INFORMATION ABOUT SS 19
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It feels great! It wasn't an easy weekend or an easy year, but to end with a victory and showing a good speed all weekend is a great way to end the season. Our weather guys did an incredible job this weekend so thanks to them and thanks to everybody.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's good to finish on the podium. Extremely tricky in the end. We didn't have too much speed on the last two events on Tarmac but anyway, we won some rallies and we had quite a few podiums. Let's see what the future brings. Like I said before, I have no contract at the moment for next year. I'll go back home and we will see what happens in the next weeks.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Huge thanks to the team and all the supporters on the stage and also on the road sections. Unfortunately my team-mates had a lot of problems but I have no words. It was very tricky weather but we are here.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was difficult to finish the rally with this rain and no rain tyres. This one was aquaplaning everywhere and there was no way we could push. It's been a great time.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Naturally pretty gutted really. It's been a tough season and there was a chance here so we threw everything at it. I'm really sorry I couldn't deliver it for the team at home. As it turned out today I think the win was off the cards but it's a real shame.
flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I couldn't see anything. The screen was completely fogged up all the way through but I did my best.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was quite interesting stages in the rain with these tyres. We are here and that's the main thing. It's good to end the season - I've been waiting for it for a long time! It takes a lot of strength to fight for the title and I'm ready for the holidays now.
flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Fulton James): Incredibly tricky. It's been another trying weekend and I feel very sorry for everybody involved. We collectively deserve much better results than we've been getting but it just wasn't to be.
flash info (24 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I wouldn't have done this without my co-driver next to me! It was the most difficult event for the two of us and he did an amazing job. I want to thank my family for their efforts to be here and also to the mechanics for everything they did to fix the car after the first stage.
flash info (21 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): It might take a while for this to sink in. We've had troubles and difficult times but I am so grateful to the people who continued to support us. Finally, it seems to be paying off now and I'm just so grateful.
flash info (22 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It was super tricky. The conditions were changing quite a lot and we were struggling in some places but in many places we had good pace.
flash info (23 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): The main thing was to finish and we achieved that without any big issues. Now we have even more experience for next year which is a big thing.
flash info (28 - Miele Mauro / Beltrame Luca): I am so happy you can't believe! It's a good result for me - it happened once - 40 years ago in motocross - and now again in a rally car!
Starting order: Miele, Pajari, Suninen, Lindholm, Munster, Breen, Rovanperä, Greensmith, Evans, Ogier, Katsuta, Tänak, Neuville
