INFORMATION ABOUT SS 6
flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The worst set of notes I've ever written in my life! I was driving on sight for the entire stage. There's not much point doing tomorrow if it's going to be like that so it looks like we've got another late night ahead.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I clipped a small barrier. A beginner mistake - in a junction I hesitated and hit the barrier very slowly. It's okay.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The feeling is getting better and better. With the leaves the grip is unknown so I was guessing a little bit! I feel pretty comfortable.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been tough and quite short. We're only four stages down but it's still not been easy. The stages are very demanding and there's a different feeling in all of them - you're always wanting something different from the car. Tomorrow is more of the same and it's changeable. You've got some very fast sections and then more of the slow and twisty.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's getting more and more full of leaves. You can't see the road and you don't know what the grip is like underneath them. I struggled in there because I don't want to do a mistake. We are in a good position and we are staying in the fight.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It seemed a bit better. We've managed to improve but in the middle of this one we lost the hybrid - I don't know why. Let's see tomorrow.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was okay. This one was pretty okay with the grip. On the wide parts it's not easy and we have been struggling with understeer the whole day, so I didn't have full confidence.
