13. 11. 2022 12:28 CET 		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.
13. 11. 2022 20:28
13. 11. 2022 12:28 CET 		19 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.
13. 11. 2022 20:27
13. 11. 2022 12:27 CET 		19 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.
13. 11. 2022 20:27
13. 11. 2022 12:27 CET 		19 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.
13. 11. 2022 20:27
13. 11. 2022 12:27 CET 		19 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.
13. 11. 2022 20:27
13. 11. 2022 12:27 CET 		19 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.
13. 11. 2022 20:26
13. 11. 2022 12:26 CET 		19 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.
13. 11. 2022 20:26
13. 11. 2022 12:26 CET 		19 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.
13. 11. 2022 20:26
13. 11. 2022 12:26 CET 		19 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.
13. 11. 2022 20:26
13. 11. 2022 12:26 CET 		19 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.
13. 11. 2022 20:25
13. 11. 2022 12:25 CET 		19 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.
13. 11. 2022 20:25
13. 11. 2022 12:25 CET 		19 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.
13. 11. 2022 20:25
13. 11. 2022 12:25 CET 		19 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!
13. 11. 2022 20:24
13. 11. 2022 12:24 CET 		19 Starting order: Miele, Pajari, Suninen, Lindholm, Munster, Breen, Rovanperä, Greensmith, Evans, Ogier, Katsuta, Tänak, Neuville
13. 11. 2022 12:53
13. 11. 2022 04:53 CET 		18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): That was a tough one. I knew I couldn't make any mistakes and I took it quite steady. We had a lot of heavy rain at some points and it was full aquaplaning everywhere. We did what we had to do.
13. 11. 2022 12:52
13. 11. 2022 04:52 CET 		18 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): That was a pretty slow effort I guess, but we were having moments anyway. It's impossible when you've got two hards on the car.
13. 11. 2022 12:52
13. 11. 2022 04:52 CET 		18 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Very difficult. I was very careful because these are quite crazy roads. I didn't want to make any mistakes.
13. 11. 2022 12:52
13. 11. 2022 04:52 CET 		18 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's been a difficult stage with one hard tyre on the car. It was just about surviving to be honest.
13. 11. 2022 12:52
13. 11. 2022 04:52 CET 		18 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Full wets would've been nice, especially at the end. It's so slippery so we were very careful.
13. 11. 2022 12:51
13. 11. 2022 04:51 CET 		18 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was one of the slippiest and trickiest stages I have ever done!
13. 11. 2022 12:51
13. 11. 2022 04:51 CET 		18 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Fulton James): I'm happy I had the full wets - that was very tricky. I was only going at 60 per cent because I want to have the best car and package possible for the Power Stage. Let's see.
13. 11. 2022 12:50
13. 11. 2022 04:50 CET 		18 It is raining.
13. 11. 2022 12:50
13. 11. 2022 04:50 CET 		18 Stage will be delayed for 10 minutes.
13. 11. 2022 09:59
13. 11. 2022 01:59 CET 		16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a challenging stage in there and I wasn't sure I had done enough. The time is good so I'm happy with that. It's a relief but it's a shame for Elfyn as well. The fight was enjoyable and now it's over, but we still need to be careful.
13. 11. 2022 09:52
13. 11. 2022 01:52 CET 		16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I was probably a tad wide in a right-hander. The notes were correct but I didn't get them as early as I needed to slow the car down in time. There was nothing I could do.
13. 11. 2022 09:51
13. 11. 2022 01:51 CET 		16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Never happy to hear a team-mate is having issues. We need to survive.
13. 11. 2022 09:50
13. 11. 2022 01:50 CET 		16 (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): puncture
13. 11. 2022 09:50
13. 11. 2022 01:50 CET 		16 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): We are just driving and keeping a decent rhythm until the end of the rally. This one was very difficult - a lot of leaves and a lot of grip changes.
13. 11. 2022 09:50
13. 11. 2022 01:50 CET 		16 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Four hard tyres would be the ultimate in there. We're just looking forward to what might come and just driving slow and protecting the tyres. We're entering the window of whether the rain's going to come or not.
13. 11. 2022 09:50
13. 11. 2022 01:50 CET 		16 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We found some things on the car which are nice to drive. It's not so bad. The surface on this one was trickier than we expected - I was expecting it to be more consistent but there were some grip changes and damp places as well.
13. 11. 2022 09:49
13. 11. 2022 01:49 CET 		16 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Fulton James): Maybe it's because I'm driving very slow, but in the last 7km there is no grip on the moss and it's so difficult to see it. Incredibly difficult.
13. 11. 2022 08:40
13. 11. 2022 00:40 CET 		15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I'm not surprised. With the two softs on the rear, we know we're going to lose some time in the upcoming stages. Once the rain comes, with the wet tyres we should be much quicker. I am relying on the information of the team and according to that there will be a lot of rain.
13. 11. 2022 08:36
13. 11. 2022 00:36 CET 		15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): A bit hairy in that first part! It's so fast and pretty patchy damp, so hard to judge the grip. Otherwise, it was fine.
13. 11. 2022 08:36
13. 11. 2022 00:36 CET 		15 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We made the final decision and let's see. The information we had seemed like the best one so let's see if the rain is coming. At the moment we need to try and save the tyres for the later stages.
13. 11. 2022 08:29
13. 11. 2022 00:29 CET 		15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay - nothing special. A little bit damp in some sections but it was not as bad as I expected.
13. 11. 2022 08:25
13. 11. 2022 00:25 CET 		15 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I think the meteo guys are sweating in both camps! Maybe we have different information, I'm not sure. We'll have to find out when the rain is coming.
13. 11. 2022 08:25
13. 11. 2022 00:25 CET 		15 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was okay. It's just about managing the tyres for the morning and making it to the end of the day to see how much of this rain comes.
13. 11. 2022 08:24
13. 11. 2022 00:24 CET 		15 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We are using this day for testing for next year. We will hopefully get the car a bit better and find some new things for the balance of the car.
13. 11. 2022 08:18
13. 11. 2022 00:18 CET 		15 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Fulton James): For us, it was an easy choice. We're just looking towards the Power Stage which should be full wets. It's not so much fun with the wets on the car now though.
13. 11. 2022 00:49
12. 11. 2022 16:49 CET 		13 Stage was cancelled.
13. 11. 2022 00:49
12. 11. 2022 16:49 CET 		12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): There wasn't a lot left but it wasn't a good run either. I've lost the feeling with the front of the car a bit this afternoon. Let's see.
13. 11. 2022 00:49
12. 11. 2022 16:49 CET 		12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was actually not a very good run. I did a good stage but I had some real trouble with the diff spin. Luckily it was the last proper stage of the day and we only have two Mickey Mouse ones left.
13. 11. 2022 00:48
12. 11. 2022 16:48 CET 		12 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We found some things which work but definitely on this stage it's not working. In the beginning of the stage I could not do much more with the car and I am not on a crazy place, so of course we are not so fast.
13. 11. 2022 00:48
12. 11. 2022 16:48 CET 		12 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): There is not much speed but that's where we are at the moment.
13. 11. 2022 00:48
12. 11. 2022 16:48 CET 		12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I don't know why but it's not so natural driving. I had a moment here this morning so maybe I backed off too much. I don't know but I am trying.
13. 11. 2022 00:48
12. 11. 2022 16:48 CET 		12 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was absolutely fine until the penultimate corner when it went again.
13. 11. 2022 00:47
12. 11. 2022 16:47 CET 		12 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The other guys are pushing so it's not a guarantee. I struggled a bit towards the end - we made some set-up changes and it's not all positive but we are still learning. It's turned out to be a bit of a test now as we are not fighting for the win.
13. 11. 2022 00:47
12. 11. 2022 16:47 CET 		12 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Fulton James): At the beginning of that stage it's just hell for us - it's so difficult to make the car turn in and get into a rhythm. I'm just trying to get more mileage with James and we're working and making improvements, but it's quite tricky.
13. 11. 2022 00:54
12. 11. 2022 16:54 CET 		11 retired (36 - Rosati Frédéric / Chiappe Patrick): retired after SS 11
13. 11. 2022 00:53
12. 11. 2022 16:53 CET 		11 retired (47 - Kunisawa Mitsuhiro / Kihara Masahiko): accident in SS 11
13. 11. 2022 00:53
12. 11. 2022 16:53 CET 		11 retired (38 - Katsuta Norihiko / Kimura Yusuke): accident in SS 11
13. 11. 2022 00:47
12. 11. 2022 16:47 CET 		11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We are obviously pushing but not quite good enough.
13. 11. 2022 00:47
12. 11. 2022 16:47 CET 		11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was OK, in the very narrow I struggled a bit on the confidence. I don’t want to make the car slide too much because you lose too much time on the exit.
13. 11. 2022 00:46
12. 11. 2022 16:46 CET 		11 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Nothing special, we are just trying some new setups. We were feeling them out at the beginning and not pushing.
13. 11. 2022 00:46
12. 11. 2022 16:46 CET 		11 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We've been making changes all year.
13. 11. 2022 00:46
12. 11. 2022 16:46 CET 		11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I try to push but this was really really horrible. I need to improve.
12. 11. 2022 10:14
12. 11. 2022 02:14 CET 		10 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It should be no issue getting to service. We will just try to get there and fix the car so we can enjoy the afternoon a bit more.
12. 11. 2022 10:13
12. 11. 2022 02:13 CET 		10 (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): went through with punctured tyre from SS 8
12. 11. 2022 10:13
12. 11. 2022 02:13 CET 		10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not too bad really. It's always hard to strike the right balance on a rally like this but it seems to be going okay. Let's see what the afternoon brings.
12. 11. 2022 10:13
12. 11. 2022 02:13 CET 		10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know. On the recce we had to do 60kph which is very slow, and my pace notes are related on speed. There is also a metal plate which came off the road and it's in the middle of the road.
12. 11. 2022 10:12
12. 11. 2022 02:12 CET 		10 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was a very racey stage so we stiffened the car a bit and it was a big improvement.
12. 11. 2022 10:12
12. 11. 2022 02:12 CET 		10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I wanted to really push in this one but the rhythm was not so good, so I stepped it down a bit. All good but this afternoon is going to be tricky.
12. 11. 2022 10:12
12. 11. 2022 02:12 CET 		10 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It reminded me of some of the roads from Tokyo Drift the film! It was enjoyable.
12. 11. 2022 10:12
12. 11. 2022 02:12 CET 		10 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Like we said, we'll keep driving fast and try to enjoy. It's been a good morning.
12. 11. 2022 10:12
12. 11. 2022 02:12 CET 		10 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Fulton James): It's like going up the M50! It's so different to everything else in the rally so far because it's wide, open and fast. We got through with no mistakes but for sure we need to make some changes to the car to get it as competitive as I'd like it to be.
12. 11. 2022 08:54
12. 11. 2022 00:54 CET 		9 retired (27 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): accident in SS 9
12. 11. 2022 08:53
12. 11. 2022 00:53 CET 		9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I didn't have the best run in here. The start was especially quite bad but the end was okay. There are a lot of people out with the flags and that's nice to see.
12. 11. 2022 08:53
12. 11. 2022 00:53 CET 		9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay - the first clean, smooth stage I've had. It's getting a bit dirty towards the end so maybe I was a bit cautious in there. I had a good run through.
12. 11. 2022 08:52
12. 11. 2022 00:52 CET 		9 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): There was something on a right-hand corner where we got a bit close but it was not a big hit. I have no spares and the car is not 100 per cent on the right corner. It's not working and turning in as well as it should.
12. 11. 2022 08:52
12. 11. 2022 00:52 CET 		9 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The car felt really too soft and it's not so nice at the moment. It's very difficult to find the balance.
12. 11. 2022 08:51
12. 11. 2022 00:51 CET 		9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I had no info about the end of the stage and it was very, very slippery. I could not drive like this and it was so dangerous for me.
12. 11. 2022 08:51
12. 11. 2022 00:51 CET 		9 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The culture and the people are really great - the place itself is incredible and it's incredible to come and rally here. The stage was okay but we're just cruising.
12. 11. 2022 08:51
12. 11. 2022 00:51 CET 		9 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The last part is very nice. The first part is extremely twisty and so slow.
12. 11. 2022 08:51
12. 11. 2022 00:51 CET 		9 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Fulton James): I'm just trying to get through and get used to working with Jim. If you slack back a bit you lose so much time. I just need to bide my time.
12. 11. 2022 08:54
12. 11. 2022 00:54 CET 		8 retired (34 - Raoux Jean-Michel / Magat Laurent): retired in SS 8
12. 11. 2022 07:48
11. 11. 2022 23:48 CET 		8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Pretty okay - the usual story. It's not easy, quite demanding but all okay.
12. 11. 2022 07:46
11. 11. 2022 23:46 CET 		8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I tried. I had quite an okay stage but in the very narrow sections I have too much information in my pace notes and it was very difficult to keep concentrated. I did what I could.
12. 11. 2022 07:46
11. 11. 2022 23:46 CET 		8 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I went a bid wide in one corner and had a puncture. We had to change it on the stage.
12. 11. 2022 07:38
11. 11. 2022 23:38 CET 		8 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): A tricky stage - especially the last part with the grass in the middle. We took it nicely through so no drama.
12. 11. 2022 07:37
11. 11. 2022 23:37 CET 		8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I'll try to push where I can but this one not so much because it's too tricky. I was careful in the middle section but let's see in the next one.
12. 11. 2022 07:37
11. 11. 2022 23:37 CET 		8 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It seemed okay in there to be fair. There's a bit more cutting than yesterday so it might get a bit dirtier.
12. 11. 2022 07:37
11. 11. 2022 23:37 CET 		8 (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): puncture, changing tyre
12. 11. 2022 07:37
11. 11. 2022 23:37 CET 		8 (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): was out of road
12. 11. 2022 07:36
11. 11. 2022 23:36 CET 		8 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): We will try to enjoy and work on the set-up like I said yesterday. We are not in any fight and we just want to keep a good rhythm.
12. 11. 2022 07:36
11. 11. 2022 23:36 CET 		8 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Fulton James): Let's not talk about yesterday. I'm sorry for all the guys and girls having to do extra work without need. I picked up a slow rear right puncture in there so not the ideal start to the day.
11. 11. 2022 20:48
11. 11. 2022 12:48 CET 		7 Stage was cancelled due to damaged rail from first run.
11. 11. 2022 20:52
11. 11. 2022 12:52 CET 		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.
11. 11. 2022 20:52
11. 11. 2022 12:52 CET 		6 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.
11. 11. 2022 20:52
11. 11. 2022 12:52 CET 		6 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.
11. 11. 2022 20:52
11. 11. 2022 12:52 CET 		6 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.
11. 11. 2022 20:51
11. 11. 2022 12:51 CET 		6 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.
11. 11. 2022 20:51
11. 11. 2022 12:51 CET 		6 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.
11. 11. 2022 20:51
11. 11. 2022 12:51 CET 		6 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.
11. 11. 2022 20:50
11. 11. 2022 12:50 CET 		5 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): No issues - there's nothing really to fight for and I didn't have a first pass this morning, so it's quite tricky to come straight out of the blocks. I didn't want to do anything stupid.
11. 11. 2022 20:50
11. 11. 2022 12:50 CET 		5 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): This morning we obviously drove slower in this one because of the puncture. The feeling in the car is good. The only thing we can do is enjoy the driving and keep working on the car.
11. 11. 2022 20:50
11. 11. 2022 12:50 CET 		5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The car has improved and I feel more natural driving. I was still hesitant to carry the speed because you never know how much grip there is. It's quite okay.
11. 11. 2022 20:50
11. 11. 2022 12:50 CET 		5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Clean. A bit better than this morning and a bit more consistent, but still some tricky places and always quite busy!
11. 11. 2022 20:50
11. 11. 2022 12:50 CET 		5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a clean run. I'm enjoying the car a bit more now and we have a better balance. It's quite tricky with the visibility and I struggled a bit, but I think for everybody it's the same.
11. 11. 2022 20:49
11. 11. 2022 12:49 CET 		5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We got the transmission fixed. In some faster places I still struggled with the balance but in the very twisty and slow it wasn't so bad. It's a tricky one but we are doing what we can.
11. 11. 2022 20:49
11. 11. 2022 12:49 CET 		5 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We tried to change the balance of the car a bit. It can be better in places now in this loop. It was not so bad in this stage so let's see what it's like in the other one with a bit more space.
11. 11. 2022 20:47
11. 11. 2022 12:47 CET 		5 Stage was shortened from finish because of fire in first run.
11. 11. 2022 10:13
11. 11. 2022 02:13 CET 		4 Stage was cancelled.
11. 11. 2022 10:12
11. 11. 2022 02:12 CET 		4 Stage was stopped.
11. 11. 2022 10:12
11. 11. 2022 02:12 CET 		4 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Craig's off the road but he's okay - he went into a barrier. I've got a broken driveshaft so it's not great for any of us really. It is what it is.
11. 11. 2022 10:11
11. 11. 2022 02:11 CET 		4 (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): problems with driveshaft
11. 11. 2022 10:11
11. 11. 2022 02:11 CET 		4 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): This one was a little bit more enjoyable than the first one. A bit more rhythm and a bit more normal corners.
11. 11. 2022 10:11
11. 11. 2022 02:11 CET 		4 retired (42 - Breen Craig / Fulton James): accident in SS 4
11. 11. 2022 10:10
11. 11. 2022 02:10 CET 		4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was big understeer everywhere. I don't know why. It's very difficult to see the grip changes also - it's never easy.
11. 11. 2022 10:10
11. 11. 2022 02:10 CET 		4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's a nice stage in a way, but it's not easy and it didn't feel very nice so often.
11. 11. 2022 10:10
11. 11. 2022 02:10 CET 		4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I struggled a bit. The visibility is so bad with the sun and the trees and I have no confidence in the front with lots of grip changes. Very tough but we are here.
11. 11. 2022 10:10
11. 11. 2022 02:10 CET 		4 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): problems with transmission
11. 11. 2022 08:49
11. 11. 2022 00:49 CET 		4 Start of stage will be delayed. New start time is 9:20.
11. 11. 2022 08:17
11. 11. 2022 00:17 CET 		3 Stage is cancelled because of fire on previous stage.
11. 11. 2022 09:10
11. 11. 2022 01:10 CET 		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.
11. 11. 2022 08:16
11. 11. 2022 00:16 CET 		2 Stage is cancelled.
11. 11. 2022 08:03
11. 11. 2022 00:03 CET 		2 retired (20 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): accident in SS 2
11. 11. 2022 07:45
10. 11. 2022 23:45 CET 		2 Stage was stopped because of fire of car st.no.6.
11. 11. 2022 07:44
10. 11. 2022 23:44 CET 		2 retired (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): fire in SS 2
11. 11. 2022 07:44
10. 11. 2022 23:44 CET 		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.
11. 11. 2022 07:44
10. 11. 2022 23:44 CET 		2 (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): puncture
11. 11. 2022 07:43
10. 11. 2022 23:43 CET 		2 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.
11. 11. 2022 07:43
10. 11. 2022 23:43 CET 		2 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.
11. 11. 2022 07:42
10. 11. 2022 23:42 CET 		2 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.
11. 11. 2022 07:42
10. 11. 2022 23:42 CET 		2 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.
11. 11. 2022 07:42
10. 11. 2022 23:42 CET 		2 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.
11. 11. 2022 07:42
10. 11. 2022 23:42 CET 		2 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.
10. 11. 2022 20:50
10. 11. 2022 12:50 CET 		1 Stage was cancelled.
10. 11. 2022 20:50
10. 11. 2022 12:50 CET 		1 Stage was stopped because of accident of car st.no.31.

10. 11. 2022 20:49
10. 11. 2022 12:49 CET 		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.
10. 11. 2022 20:49
10. 11. 2022 12:49 CET 		1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's a fun place - a really nice place. Let's call it excitement!
10. 11. 2022 20:49
10. 11. 2022 12:49 CET 		1 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.
10. 11. 2022 20:49
10. 11. 2022 12:49 CET 		1 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.
10. 11. 2022 20:48
10. 11. 2022 12:48 CET 		1 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.
10. 11. 2022 20:48
10. 11. 2022 12:48 CET 		1 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.
10. 11. 2022 20:48
10. 11. 2022 12:48 CET 		1 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.
10. 11. 2022 20:48
10. 11. 2022 12:48 CET 		1 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.
10. 11. 2022 20:47
10. 11. 2022 12:47 CET 		1 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...
10. 11. 2022 20:47
10. 11. 2022 12:47 CET 		1 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.
10. 11. 2022 20:47
10. 11. 2022 12:47 CET 		1 flash info (21 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): It was a bit slippery! No worries - it's nice to do a stage in the dark.
10. 11. 2022 20:47
10. 11. 2022 12:47 CET 		1 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.
10. 11. 2022 20:46
10. 11. 2022 12:46 CET 		1 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.
10. 11. 2022 20:46
10. 11. 2022 12:46 CET 		1 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.
10. 11. 2022 20:46
10. 11. 2022 12:46 CET 		1 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.
