INFORMATION ABOUT SS 2
flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was coming really quickly since the beginning of the stage. The car was smelling of petrol a lot and just here in a straight line the fire was coming between the seats with a lot of smoke, so I stopped the car. After a few minutes it started to burn. It was coming from the rear and we tried to put it out but it was absolutely impossible. I'm sorry for the team - to lose a car like this, it's a bad day.
Stage is cancelled.
retired (20 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): accident in SS 2
Stage was stopped because of fire of car st.no.6.
retired (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): fire in SS 2
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I have no idea to be honest. It was very narrow with not a lot of grip in the road and I didn't feel anything. Our race is already over.
(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): puncture
flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Fulton James): I have to say, I appreciate Seb pulling in straight away. I probably dropped four or five seconds but it's not such a bad start.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Very difficult and very bad driving from me. I was quite surprised at how low the grip was in a corner near the beginning and after that I was not really sure what was coming.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Probably not the best rhythm to be honest. It's like that. The car's okay and I'm just finding my feet.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It didn't feel great to be honest. I was understeering quite a lot and towards the end my pace notes were too conservative. Plenty of surprises in there and it was getting quite dirty as well. That's all we could do.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's tricky to drive. We stopped in the tunnel because it was full of dust and we couldn't see beyond the bonnet.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Quite bad. I had a lot of understeer and on these kinds of roads you kill the front tyres and you can not drive at all. Halfway through the stage something started to smoke in the cabin - we're not sure what it is so we have to check.
