 (24 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): rolled

05. 10. 2019 17:28 CET
15 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): That driving was good fun! Elfyn is driving very well and he was very quick this morning. We had a good run.
05. 10. 2019 16:28
05. 10. 2019 17:28 CET
15 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): I just had a really bad rhythm and the car does not work when I don't use it properly.
05. 10. 2019 16:27
05. 10. 2019 17:27 CET
15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I had a little it of a scare with a really big stone on the line and I was convinced it would have caused a puncture. Otherwise it was quite okay.
05. 10. 2019 16:27
05. 10. 2019 17:27 CET
15 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): It's completely different from this morning but it is the same for everyone.
05. 10. 2019 16:27
05. 10. 2019 17:27 CET
15 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's very polished and the grip levels are very low. There was a lot of understeer for me so I was having to wait a long time before the car started to turn.

05. 10. 2019 15:50 CET
14 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I tried to do well but at the beginning I was understeering a lot and struggling to find the confidence.
05. 10. 2019 14:48
05. 10. 2019 15:48 CET
14 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We are pushing as hard as we can, all is okay.
05. 10. 2019 14:48
05. 10. 2019 15:48 CET
14 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): Couldn't have done much more! I think the times are going to be very very close.
05. 10. 2019 14:47
05. 10. 2019 15:47 CET
14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I had a good stage but again I got caught out a little bit beginning - the tyres were cold. Other than that I had a perfect stage.
05. 10. 2019 14:47
05. 10. 2019 15:47 CET
14 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I had a good stage with some small mistakes in there. We will continue to fight.
05. 10. 2019 14:47
05. 10. 2019 15:47 CET
14 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I can see the outline of the road but I can't see the grip on the surface. Sometimes we are getting mud on the screen and I can't clear it away with the wipers.
05. 10. 2019 14:46
05. 10. 2019 15:46 CET
14 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): It's just a mental effect - the car is fine so it is okay to push.
05. 10. 2019 14:46
05. 10. 2019 15:46 CET
14 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I think everyone will be slower - it's more slippery and polished. There is a lot of understeer and a lot of sliding for sure.

05. 10. 2019 12:41 CET
13 flash info (24 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): This one was okay The previous stage we were not able to do anything. We are trying to enjoy and just doing our own thing.
05. 10. 2019 11:41
05. 10. 2019 12:41 CET
13 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's tight and I must say it is slippery. It's definitely not easy but we are trying our best. You can measure a lot like this if you have 30kms and one second.
05. 10. 2019 11:41
05. 10. 2019 12:41 CET
13 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We had a big moment in the middle of the stage where I didn't understand a note and we hit a bank. I lost concentration before because we had a big impact earlier on and I thought we had a broken damper. The car is okay but it was a very strange impact.
05. 10. 2019 11:40
05. 10. 2019 12:40 CET
13 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): We're a fraction away this morning and it's slipping away. The car feels a bit different to day, a bit more lazy, but unfortunately we have no service today so we can't do anything.
05. 10. 2019 11:40
05. 10. 2019 12:40 CET
13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I tried hard but I made a small mistake in Sweet Lamb and lost a few seconds there.
05. 10. 2019 11:31
05. 10. 2019 12:31 CET
13 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I was really pushing to the maximum and I had nothing more to give.
05. 10. 2019 11:30
05. 10. 2019 12:30 CET
13 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Mechanically it's not so bad but I can't see out of the windscreen - it's cracked in front of me and I can't clean it either.
05. 10. 2019 11:30
05. 10. 2019 12:30 CET
13 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): I went wide at the beginning and couldn't keep the car on the stage so we got a puncture. Not very good.
05. 10. 2019 11:23
05. 10. 2019 12:23 CET
13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The previous 2 were really good. I didn't have as good of a run in here and I struggled in a few places because the grip was worse than I expected.
05. 10. 2019 11:23
05. 10. 2019 12:23 CET
13 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): The car feels very good so I am really enjoying the driving.
05. 10. 2019 11:23
05. 10. 2019 12:23 CET
13 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The grip is much better but there is still some muddy places. There was two big surprises as well - luckily I had some margin under braking so I didn't overshoot or anything.
05. 10. 2019 11:50
05. 10. 2019 12:50 CET

05. 10. 2019 12:17 CET
12 flash info (21 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We had to overtake Jan and I don't know what happened to him so I hope everything is okay. We have a big gap now and we can't take any risks.
05. 10. 2019 11:17
05. 10. 2019 12:17 CET
12 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was demanding. The grip was changing and it was not so easy. So far, so good.
05. 10. 2019 11:17
05. 10. 2019 12:17 CET
12 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's a good stage and we are trying. For me, it was not really possible to go faster.
05. 10. 2019 11:16
05. 10. 2019 12:16 CET
12 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): Quite good. The grip was inconsistent but very very slippery at the start. The road position is not perfect today but I'd rather be where I am.
05. 10. 2019 11:16
05. 10. 2019 12:16 CET
12 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Yeah we're okay. We were a little too optimistic - this stage has given me some amazing memories and some fairly shocking ones too.
05. 10. 2019 11:16
05. 10. 2019 12:16 CET
12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The first stage went okay but I don't know how this was now. I had to stop when I saw Craig off the road but okay, we tried.
05. 10. 2019 11:16
05. 10. 2019 12:16 CET
12 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): That was a beautiful stage. It is a long day and we are trying to push as fast as we can.

05. 10. 2019 11:13
05. 10. 2019 12:13 CET
12 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): I think it was a bit better and I was pushing a bit more. I was too careful in some places so unfortunately I lost time.
05. 10. 2019 11:12
05. 10. 2019 12:12 CET
12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The first one was pretty good. In here it was slippery in some places and so we ended up a little bit more sideways than we wanted to be in some places.
05. 10. 2019 11:12
05. 10. 2019 12:12 CET
12 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): The feeling is very good and I am enjoying the drive. The car is working very well so we will just keep going like this.
05. 10. 2019 11:12
05. 10. 2019 12:12 CET
12 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Quite nice. There was some light clouds out there but it wasn't really disturbing the visibility. Ten times better than the opener and I have more grip now.
05. 10. 2019 11:11
05. 10. 2019 12:11 CET

11 flash info (21 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): That was quite a nice stage. I drove without any risk but I had a nice rhythm and enjoyed the driving.
05. 10. 2019 11:07
05. 10. 2019 12:07 CET
11 flash info (24 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): We have to stay on the road and bring the car to the finish. I know that you can go fast on these stages but on this one I don't have enough experience.
05. 10. 2019 11:07
05. 10. 2019 12:07 CET
11 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): That's nice. Generally the grip was quite okay, we couldn't go to the limit but the car feels good.
05. 10. 2019 11:07
05. 10. 2019 12:07 CET
11 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We have to try. The conditions are good - I was not as sharp as I would have liked but it was not a bad stage. I have to try harder.
05. 10. 2019 11:06
05. 10. 2019 12:06 CET
11 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I didn't explore the grip enough - there was more of it than I expected. We have to try everything, Thierry is driving a Hyundai and we want to finish in front so we have work to do.
05. 10. 2019 11:06
05. 10. 2019 12:06 CET
11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I struggled in the beginning and I was too careful in the first part of the stage. It was a long day yesterday and a short night, but I should have done better.
05. 10. 2019 11:06
05. 10. 2019 12:06 CET
11 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): Everything was working fine. The grip was better than I expected and we could really push in here.
05. 10. 2019 11:06
05. 10. 2019 12:06 CET
11 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Quite reasonable. I thought I would lose a lot more to be honest with you. It's polishing a bit but it's just very hard to stick your neck out 100% when you are not getting much seat time in the car.
05. 10. 2019 11:05
05. 10. 2019 12:05 CET

05. 10. 2019 11:05
05. 10. 2019 12:05 CET
11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We have to focus stage by stage and do the best we can on each one. The grip was a bit changeable in here - unlike yesterday where you could read the grip a little bit more.
05. 10. 2019 11:05
05. 10. 2019 12:05 CET
11 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): It is good to have some sleep last night and think about my driving. What we did just now was fantastic and I really enjoyed it.
05. 10. 2019 11:04
05. 10. 2019 12:04 CET
11 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I was expecting to have good grip but it's quite far away from that to be honest. It was difficult to find any rhythm because the grip was so low, I am quite surprised to be honest.

10 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): I have been trying to make some good times. In the morning I made a mistake and lost 15-seconds so it wasn't easy. The conditions have also been changing a lot so it was difficult to be fast.
04. 10. 2019 19:45
04. 10. 2019 20:45 CET
10 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I had a big slide and aquaplaned on some mud with the rear so I was a little cautious after that! It's not over yet - there will be a few time differences tonight I hope.
04. 10. 2019 19:43
04. 10. 2019 20:43 CET
10 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): That was not good enough. I was struggling to see because I changed my lights before the stage and they were pointing too far down, so I couldn't see everything in the distance.
04. 10. 2019 19:40
04. 10. 2019 20:40 CET
10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The driving was good but we have to investigate. I was not on the pace that I wanted this afternoon. Still, we are here and we have to make the most of this situation.
04. 10. 2019 19:40
04. 10. 2019 20:40 CET
10 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was a good day, we are in the fight for the win so that's what we want. It's never easy at night but we are happy to be here.
04. 10. 2019 19:40
04. 10. 2019 20:40 CET
10 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was quite stressful in there. In the previous stage we lost the lights and the wires were damaged so we had a lot of work to do on the road section! Luckily we had some lights in there.

04. 10. 2019 20:11 CET
9 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's really really tricky in some places - it would have been better if it was fully dark.
04. 10. 2019 19:07
04. 10. 2019 20:07 CET
9 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): It was difficult. I feel like I am getting more and more confident and this stage I enjoyed driving.
04. 10. 2019 19:03
04. 10. 2019 20:03 CET
9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): What can you do? When somebody at the front gets full daylight and you have to try and judge the grip in the dark, it's impossible.
04. 10. 2019 18:58
04. 10. 2019 19:58 CET
9 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): That was extremely challenging. In the dark, it is so difficult to see so hopefully I didn't lose too much time.
04. 10. 2019 18:55
04. 10. 2019 19:55 CET
9 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): Let's see. That was quite good and there is a lot more consistent grip this evening. The roads seem to be a bit better on the second pass but we still have to keep our guard.
04. 10. 2019 18:55
04. 10. 2019 19:55 CET
9 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): It was very difficult as predicted, but we had an okay run. I was a bit careful in the slippery part but it could sometimes catch you out. I thought I had grip but then I would lose it.
04. 10. 2019 18:53
04. 10. 2019 19:53 CET
9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It's a tricky stage and it is getting quite dark. Ott is six-minutes in front on the road and I guess the visibility for him was much better. It is difficult to judge how much to push in there, I was also on three soft tyres and it may have been a bit rough for them.
04. 10. 2019 18:48
04. 10. 2019 19:48 CET
9 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was okay but I didn't trust the grip enough. It's always a tricky stage in the dark so we will have to survive the next one.

04. 10. 2019 16:27 CET
7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I can't really attack. I have to be very clean to go fast and in these conditions you have to push very hard. We are trying to find grip that we are missing, but on the other hand I need some protection.
04. 10. 2019 15:27
04. 10. 2019 16:27 CET
7 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Another good stage. I am happy but it is more difficult than this morning! The grip is higher but there are some ruts and bumps, so it is not easy.

04. 10. 2019 15:01
04. 10. 2019 16:01 CET
6 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I really struggled to see in there to be honest. I was holding the wipers on until the water was coming but there was very little water spraying out.

04. 10. 2019 16:01 CET
6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It feels okay but we had a puncture on the rear and I tried to manage it a little bit. I could have gone better but we were unlucky.

04. 10. 2019 15:56 CET
6 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's good - the first time during the day that we are in front of him. It's tough to be honest, it's rough and we had quite a few impacts so I was not completely comfortable.

4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's changed a lot - it's pretty slippy out there now. It's difficult to say whether we had a good run, in some places we were a bit careful and in others we were sliding a lot. It's a difficult balance to find now that the surface is polished.

04. 10. 2019 11:01
04. 10. 2019 12:01 CET
4 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I had a spin at a hairpin and lost around 3-seconds. A tricky stage - I don't know whether my soft tyres were the best choice for that.
04. 10. 2019 11:01
04. 10. 2019 12:01 CET
4 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): The last part was really incredible, even on the straights a low speed, the car wanted to go sideways. A big challenge.
04. 10. 2019 11:00
04. 10. 2019 12:00 CET
4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The car felt okay in the stage. The speed is higher so we have more energy to put the car sideways but it was a tricky stage. There were some really really slippery places towards the end and it was very easy to go off.
04. 10. 2019 10:59
04. 10. 2019 11:59 CET
4 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): A lot of standing water in there so there was a bit of aquaplaning in there.

04. 10. 2019 11:58 CET
4 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was tricky with some muddy and slushy places. It's nice to get to the end of this one. The first stage was difficult but now we have managed to improve the car a bit. For sure, we can improve it further in service but for now it is okay.

1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I had a good stage. It was very tricky and there were some surprises. The softer tyres would have worked better before but we had to have a compromise. It's a very nice place and there are lots of spectators so it was a good reason to come here! We can only try: we have a good feeling with the car and we are going to try to improve the rhythm and setup tomorrow to be on the pace.

1 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): Very difficult but we already knew that it was going to be slippery. It's an important weekend for sure. Every rally is important but when we are getting to the end of the season we do not want to lose any points.

1 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): That was tricky - really tricky! In these conditions on a race circuit, it was like ice. There's no points for today, so let's try and have a good weekend.

1 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I forgot to push the screen heater on! At the watersplash I lost the visibility and went wide into the field - for sure we lost time.

1 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was extremely slippery, especially as we had mediums. I made some mistakes and my tyre choice was terrible. Shakedown was pretty good and tomorrow the real rally starts so we need to find a good rhythm.

1 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I can't judge the car here - there is no grip! I just tried to be very slow and short distance but it feels horrible! There are a lot of surprises coming tomorrow but the stages are nice, so I think I will enjoy it.

1 flash info (55 - Solberg Petter / Mills Phil): That was tricky but the handbrake, even when it was off it was still on! The car didn't work for the first 100m, but after that it was okay. It was good fun and tricky in the dark and the last section was especially tricky.

1 flash info (54 - Solberg Oliver / Johnston Aaron): The whole windscreen has fogged! I didn't see anything so I almost stopped for the hairpin near the end! Ahhh - unbelievable! No no no...
