INFORMATION ABOUT SS 1
Stage was cancelled.
Stage was stopped because of accident of car st.no.31.
retired (31 - Arai Toshihiro / Tanaka Naoya): accident in SS 1
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): A normal start - nothing special. Friday will be a really long day with some tough and narrow stages. It's something we haven't really experienced before so it will be a brand-new challenge.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's a fun place - a really nice place. Let's call it excitement!
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The motivation is always there, that's not a problem. It's the end of the season and we want to end on a high. We want to enjoy it as well - I think that's important. So let's do the job.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The rally is very tight and twisty and there's not a lot of room to be on the door handles! I think it's going to come down to who's in a really good rhythm.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It feels very comfortable but it's going to be a big challenge. This was a proper tricky stage and it's going to be a big weekend - but I'll try to push.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's been an intense recce but so far Vincent is doing a good job. It was already a good test tonight and so far, so good. Tomorrow the real stuff is starting.
flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Fulton James): He wasn't just dropped in at the deep end here, he was dropped in somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic! He's put in all the prep and he's reaping the rewards now, so I just want him to enjoy it. It's going to be a tricky weekend for everyone.
flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It's a tricky rally and it's special to start with this kind of stage. There were a lot of crests and surface changes, so it's already a tricky stage to start the rally.
flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): That was pretty difficult and it's only a super special! Even with the lights you couldn't see anything, but that's pretty easy compared to tomorrow! A long old weekend ahead...
flash info (20 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): We are not only fighting with Emil on this rally. They are very tricky stages so we don't know what to expect. I think on Sunday, when it's raining, will be a big challenge. I will try to enjoy and just drive without thinking too much.
flash info (21 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): It was a bit slippery! No worries - it's nice to do a stage in the dark.
flash info (22 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It was quite slippery and I lost the rear a bit. I tried to counter steer but it wasn't enough. Let's see about tomorrow - it's going to be a tricky day.
flash info (23 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It's really tricky. Obviously the feeling is very good and I'm really looking forward to the rally. I can't wait to start tomorrow.
flash info (24 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It was slippery but with the soft tyres after the donut it overheated and I got caught with a big slide coming out of nowhere.
flash info (25 - Bulacia Bruno / Morales Gabriel): It was pretty difficult and very slippery. Anyway, we passed it so we are happy and tomorrow we will see the real rally.
