16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It has been a tough season so far and to get the victory after a very difficult weekend in Belgium is a relief. The most important thing is we have a 1-2-3 for the team - after all these years we finally got it and it's a historical moment for the brand and the team. Everybody has worked hard for this and it's a nice reward.
11. 09. 2022 14:26
11. 09. 2022 13:26 CET
16 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): If you want to fight for a championship, the decision to have no team orders was wrong. If you want to have good PR, it's a good decision. It depends how you look at it. It's a shame - all of Friday we were carrying a hybrid issue.
11. 09. 2022 14:26
11. 09. 2022 13:26 CET
16 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): This time was lucky because everybody retired! I am happy for the team. If we can finish 1-2-3 it will be nice because they really deserve it. We had some really bad moments in the beginning and the people back in the factory really deserve this result.
11. 09. 2022 14:26
11. 09. 2022 13:26 CET
16 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It's a big step this weekend. I think everybody will learn a lot during the season and we have progressed quite well. Big thanks to the team - they did such an amazing job on my car all weekend.
11. 09. 2022 14:25
11. 09. 2022 13:25 CET
16 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): The last part of the stage was incredibly rough and I struggled in some places. Our speed has been good and from our side we haven't made any mistakes. I'm gutted about what happened on Friday but that's how the cards were dealt to us this time.
11. 09. 2022 14:25
11. 09. 2022 13:25 CET
16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We had an issue before the stage and I completely lost my concentration. I was looking at the dashboard and I went a bit wide. We had quite a mess of a weekend. For the next one we need to find the confidence again.
11. 09. 2022 14:25
11. 09. 2022 13:25 CET
16 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): puncture
11. 09. 2022 14:24
11. 09. 2022 13:24 CET
16 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I don't think it's going to be the fastest time. I had to push everywhere in the rough parts, but I tried, so let's see what happens. I have done many good and bad weekends but this is one of the worst ones.
11. 09. 2022 14:24
11. 09. 2022 13:24 CET
16 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Now it's time to go back with the loved ones. There has been some sickness this week as well so I want to go home and hug them all.
11. 09. 2022 14:24
11. 09. 2022 13:24 CET
16 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The lines were quite narrow, even with a few cars ahead of us. The road is going to keep getting faster and faster but I gave it a good shot, so let's see.
11. 09. 2022 14:24
11. 09. 2022 13:24 CET
16 flash info (25 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): This win came by our pace and I am so happy, honestly. I knew when we came here that it could be a good rally for us, but there are always question marks and lots of risks. We really managed it well and I am very grateful to the team for providing us with a car which could survive in these conditions.
11. 09. 2022 14:23
11. 09. 2022 13:23 CET
16 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Rossel rolled? I think he saved my life, because I saw the triangle and tried to do the hairpin more safe! I didn't take any risks here because it was really rough towards the end.

11. 09. 2022 13:20 CET
15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): One stage left and it's going to be a tough one. Nothing is done yet but we are going to have a steady run.
11. 09. 2022 14:20
11. 09. 2022 13:20 CET
15 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I know. Before this stage we were told to hold the position, so no more pushing.
11. 09. 2022 14:20
11. 09. 2022 13:20 CET
15 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): After Evans retired it's a really different prospect. I was really slow in here - I want to bring the car to the end of the rally and that's it.
11. 09. 2022 14:20
11. 09. 2022 13:20 CET
15 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): We took it very carefully in this one. The target is to finish and that's what I am concentrating on.
11. 09. 2022 14:19
11. 09. 2022 13:19 CET
15 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's nice. The car feels good and I'd love to be in the heat of a battle fighting because we definitely have the tools to do it.
11. 09. 2022 14:19
11. 09. 2022 13:19 CET
15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): After the last one we changed a few things and it felt so much better. It's still challenging so now I just to focus on the Power Stage and bring the car home.
11. 09. 2022 14:19
11. 09. 2022 13:19 CET
15 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I think we have been in survival mode since yesterday. There is not much we can do in this situation and the goal is to finish now.
11. 09. 2022 14:18
11. 09. 2022 13:18 CET
15 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I wasn't expecting the Power Stage to get much quicker, but this one here will clean even more. Quite slippy.
11. 09. 2022 14:18
11. 09. 2022 13:18 CET
15 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Horrendously loose in there. I wasn't going anywhere for the majority of the stage and I was short-shifting up to fourth to try and gain some traction.
11. 09. 2022 14:28
11. 09. 2022 13:28 CET
14 retired (72 - Campagnoli Gabriele / Arena Nicola): retired in SS 14
11. 09. 2022 14:18
11. 09. 2022 13:18 CET
14 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was a push. We know it's probably not enough, but we will keep pushing. We can only do our very best at the moment.
11. 09. 2022 14:18
11. 09. 2022 13:18 CET
14 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I am really disappointed for Evans. He had an issue with the car I think. For us, it's a little easier now. I am sure Elfyn would have put us under pressure to take this place, but rally is sometimes like this and it's not far. Anyway, we are happy from our side.
11. 09. 2022 14:17
11. 09. 2022 13:17 CET
14 retired (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): technical problem - turbo before SS 14
11. 09. 2022 14:17
11. 09. 2022 13:17 CET
14 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): We did a good stage with no mistakes, so it's fine. It's not easy and the road is already rough.
11. 09. 2022 14:16
11. 09. 2022 13:16 CET
14 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's easy when you have a decent road position! The car feels amazing - which makes it a bit more frustrating this morning!
11. 09. 2022 14:16
11. 09. 2022 13:16 CET
14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I wanted to have a new day, but it feels very difficult. It's not easy. We made some changes but it's still difficult.
11. 09. 2022 14:15
11. 09. 2022 13:15 CET
14 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Really slim chances for power stage points, or none. Let's see. There's no pace to do anything else.
11. 09. 2022 14:15
11. 09. 2022 13:15 CET
14 (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Stopped on the road section a few kilometres before the stage. There's a problem with his Yaris and the Welshman is trying to fix it.
11. 09. 2022 14:15
11. 09. 2022 13:15 CET
14 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Pretty good. I am very happy. The conditions are pretty normal with no surprises. It's all okay.
11. 09. 2022 14:15
11. 09. 2022 13:15 CET
14 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The issue we had meant we couldn't run the engine and the guys changed a lot of parts to get us back today. It's a learning day, so we can enjoy that.

10. 09. 2022 17:54 CET
13 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I was very careful and I didn't take any risks to finish the day. It was important to come back in this position. The team did an amazing job in service because they changed the gearbox and diff, so thank you to them.
10. 09. 2022 18:53
10. 09. 2022 17:53 CET
13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It has been a great day for us. A bit of a hard one this afternoon with some trouble with the car, but we survived and we are here now. We had a warning for battery voltage, but it seems okay. My tyres weren't so good on the last few stages and I was just trying to drive clean to avoid punctures.
10. 09. 2022 18:53
10. 09. 2022 17:53 CET
13 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was difficult. We need to protect the position of the two cars in front in case something happens.
10. 09. 2022 18:53
10. 09. 2022 17:53 CET
13 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We are here. Still not where we should be, but we are here.
10. 09. 2022 18:52
10. 09. 2022 17:52 CET
13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Was there a problem on start of stage? A little bit, yeah...
10. 09. 2022 18:52
10. 09. 2022 17:52 CET
13 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was pretty bad to be honest. Could have been a bit better if I didn't make the mistake, but it's done now. I can't change things.
10. 09. 2022 18:52
10. 09. 2022 17:52 CET
13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I had a spin and I had to reverse. It was a bit of a mess, but okay. All good.
10. 09. 2022 18:52
10. 09. 2022 17:52 CET
13 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Rough and tough and hot! When everyone else hit dramas, we had absolutely none. It's been a clean day but it would have been nice for us to have that yesterday. The car's fast enough, we just haven't had the best road position.

12 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): We have some small things, so we need to go and see what we can do.
10. 09. 2022 16:17
10. 09. 2022 15:17 CET
12 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Honestly, I drove really clean all the time in the line. I think it will be difficult with the tyres for the next stage.
10. 09. 2022 16:17
10. 09. 2022 15:17 CET
12 (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): stopped in stage, continue

12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): So far it's all good. We need to go, though.
10. 09. 2022 16:16
10. 09. 2022 15:16 CET
12 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's interesting. Quite different conditions than the others and, for sure, anything could happen here. I was just coming through slowly.
10. 09. 2022 16:16
10. 09. 2022 15:16 CET
12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I was not struggling, but the hybrid system is struggling. I have no hybrid - again!
10. 09. 2022 15:58
10. 09. 2022 14:58 CET
12 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Quite okay. All is fine, no problem.

10. 09. 2022 14:34 CET
11 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I missed a braking point. I had an engine problem and I was more focused on that.
10. 09. 2022 15:33
10. 09. 2022 14:33 CET
11 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): All okay. I have some sensor problems, but luckily it's only for the tyres and it doesn't matter. A very clean stage from my side.
10. 09. 2022 15:33
10. 09. 2022 14:33 CET
11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Battery low alarm on dashboard. I have to go...

10. 09. 2022 14:32 CET
11 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Battery low alarm on dashboard. I need to go... it's all good but I need to go.
10. 09. 2022 15:17
10. 09. 2022 14:17 CET
11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Hot! I can't believe it. It's hot on your feet on the brake pedal! Not so bad in there, it was quite okay.
10. 09. 2022 15:16
10. 09. 2022 14:16 CET
11 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's not easy. We are just trying to come through the stages - there is not much we can do. We are here.
10. 09. 2022 15:16
10. 09. 2022 14:16 CET
11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's a little bit better than the morning, but I was sliding everywhere. Every corner I was drifting. It's not easy.

10. 09. 2022 13:44 CET
10 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): No luck, but what can I say. I didn't touch anything in the previous stage but it will turn. We have showed our pace and everything will be good.
10. 09. 2022 14:44
10. 09. 2022 13:44 CET
10 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Let's talk about how your day has been! The weather is nice, so it's good. I am just trying to keep it on the road - I can not do more. It's very challenging for us at the moment.
10. 09. 2022 14:44
10. 09. 2022 13:44 CET
10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am surprised. We had a good clean run this morning and I think the tyre choice was good as well but I struggled a bit with the balance at the rear and I had to adapt a bit. It's good that we can extend a lead on a loop like this - it gives us confidence for the afternoon, but there is still a long way to go.
10. 09. 2022 14:43
10. 09. 2022 13:43 CET
10 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Nothing speical. We just went wide and hit the rear on something. I was struggling this morning like yesterday. Going flat-out everywhere and still being slow is not easy,
10. 09. 2022 14:43
10. 09. 2022 13:43 CET
10 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): In the previous stage we had some problem with the differential and it's causing the tyres to wear.

10. 09. 2022 13:42 CET
10 (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): driving slowly with damaged car from previous stage
10. 09. 2022 14:42
10. 09. 2022 13:42 CET
10 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I'm kind of surprised because the car was cutting out throughout the stage. For sure, we lost quite a lot of time because of that.
10. 09. 2022 14:42
10. 09. 2022 13:42 CET
10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Very loose in there. The wheels are spinning a lot and it's not easy.
10. 09. 2022 14:42
10. 09. 2022 13:42 CET
10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Every stage is very slippery, so it's not different in here. I don't feel any grip. I have no traction and it's very tough. I am doing what I can but it's still not working.
10. 09. 2022 14:41
10. 09. 2022 13:41 CET
10 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Disappointing for everybody. Nobody can get a break - it's not just me. So many people have put in so much work and it's all unravelled for them. That stage was incredibly slippery and I couldn't enjoy it.

8 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): The Hyundais are pushing and I was pushing! It's very difficult - long, demanding and very tough and slippery in some places. It was important to make it through without any mistakes.
10. 09. 2022 14:37
10. 09. 2022 13:37 CET
8 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was very slippery and I was really surprised. It's okay - we did what we can. It was tricky.
10. 09. 2022 14:36
10. 09. 2022 13:36 CET
8 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I can not do better. It's too hard a job for the moment.
10. 09. 2022 14:36
10. 09. 2022 13:36 CET
8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage. Carrying two spare wheels was a bit of a handicap in there, but it will be interesting to see the tyre wear now. Hopefully this strategy pays off and we had a clean run.
10. 09. 2022 14:36
10. 09. 2022 13:36 CET
8 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It's okay. Ott is our team-mate and if he is making these times then it's fine!
10. 09. 2022 14:36
10. 09. 2022 13:36 CET
8 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I tried to push. The end is still very loose and this will clean, but the beginning is not so bad. It was a good stage, but it was so long - like a never-ending story!
10. 09. 2022 14:35
10. 09. 2022 13:35 CET
8 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I seem to be struggling with the car when it turns right. It's making it very difficult to find a rhythm.
10. 09. 2022 14:35
10. 09. 2022 13:35 CET
8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was quite okay. Very mixed grip to be honest, but let's see.
10. 09. 2022 14:35
10. 09. 2022 13:35 CET
8 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I think this is the maximum pace I can drive at the moment. We did some changes today and it felt better in the cockpit. The driving was quite normal so I'm not sure what else we can do.
10. 09. 2022 14:35
10. 09. 2022 13:35 CET
8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I don't feel the grip so it's really hard. Not so comfortable.
10. 09. 2022 14:34
10. 09. 2022 13:34 CET
8 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I had quite a lot of dust in the second half of the stage - I think we took a couple of minutes out of Jourdan. The car felt really nice and I enjoyed it.
10. 09. 2022 14:34
10. 09. 2022 13:34 CET
8 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): It was quite nice at the beginning, but for the last nine kilometres we had a lot of cleaning and we lost a lot of time from that side. Okay, it's part of the game.

09. 09. 2022 17:57 CET
7 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): We can be happy with what we have done. We had an issue with the brakes at the beginning of the stage and something with the power steering at the end. I didn't want to take any risks and I just brought the car home. It's amazing - it's like a dream to be fighting with Loeb.
09. 09. 2022 18:49
09. 09. 2022 17:49 CET
7 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Happy with that. Every time I wanted to brake I had to press the entire pedal to the floor. I saw that a road position was possible to gain and I think we've possibly got one.
09. 09. 2022 18:42
09. 09. 2022 17:42 CET
7 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I made some modifications to the car and I tried to push more. I have a good feeling with the car now and it's working better. It was not a great day for me but at least we are here.
09. 09. 2022 18:40
09. 09. 2022 17:40 CET
7 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): I decided to try really hard in this one because I was losing too much time in the last one and I didn't feel too confident. So I said 'okay, I need to finish on a good rhythm'. There was a stone in the ground which I hit sideways and it lifted the car. It's no problem.
09. 09. 2022 18:38
09. 09. 2022 17:38 CET
7 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's fine for me. I am very happy with the day to be fair - I have been driving pretty well.
09. 09. 2022 18:35
09. 09. 2022 17:35 CET
7 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I had this stupid rubber door seal coming down. It was getting stuck on my arm all the time. That's just how the day was going.
09. 09. 2022 18:31
09. 09. 2022 17:31 CET
7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I am struggling today and it was not so enjoyable. I learned some things from a few stages and I will try to improve tomorrow. This is the situation.
09. 09. 2022 18:31
09. 09. 2022 17:31 CET
7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was enjoyable. I am happy to finish the day and tomorrow the road position should be a bit better. The car was working quite okay and we had a really clean run throughout the day.
09. 09. 2022 18:30
09. 09. 2022 17:30 CET
7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been tough. It felt a bit better in here but we're just missing the grip a bit. I don't know.
09. 09. 2022 18:30
09. 09. 2022 17:30 CET
7 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I had to try hard to try and get some kind of road position for tomorrow and I did everything I could in here. We have been carrying a faulty hybrid unit for half of the day.
09. 09. 2022 18:18
09. 09. 2022 17:18 CET
7 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Hopefully we can do a bit more when we have a better starting position.
09. 09. 2022 16:15
09. 09. 2022 15:15 CET
6 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): What is it about today that's so special? The car, the co-driver, everyone!
09. 09. 2022 16:15
09. 09. 2022 15:15 CET
6 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's very slippery. I lost some time being out of the line but I have just been focusing on trying to keep things tidy today.
09. 09. 2022 16:15
09. 09. 2022 15:15 CET
6 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): If I try and match those guys I will go off the road and maybe we will lose one minute! I have no confidence at the moment but I am trying to do my best. I want to try and keep close to the others but it's not easy.
09. 09. 2022 16:15
09. 09. 2022 15:15 CET
6 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): I think Lappi is very fast now. I did quite a good stage, so there's no real reason for the time loss.
09. 09. 2022 15:58
09. 09. 2022 14:58 CET
6 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I was not really pushing but I was clean all the time. I was braking early to ensure we would be on the correct line in the exits. Not a push, but efficient.
09. 09. 2022 15:58
09. 09. 2022 14:58 CET
6 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): The car is nice, it has to be said, and the other guys are doing a great job. It's a pleasure but also incredibly frustrating for us.
09. 09. 2022 15:58
09. 09. 2022 14:58 CET
6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am not comparing my times with Rovanperä. I am looking at the guys behind who are in a close position. It wasn't great to be honest - I struggled with the balance and I had quite a bit of understeer.
09. 09. 2022 14:41
09. 09. 2022 13:41 CET
5 (26 - Ingram Chris / Drew Craig): was out of road
09. 09. 2022 14:14
09. 09. 2022 13:14 CET
5 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): My first stage win? No?! That's good. It was close so many times this year and we deserve this one. I had good pace notes and it was good driving, but I am a bit surprised.
09. 09. 2022 14:13
09. 09. 2022 13:13 CET
5 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): In one of the hairpins I had a warning light. It distracted me and I missed the junction. It's not good.
09. 09. 2022 14:13
09. 09. 2022 13:13 CET
5 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): My feeling was bad. My pace notes were not good and I struggled a lot.
09. 09. 2022 14:13
09. 09. 2022 13:13 CET
5 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): I was a bit too late after a flat left to brake for a hairpin and I couldn't rotate the car. I had to reverse.
09. 09. 2022 14:12
09. 09. 2022 13:12 CET
5 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's not cleaning so much now. I am surprised about the time because it was not really easy from my side. Maybe my tyres are not in the best condition.
09. 09. 2022 14:12
09. 09. 2022 13:12 CET
5 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's a good step. That stage is cleaning like hell and I'm just so frustrated with what happened before. I was completely in the middle of the road and we didn't touch it.
09. 09. 2022 14:12
09. 09. 2022 13:12 CET
5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's better, but it's very slippery and feeling-wise it's uncomfortable. It's strange but I will try to do something.
09. 09. 2022 14:12
09. 09. 2022 13:12 CET
5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know about the time, but I did what I could. The handling was completely different here compared to the other stages - it was a different profile. For this kind of stage I need to work on the chassis.
09. 09. 2022 14:11
09. 09. 2022 13:11 CET
5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was really awful. The grip was so, so bad and it will be a massive cleaning effect for everybody coming through. It was hard to find confidence in here.
09. 09. 2022 14:11
09. 09. 2022 13:11 CET
5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Yeah, it's a lot of cleaning. We could follow Kalle's lines but without hybrid and a lot of uphill hairpins it was a big struggle.
09. 09. 2022 14:11
09. 09. 2022 13:11 CET
5 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): There was no grip. A really difficult stage with a lot of cleaning and even less grip than in the stages this morning. Not easy.

09. 09. 2022 13:43 CET
4 retired (79 - Kanellopoulos Anastasios / Kofinas Konstantinos): retired in SS 4

4 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I have to go - I have no brakes!
09. 09. 2022 14:10
09. 09. 2022 13:10 CET
4 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It felt okay - but I had no brakes all the way down the hill. There was no bite when I first touched the brakes, so it was hard to have any confidence coming down there.
09. 09. 2022 14:10
09. 09. 2022 13:10 CET
4 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): We had more grip in the stage and I feel more confident with the car. I enjoyed this a bit more but still the other cars are fast.
09. 09. 2022 14:10
09. 09. 2022 13:10 CET
4 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): There is so much gravel and stones coming from the wheels of the car - maybe this caused something. It's nothing special.
09. 09. 2022 14:10
09. 09. 2022 13:10 CET
4 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It felt that I overheated the tyres, so the end was very slippery. I was a bit too wide and off the line a few times, but otherwise it was a very clean run.
09. 09. 2022 14:10
09. 09. 2022 13:10 CET
4 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I don't know. I seem to be getting it all at this point.
09. 09. 2022 14:09
09. 09. 2022 13:09 CET
4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I am not happy, actually. It's really challenging for me and I need to focus more.
09. 09. 2022 14:09
09. 09. 2022 13:09 CET

09. 09. 2022 14:08
09. 09. 2022 13:08 CET
4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's just rocky more than anything. The ground is very, very hard.
09. 09. 2022 14:08
09. 09. 2022 13:08 CET
4 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Before the stage on the road section we lost the hybrid. It's affecting the driveability quite a bit now, so we will just try to get through.
09. 09. 2022 14:08
09. 09. 2022 13:08 CET
4 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): A bit more of a clean now, so that's better. There are some rough places but we are here without any issues and that's the main thing.

3 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was a bit more tricky and I was more careful with the car in this one. I think it would be possible to do better, but it's okay.
09. 09. 2022 14:07
09. 09. 2022 13:07 CET
3 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was okay. It felt like a clean drive. Séb's a nine-time world champion for a reason! He's always the benchmark.
09. 09. 2022 14:07
09. 09. 2022 13:07 CET
3 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I don't have a lot of confidence in the fast sections. It was very slippery at the rear and quite difficult to keep the car in a line.
09. 09. 2022 14:07
09. 09. 2022 13:07 CET
3 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): It felt okay. The car is working really well and the stages are twisty with some big stones at the side. It's not easy for the tyres, but overall I have done a good stage.
09. 09. 2022 14:07
09. 09. 2022 13:07 CET
3 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I tried my best but it's tricky. It's hard to keep the car on the road. I didn't have any moments but it feels like we are sliding all the time. Maybe some grip would be nice.
09. 09. 2022 14:06
09. 09. 2022 13:06 CET
3 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Quite okay. It was in the back of my mind but I tried not to think about it. There was no dust that time and we got through.
09. 09. 2022 14:06
09. 09. 2022 13:06 CET
3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I don't know, but for myself it's not working. I need to do something.
09. 09. 2022 14:06
09. 09. 2022 13:06 CET
3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay. It's cleaning and all the cars behind are going faster. It is what it is and we will try to keep fighting.
09. 09. 2022 14:06
09. 09. 2022 13:06 CET
3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was much better in there now. Everything is fine.
09. 09. 2022 14:06
09. 09. 2022 13:06 CET
3 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): In some places it's still tricky, but for sure now it's possible to see! This stage is very loose and you just need to drive through.
09. 09. 2022 14:05
09. 09. 2022 13:05 CET
3 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I think we are just not having the right things on the car at the moment. Let's see what we can do. This one was quite okay at the beginning, but in the middle it was horrible. It feels like the car is not working in the low-speed sections and I think we are going to lose some time.
09. 09. 2022 14:05
09. 09. 2022 13:05 CET
2 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): Okay, good! Difficult with the dust. Who did the best time - Loeb?!
09. 09. 2022 14:05
09. 09. 2022 13:05 CET
2 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): In the first six kilometres everything felt good, but then we hit the dust and it's so hard to see. Reference points are tricky enough as it is in Greece, but with the dust it's even trickier.
09. 09. 2022 14:05
09. 09. 2022 13:05 CET
2 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was really bad with the pace notes and a lot of dust. We were in the dust in many places and in one place I went a little bit off the road. Quite bad.
09. 09. 2022 14:04
09. 09. 2022 13:04 CET
2 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): It was a good stage, but really not easy with the sun and the dust, and it's very slippery in some places. I had a little alert with the brakes - maybe they are overheating a bit - but it's no problem at all.
09. 09. 2022 14:04
09. 09. 2022 13:04 CET
2 (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): There was a small fire at the rear of his car at the stage end. It was quickly extinguished and the Irishman hopes to continue.
09. 09. 2022 14:04
09. 09. 2022 13:04 CET
2 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Okay. Everything is good - the dust is an issue, but it's the same for everybody except Kalle. I was pretty careful in the dust but other than that it was clean.
09. 09. 2022 14:04
09. 09. 2022 13:04 CET
2 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): The dust was really bad in places, but it was quite an okay stage. We had a handy enough rhythm and I'm happy to get through.
09. 09. 2022 14:03
09. 09. 2022 13:03 CET
2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Tough in places - I couldn't see and my pace notes are really bad. There's a long way to go.
09. 09. 2022 14:03
09. 09. 2022 13:03 CET
2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We have no visibility - sometimes you are flat-out in fifth gear and all of a sudden there is nothing.
09. 09. 2022 14:03
09. 09. 2022 13:03 CET
2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The dust is difficult. It's difficult to find a rhythm and everything, but okay.
09. 09. 2022 14:03
09. 09. 2022 13:03 CET
2 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Nobody cares about the balance if you can't see anything. It's challenging.
09. 09. 2022 14:03
09. 09. 2022 13:03 CET
2 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Being first on the road here is not easy. Really low grip and I think our car's grip is not good either. We will try to do our best with the situation.
08. 09. 2022 23:56
08. 09. 2022 22:56 CET

1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's an incredible atmosphere. We are doing a big sport but even these things don't happen too often to us. It was really good fun.
08. 09. 2022 21:07
08. 09. 2022 20:07 CET
1 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): For sure, not the most enjoyable stage but one of the coolest I have ever done. When you drive for a crowd like this then these kinds of stages are worth it.
08. 09. 2022 21:07
08. 09. 2022 20:07 CET
1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Pretty difficult! Not the greatest run from us, but of course it's a nice setting to start the event.
08. 09. 2022 21:07
08. 09. 2022 20:07 CET
1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's like it should always be - such great crowds and atmosphere. Congratulations to the organisers for putting this in place for us and for all the spectators who came today. It shows that it's possible to bring huge crowds to the WRC and we should look to do more on other events as well.

1 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I think it's only cosmetic. I locked the wheels under braking and then I couldn't restart the engine. That's how it is.

1 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was good. A very slippery stage but it's really nice because there is a lot of people. It's easy to make a mistake here so we took it easy and we'll see what happens tomorrow.

1 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It's unbelievable to see this. We are very lucky and it was nice. Unfortunately with the recce we did it was not easy and I saw Andreas' mistake, so I was very careful.

SHAKEDOWN flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): Everything is okay. The car is top once again, so I expect to have something like Kenya maybe!

SHAKEDOWN flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Beautiful country and beautiful roads. The whole team likes Greece and the car felt really nice. We want to see some good points on the board and if we get to the end of the weekend like that, I'll be very happy.

SHAKEDOWN flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was okay. I had a little bit of understeer in the corners and it was quite dusty in some places, so I didn't push. I lost a bit of time in the fast places but I'm quite happy.

SHAKEDOWN flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): It's very different now and they are all new stages for me, so it was hard work in the recce. It's a nice rally and the stages are interesting. We need to find a rhythm because it's a long time since I drove the car in an event, but I am happy to be here.

SHAKEDOWN flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Definitely Friday is the toughest day. It's very rough and without service it's kind of survival. The rest is not easy, but it gets smoother. It was quite slippery here - especially after Belgium!

08. 09. 2022 12:52 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I'm looking forward to it. This place has good memories and it's my happy hunting ground. The test was really good, so we'll see how it goes.

SHAKEDOWN flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We had some long days of recce, but today we start an even harder job and I need to focus and be smart.

SHAKEDOWN flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a tough weekend ahead of us. We know what to expect from last year with the experience we have, but I think it could be even tougher. It's a long day tomorrow to start, so let's see.

08. 09. 2022 12:52 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Who knows! It's quite a different challenge to the recent events we've had, so we need to see what's possible. It was quite difficult in here with low grip - the sun was also not helping either.
08. 09. 2022 13:52
08. 09. 2022 12:52 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The roads were not so bad. There is quite a lot of bedrock and the grip is changing a lot. Some places there is good grip and some places there is low grip. Especially tomorrow it will be demanding.

08. 09. 2022 12:51 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We will see later on, but at least in shakedown it felt quite horrible to be honest. Much less grip than I was expecting, so it's not going to be easy. There is no grip at all.
