Information

Date and time SS Information
15. 08. 2021 14:40 CET 20 retired (72 - Janssens Glenn / Prévot Stéphane): retired in SS 20
15. 08. 2021 13:30 CET 20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I mean, we had a lot of pressure coming here, but I felt quite comfortable all the weekend and I could rely on my team and the car. It was a pleasure for me to give this first win to Martijn here in Belgium. It should have come earlier, but we were unlucky. It feels good here now.
15. 08. 2021 13:15 CET 20 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): All the ingredients are around us. It's just a pleasure to drive one of these cars, I know I always bang on about it. Thanks to everybody for a top job this weekend. I've enjoyed every second of it.
15. 08. 2021 13:09 CET 20 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I am feeling really good. We can clearly see that there are two guys who have done the event before and they were really fast. But I am really proud that we could be the best of the guys who were here for the first time.
15. 08. 2021 13:09 CET 20 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Disappointed, of course. There was a big battle all the way through, but today it didn't work out. I was trying, but I just couldn't deliver the times today. We obviously need to have a look at why there was a big drop today, but it's not ideal.
15. 08. 2021 13:08 CET 20 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I don't know if it's work that we need to plan. For sure, we have been quite unlucky with the conditions of the roads and I didn't expect it to be so tough. The setup was not the best at the start of the rally, but we came away from here with some more points which is good.
15. 08. 2021 13:08 CET 20 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's quite complicated. It's tough, but that's like it is.
15. 08. 2021 13:08 CET 20 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): It wasn't a good weekend for sure. My mistake this time. It was hard to find a rhythm after that, just not really being quite where I wanted to be. The car's in one piece, and we managed to learn the conditions which is nice.
15. 08. 2021 13:08 CET 20 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Haut-Labourdette Florian): I don't know, I didn't touch anything. I have no idea.
15. 08. 2021 13:07 CET 20 (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Haut-Labourdette Florian): puncture
15. 08. 2021 13:07 CET 20 flash info (25 - Rossel Yohan / Coria Alexandre): Honestly, I feel like I have just won the world. I want to thank my team and my co-driver Alex, it was an amazing weekend for me and for the championship. It's a good result.
15. 08. 2021 13:07 CET 20 flash info (39 - Cracco Pieter-Jan-Michiel / Vermeulen Jasper): Very special. I really wish my father was here - he passed away last year. He was a big rally fan and it would have been very good for him to see this.
15. 08. 2021 13:06 CET 20 flash info (37 - Verschueren Vincent / Cuvelier Filip): It's very nice. I didn't need to push anymore, but just for fun it was so nice. It was a very good weekend for us. We made some nice steps and we're happy to be on the finish.
15. 08. 2021 13:06 CET 20 flash info (21 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): Not an easy rally and it didn't go how we wanted, but I am happy that the car is here. It's sad for Oliver, but I am happy we are here.
15. 08. 2021 13:06 CET 20 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): There was a reason - I can't tell you, I'm sorry, Okay, we are here and it was important to make the finish.
15. 08. 2021 13:05 CET 20 Starting order: Gryazin, Huttunen, Verschueren, Cracco, Rossel, Loubet, Greensmith, Tänak, Ogier, Evans, Rovanperä, Breen, Neuville
15. 08. 2021 14:27 CET 19 retired (112 - Muylle Jo / Vynckier Mathieu): maximum lateness exceeded in TC 19A
15. 08. 2021 13:04 CET 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's one more stage to go, and I am looking forward to that one. It's going to be a tough one, but I hope we can secure the first win for us together this season. To do that in Belgium would be really nice.
15. 08. 2021 13:04 CET 19 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I was trying to back off everywhere and be as neat and tidy as we could. One more to go.
15. 08. 2021 13:03 CET 19 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We have to just go as hard as we can in the power stage. Disappointed obviously to lose that again.
15. 08. 2021 13:03 CET 19 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I started to have quite a lot of understeer, much more than the first pass. It was not such a clean run, so I'm not happy.
15. 08. 2021 13:03 CET 19 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): For sure we have to try and finish this rally well. It was not such an easy weekend so far.
15. 08. 2021 13:03 CET 19 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): These ones are quite tricky. Generally it has been quite nice with the stages all very compact and close to each other.
15. 08. 2021 13:02 CET 19 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): I think the only reason we went a little bit quicker is because the road is a lot dirtier than it was this morning. I think after my Friday exit I'll just make sure the car comes home in one piece.
15. 08. 2021 13:02 CET 19 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Haut-Labourdette Florian): It was good. To finish on such an amazing track is enjoyable.
15. 08. 2021 13:12 CET 18 retired (119 - O’Sullivan Niall / O’Brien James): retired in SS 18
15. 08. 2021 13:02 CET 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I tried to avoid the cuts and the stones. I had a clean run through, but I was quite careful.
15. 08. 2021 13:02 CET 18 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I'm very happy to do a clean stage. That was very silly what I did this morning, I should have been so much more alert there, but we survived.
15. 08. 2021 13:01 CET 18 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Nothing in particular, I was just too wild in the previous one and tried to tidy it up, but obviously not pushing hard enough now. We'll keep going.
15. 08. 2021 13:01 CET 18 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was quite good. A really difficult stage, but I just tried to be clean. Let's see what Elfyn does, but I think for me it was a quite okay run.
15. 08. 2021 13:01 CET 18 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We will see. Unfortunately, I had a puncture on the first one, and now we have to focus on the power stage. It's a special place - of course on the track it's a bit slow with this kind of car, but it's nice to be here.
15. 08. 2021 13:01 CET 18 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): To drive in this place would be on the bucket list, but I would say in something with 500 more horsepower would be a bit better.
15. 08. 2021 13:00 CET 18 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): It was very tricky. I was very, very cautious, but again, there was a lot of pollution on the road, so you've got to be careful in there.
15. 08. 2021 13:00 CET 18 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Haut-Labourdette Florian): At the beginning it's going to be tricky. You have a lot of mud parts, so even when you are on the road it's quite slippery. Very nice.
15. 08. 2021 12:59 CET 18 Start was delayed for 20 minutes due to the spectators.
15. 08. 2021 13:12 CET 17 retired (111 - Verlinde Koen / Vandemoortele Marc): retired in SS 17
15. 08. 2021 13:12 CET 17 retired (24 - Solberg Oliver / Johnston Aaron): retired before SS 17
15. 08. 2021 13:11 CET 17 retired (78 - Desmet Robbert / Vanoverschelde Jens): retired before SS 17
15. 08. 2021 13:11 CET 17 retired (75 - Muylle Wouter / Lenoir Dieter): retired before SS 17
15. 08. 2021 13:10 CET 17 retired (63 - Stampaert Nicola / Doublet Christophe): retired before SS 17
15. 08. 2021 12:57 CET 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The feeling is good, the car is working fine. I loved the bit on the circuit - the grip was quite high, and it was enjoyable to drive.
15. 08. 2021 12:57 CET 17 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I just got caught out - we have to be very careful.
15. 08. 2021 12:57 CET 17 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I had a bit of a moment at the start and lost my momentum. A bit tricky on the circuit, I was not able to lean so much on the car. Not easy.
15. 08. 2021 12:56 CET 17 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's still not too much. Let's see what we can do compared to Elfyn. I tried to drive well, it was quite a tricky stage, but I think it's quite okay.
15. 08. 2021 12:56 CET 17 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): A lot of time lost. There was a section which was much narrower in recce. They resurfaced it and made it wider, so it was hard to estimate. I went slightly wide.
15. 08. 2021 12:56 CET 17 (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): puncture
15. 08. 2021 12:56 CET 17 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's about doing our job, and doing our job is driving.
15. 08. 2021 12:55 CET 17 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): Pouhon's not flat in these WRC cars! It was a nice little stage to be fair, I enjoyed that one.
15. 08. 2021 12:55 CET 17 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Haut-Labourdette Florian): It's an amazing place, so I am really happy to be able to continue today.
14. 08. 2021 21:28 CET 16 retired (90 - Vanton Laurent / Delvaux Laurent): retired after SS 16
14. 08. 2021 17:38 CET 16 flash info (24 - Solberg Oliver / Johnston Aaron): I have done 85km without power steering now, and I tell you, it's absolutely crazy. The junctions are the worst! It's extremely hard, I have to say. It's a shame we lost a good position in the overall standings, but the main thing is for Hyundai to be in a good position in WRC2, and we are leading it.
14. 08. 2021 17:38 CET 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Pleased to finish the day. We knew it was going to be a challenging day and there is one more to come tomorrow in a different area. The car is working well and I am happy with the performance so far. Of course, it's always nice when you go flat-out, but we need to manage it and we need to be clever.
14. 08. 2021 17:37 CET 16 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's been a nice day. A little bit sad this is the end of this part of the rally, but it's a new day tomorrow. Lots of kilometres and some new stages, but I am super happy with my performance. We've taken another big step.
14. 08. 2021 17:37 CET 16 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was still good to do all the day. It's a new rally and I need to learn the stages. That's the best we can do at the moment.
14. 08. 2021 17:37 CET 16 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I am not giving up that easily. The weather [tomorrow] will be tricky and the stages are completely different to what we have here. Let's see, it's going to be tight.
14. 08. 2021 17:36 CET 16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We almost did the same yesterday. I think we were closer to him in general, it's just a shame we had one really bad one. It's close.
14. 08. 2021 17:36 CET 16 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I am pleased. It's just frustrating to see we lose so much on the first pass. The grip is so low on the first pass that I can not do anything. When I have a bit of grip on the second pass I enjoy it much more.
14. 08. 2021 17:36 CET 16 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): Just can't get stage mode. All the buttons seem to be working, just not the important one! I'm not sure, but we're at the end of the day now.
14. 08. 2021 21:27 CET 15 retired (63 - Stampaert Nicola / Doublet Christophe): retired in SS 15
14. 08. 2021 21:27 CET 15 Stage was cancelled.
14. 08. 2021 21:26 CET 15 Stage was stopped because of crash st.no. 107.
14. 08. 2021 21:25 CET 15 retired (107 - Delplace Matthias / Sohier Thomas): accident in SS 15
14. 08. 2021 21:25 CET 15 retired (71 - Syx Bjorn / Vanrobaeys Ari): retired after SS 15
14. 08. 2021 16:33 CET 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The Toyotas are in a big fight between themselves, but we have to control the speed. I had another clean run.
14. 08. 2021 16:32 CET 15 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Toyota are obviously fighting their own battle between themselves now, so it's hugely important that we keep it on the road now. It's a good rhythm.
14. 08. 2021 16:32 CET 15 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): All okay...
14. 08. 2021 16:32 CET 15 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was quite clean, but it was quite slippery with a lot of gravel in a few places. I was not daring enough I think.
14. 08. 2021 16:32 CET 15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We had a moment actually in quite a fast place. It just stepped out on a bit of gravel and took quite a bit of hanging on to.
14. 08. 2021 16:31 CET 15 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's okay. I think the afternoon loop is going well. When I have grip, I enjoy much more!
14. 08. 2021 16:31 CET 15 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): We clipped something halfway through the stage and I was asking Chris about what I'd hit.
14. 08. 2021 16:31 CET 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): This one was a little more dirty, but I had a clean run through. We did some changes on the car in service, and I did some adaptations now before this one to get a little bit more grip. It seems to be working better.
14. 08. 2021 16:31 CET 14 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Of course, the main target is to bring the two cars home. But the other side is saying that Dikkebus is a stage I've done so many times and I don't know whether we'll be back here again. I've got a big PlayStation in front of me, and I'm just trying to enjoy it.
14. 08. 2021 16:30 CET 14 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The stages are nice, especially the second loop with the tyre grip. For sure, it's more enjoyable.
14. 08. 2021 16:30 CET 14 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's a nice fight between us three. Everybody is really close all the time, so I am just enjoying the fight. It's going quite well.
14. 08. 2021 16:30 CET 14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I didn't have a great stage. I lost some time on the first corner when I went a bit wide.
14. 08. 2021 16:29 CET 14 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I keep the same. For sure, the conditions are better than the morning. This one I am not so sure what the time is going to be.
14. 08. 2021 16:29 CET 14 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): I made some changes at service and they seemed to be better. On one of the jumps, I don't know what came in the car, but it seemed like sparks!
14. 08. 2021 17:40 CET 13 retired (77 - Verbeke Alexandre / Boterman Rudi): retired after SS 13
14. 08. 2021 15:06 CET 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): A good clean run. I really enjoyed it because I don't need to take any risks. We need to control the speed and the only thing that's important is to get big manufacturers' points from the weekend.
14. 08. 2021 15:06 CET 13 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's tricky. I'm just trying not to make any mistakes, and keeping the car on the road is a difficult task in its own right. We'll get through.
14. 08. 2021 15:05 CET 13 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I have no idea why I am losing so much. The feeling was good and I can not do much more.
14. 08. 2021 15:05 CET 13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm just focussing on doing the best job we can.
14. 08. 2021 15:05 CET 13 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I tried to drive well. This morning I was not happy with my pace, but now the road conditions are better, and I had a good stage. Let's see what happens.
14. 08. 2021 15:05 CET 13 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): It's not really like running first on the road anywhere else. There's a very fine layer of dust which does kill the grip, but the grip was much better.
14. 08. 2021 16:41 CET 12 retired (20 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): retired after SS 12
14. 08. 2021 14:14 CET 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Happy, but the afternoon will be as difficult, if not even more difficult with all the gravel. We are following our plan. I felt a little more comfortable because the grip was more constant. We are going to do some small changes for the afternoon loop and carry on.
14. 08. 2021 14:14 CET 12 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I was very cautious at the start of the stage. Last time I was driving around kerbs I took a wheel off. We're just towing the party line now.
14. 08. 2021 14:13 CET 12 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Every stage you do is a stage to learn more. You get the knowledge, but to get the knowledge you need to do the stages.
14. 08. 2021 14:13 CET 12 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I tried to push a bit, but the feeling was not so good. On the last junction before the finish I lost maybe 1sec going wide, but otherwise it was good.
14. 08. 2021 14:13 CET 12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was alright, but it’s a difficult little stage. There's a few places where I just hesitated and that cost a lot down the straights.
14. 08. 2021 14:13 CET 12 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Not too bad, but still missing a little bit. Not a great start position for me, and we missed one stage also. We will have to see what we can do this afternoon.
14. 08. 2021 14:13 CET 12 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): We had the issues all morning. We swapped things around then and I could hear Chris but he couldn't hear me.
14. 08. 2021 14:12 CET 11 flash info (24 - Solberg Oliver / Johnston Aaron): I need to train my arms! Okay, we just have to survive.
14. 08. 2021 14:12 CET 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We will continue in our rhythm. So far the feeling is okay, so we need to carry on.
14. 08. 2021 14:12 CET 11 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Quite okay. Lots of gravel in places and I think it was getting worse with every car, but we're still here and still in the fight.
14. 08. 2021 14:12 CET 11 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): If you want to stay alive, you need to be focussed. The stages are fast and bumpy and tricky.
14. 08. 2021 14:11 CET 11 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was just a tricky stage. I tried to push, but there is many tricky places, so I tried to be wise also and not take any huge risks. Not a good stage for us.
14. 08. 2021 14:11 CET 11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The feeling was okay. A bit more bumpy than expected and I was caught out a little by the car bottoming out quite a lot.
14. 08. 2021 14:11 CET 11 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's been a difficult start to this one for me. We had cold tyres after waiting for a few minutes and the start and it's very fast.
14. 08. 2021 14:08 CET 11 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): I had intercom issues all morning. We had to drive safely but I can't hear anything.
14. 08. 2021 14:19 CET 10 retired (64 - D’Hondt Jimmy / Vanrijkelen David): retired in SS 10
14. 08. 2021 14:18 CET 10 retired (55 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): retired in SS 10
14. 08. 2021 14:14 CET 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Williams Keaton): At the beginning of the stage, there was a high-speed corner and some bumps. We knew this would be a bad corner, but at the same time you can go pretty high-speed because the angle is not so tight. I took it flat, and when I landed I couldn't turn because of some kick-back I felt from the steering. I went wide and there was a big ditch. In this rally there is no chance to make this kind of mistake.
14. 08. 2021 14:04 CET 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The gap is not the issue. The main gap we have to look at is the gap behind Craig. I am maybe avoiding the cuts a little bit too much because I am really afraid about the punctures.
14. 08. 2021 14:04 CET 10 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It was tricky, but I really enjoyed that stage. Dikkebus is the epiphany of the Ypres Rally, so I enjoyed that one and had a nice rhythm.
14. 08. 2021 14:04 CET 10 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Generally it's nothing new. It's just about learning now.
14. 08. 2021 14:03 CET 10 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was difficult to start with the cold tyres. I think this stage was quite tricky with a lot of grip changing, but it was an okay run.
14. 08. 2021 14:03 CET 10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Tricky. It was difficult to get the rhythm with the cold tyres. Quite a lot of bumps and there.
14. 08. 2021 14:02 CET 10 Stage continues.
14. 08. 2021 14:00 CET 10 Stage is stopped and red-flagged, electrical pole is blocking the road.
14. 08. 2021 14:00 CET 10 retired (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Williams Keaton): accident in SS 10

14. 08. 2021 13:57 CET 9 (24 - Solberg Oliver / Johnston Aaron): problems with powersteering
14. 08. 2021 13:56 CET 9 (21 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): double puncture
14. 08. 2021 13:56 CET 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I was happy with my performance, The road was quite slippery, and I didn't take any risks. I had a clean run through, but the road is getting quite dirty as well with a lot of leaves on the road.
14. 08. 2021 13:56 CET 9 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): When the wheels were turned I just clipped something. Then the jack was broken, and we couldn't change.
14. 08. 2021 13:55 CET 9 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): He physically wasn't in front of me for a long time, but he was flicking up all the dust in the road.
14. 08. 2021 13:55 CET 9 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): puncture
14. 08. 2021 13:55 CET 9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been okay. Still struggling a bit in the junctions to be honest, but otherwise it's okay.
14. 08. 2021 13:54 CET 9 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The only thing I can do is try. The feeling was not too bad. Unfortunately Loubet is in a ditch already - I would like to have had more cars in front because we know how much we struggled yesterday.
14. 08. 2021 13:54 CET 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Williams Keaton): He went off after a tight corner. The conditions are very tricky - some Tarmac has no grip at all. I think it's going to be another big day.
14. 08. 2021 13:53 CET 9 retired (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Haut-Labourdette Florian): accident in SS 9
13. 08. 2021 21:01 CET 8 Stage was cancelled for safety reasons.

13. 08. 2021 21:01 CET 7 flash info (24 - Solberg Oliver / Johnston Aaron): I pushed like hell in there. It was my best stage on Tarmac ever. It's not too bad.
13. 08. 2021 21:01 CET 7 (21 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): puncture
13. 08. 2021 21:00 CET 7 (20 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): puncture
13. 08. 2021 20:26 CET 7 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I thought I had a good stage. I'm trying the best with what I've got now, and I guess compared to the others it's not terrible.
13. 08. 2021 20:26 CET 7 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I am low on boost, so just lacking general power.
13. 08. 2021 20:26 CET 7 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I am driving quite well, I don't really know so much how to take the time out. Let's see what we can do, I will try to push a bit.
13. 08. 2021 20:25 CET 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Another clean run to be honest. I tried to follow the road and stay in the clean line. There were no surprises for me so far, and hopefully it's going to stay like this. Hopefully we can do the next one in the daylight.
13. 08. 2021 20:25 CET 7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Quite okay this afternoon, I would say better than this morning. The times are just not coming, so we need to look into that.
13. 08. 2021 20:25 CET 7 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): In some places, it's shiny in the road, and you have very low sun. It's okay and it was not disturbing me too much. The grip for me the whole afternoon feels higher, so I hope we can keep improving.
13. 08. 2021 21:43 CET 6 retired (74 - Soenens Wim / Blondeel Frank): retired after SS 6
13. 08. 2021 21:42 CET 6 retired (80 - Dolfen Steven / Pierpont Niels): retired in SS 6
13. 08. 2021 19:39 CET 6 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I enjoyed the stage. I tried to brake a little bit later here and there, but our run the first time was perfect. Just trying not to make any mistakes, and we'll see what we can do
13. 08. 2021 19:39 CET 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Williams Keaton): I think everything is working well. The problem is my confidence a bit. I am taking care too much, but it’s okay on this kind of rally to take it step-by-step.
13. 08. 2021 19:39 CET 6 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We have some issue with the engine, so we are trying to get through. Luckily it's driving okay, so it's not so bad.
13. 08. 2021 19:38 CET 6 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's nice. Many places are cleaner now and the grip is higher. That was quite a good stage for me, I can not take much more out of it.
13. 08. 2021 19:38 CET 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Some places there is a little more grip than this morning, but generally I had an okay stage. I could have been a bit later on the brakes and maybe more aggressive in the junctions, but it's working like this. There's no need to push more.
13. 08. 2021 19:38 CET 6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I also thought I had a really good run. My feelings are obviously lying to me!
13. 08. 2021 19:38 CET 5 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Haut-Labourdette Florian): I think in the fast section, I hit something, but it was on the line.
13. 08. 2021 19:37 CET 5 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): That's the trickiest stage for me. So many concrete lips everywhere, and I was for sure dropping a lot of time. I like the next two.
13. 08. 2021 19:37 CET 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Williams Keaton): The gravel crew have been a big help and our relationship is very good, so I can trust them. After Croatia we had a meeting and it's getting and better each rally.
13. 08. 2021 19:37 CET 5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I have no grip, so we are struggling a bit.
13. 08. 2021 19:36 CET 5 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I was still lacking a bit. In the beginning I was too careful.
13. 08. 2021 19:36 CET 5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We're trying. It's still very difficult. The grip is higher in some places, and in other places worse where you have more gravel.
13. 08. 2021 19:36 CET 5 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We are trying things. The grip is definitely better for me and in general I see the dust is going away. I have to get the feeling, so let's see what we can do.
13. 08. 2021 19:41 CET 4 retired (92 - Noyelle Damon / Vanhoutte Jeroen): retired after SS 4
13. 08. 2021 19:41 CET 4 retired (98 - Wostyn Ruben / Ramboer Steven): retired after SS 4
13. 08. 2021 16:48 CET 4 retired (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): accident in SS 4
13. 08. 2021 16:46 CET 4 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): That was the worst stage of the loop for me. I took some silly references from the R5 car and you need to be much more confident with the aero in some places. It was a nice first loop.
13. 08. 2021 16:46 CET 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Williams Keaton): It has been okay. We didn't have any big mistakes. A bit frustrating about the times, but it comes by experience so it's okay.
13. 08. 2021 16:45 CET 4 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The long stages are quite demanding and in places it is difficult to know where you need to drive and find the junctions. I am quite happy we are here, but it's a challenge to be here the first time.
13. 08. 2021 16:45 CET 4 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I lost too much time in the beginning again, so I am not happy for that, but let's try to improve for the afternoon.
13. 08. 2021 16:45 CET 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Very good loop for us. Everything is under control. We could go faster, but there is no need yet - I just want to keep it smooth and clean and enjoy it.
13. 08. 2021 16:45 CET 4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not a lot better to be honest. It's difficult to be very comfortable everywhere - the grip is quite unknown and there's a lot happening. It's not been an easy start, but we'll keep trying.
13. 08. 2021 16:44 CET 4 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It hasn't been a very beautiful start for us. I didn't expect to suffer that much being first on the road, but it’s very, very low grip and I struggled to go fast. We have to try and find some solution.
13. 08. 2021 15:25 CET 4 Start of stage will be delayed for 7 minutes.

13. 08. 2021 15:56 CET 3 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): It was a lot smoother. I made some set-up stages which made the car easier to drive. It will be going really well, but then I give away shed loads of seconds with hesitation, so I need to sort that out.
13. 08. 2021 15:54 CET 3 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I didn't think I had a good run. I just tried to be so clean - the last time I was here was in 2013 and 2014. I was just trying to remember where the grip is and where it isn't. So much fun, it's amazing.
13. 08. 2021 15:51 CET 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Williams Keaton): Tyre choice was not a big issue. For me, they are really hard stages and gravel is coming more. In some corners I am not sure on the level of grip.
13. 08. 2021 15:47 CET 3 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was a clean rhythm. It's difficult and slippery in places, so we are careful.
13. 08. 2021 15:47 CET 3 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I have no idea. The driving is quite good. I think in many places I am on the limit of the grip, but from the pace notes it is difficult. This one I am not too happy with.
13. 08. 2021 15:40 CET 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The car is working quite nice. This one is a little trickier, a few grip changes which even I didn't have in my pace notes. The rally is long and we all know how tricky Ypres can be.
13. 08. 2021 15:40 CET 3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I didn't feel so comfortable in there. Not ideal.
13. 08. 2021 15:40 CET 3 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Not too long, only a few kilometres. It's a lottery.
13. 08. 2021 15:25 CET 3 Start of stage will be delayed for 4 minutes.
13. 08. 2021 15:08 CET 2 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Haut-Labourdette Florian): I missed the junction. I braked too late on a long left and went straight. It's my mistake, sorry.
13. 08. 2021 15:08 CET 2 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): The first stage was really dirty in the corners, but this one was more clean. I was maybe over-driving on the first one, so I just want to improve and go on the pace.
13. 08. 2021 15:03 CET 2 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): That felt pretty smooth in there. Not really taking any risks because there are quite a lot of places to make mistakes.
13. 08. 2021 14:56 CET 2 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I didn't forget how to drive on the black stuff! I love it!
13. 08. 2021 14:55 CET 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Williams Keaton): It's okay, just taking it quite carefully because they are very tricky stages with a lot of corners.
13. 08. 2021 14:55 CET 2 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Everything is okay. It was slippery in one place, so I missed one junction and I really struggled with the rhythm after that.
13. 08. 2021 14:55 CET 2 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's tricky. It feels that we don't have too much grip, and we are sliding a lot.
13. 08. 2021 14:46 CET 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The conditions are a little bit different. There was dust in some places, but I had a good clean run. I just want to keep a good rhythm. I was fighting like hell with my glasses - they were slipping all the time! I need to correct that for the next stage.
13. 08. 2021 14:45 CET 2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): If you know these stages, it can make a big difference. It's not just down to that, I seemed to have a pretty decent run, but there are still places I could do better.
13. 08. 2021 14:45 CET 2 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): A more clean drive, but the grip is very, very low. A lot of dust on the road, so I really struggled to go faster.
13. 08. 2021 15:47 CET 1 retired (43 - Bouillon Harry / Antoine Grégory): accident in SS 1
13. 08. 2021 14:15 CET 1 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Haut-Labourdette Florian): It's okay. We did a small mistake at the first junction, and it's still a long weekend.
13. 08. 2021 14:12 CET 1 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): I am enjoying, but the road is already really dirty. It's very tricky. The time will be not nice, but we will do our best.
13. 08. 2021 14:09 CET 1 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): It's okay. A bit dirty in places, but generally it's not too bad.
13. 08. 2021 14:07 CET 1 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I had a huge bang on a concrete lip that I tried to drive around, and it dropped the rhythm because I was sure I had a puncture. Apart from that it was quite nice.
13. 08. 2021 14:03 CET 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Williams Keaton): It's very tricky and demanding. I really need to get the feeling and experience, otherwise it's easy to go off. To see the time is a bit frustrating because we made no mistakes, but I will try to enjoy and work step-by-step.
13. 08. 2021 14:03 CET 1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was a very clean run. There is a lot of dirt coming on the road, some places more than expected, but the car is behaving nice.
13. 08. 2021 13:57 CET 1 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I am happy. Really difficult to be honest, you have to trust the pace notes so much and it's really difficult to remember the stages when you come the first time. I think it was quite a clean run.
13. 08. 2021 13:54 CET 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I wanted to do a first clean stage without any mistakes, and we got cleanly through. I am just driving through and trying to keep it in a clean line. The junctions are already getting quite dirty, so the grip is low in some places. I had a good feeling, and we are feeling comfortable.
13. 08. 2021 13:51 CET 1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's okay. The grip was a bit better than shakedown, but still quite slippery in some of the junctions.
13. 08. 2021 13:46 CET 1 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Not a very clean stage for us. A couple of small mistakes, and it's very slippery already. Not easy.
13. 08. 2021 13:30 CET 1 Weather in Ypres is semi-cloudy, temperature is 22°C.
