17. 07. 2022 14:27 CET
24 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was great again. Thanks to Jonne - it was a difficult weekend but we drove really well. Thanks to the team and everybody who is making the car really fast - we worked really hard in the tests to be competitive. And thanks to Akio Toyoda - it's great to be in the team and we will continue to push forward.
17. 07. 2022 15:19
17. 07. 2022 14:19 CET
24 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been a very fast pace form the word 'go'. We've enjoyed it a lot of the time, but not all - the weather has been teicky at times! I have to take my hat off to Kalle - I had no answer to his speed, but I think we were all still driving pretty well.
17. 07. 2022 15:19
17. 07. 2022 14:19 CET
24 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Obviously we know what we need to do, we just need to start doing it. The potential is there. It was a very challenging end to the rally and in the previous stage I lost the rear brakes. Conditions in here are very tricky, so the brakes were the least of our problems!
17. 07. 2022 15:08
17. 07. 2022 14:08 CET
24 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I couldn't see anything from 1km after the start due to fogged windscreen. I just tried to get to the end.
17. 07. 2022 15:05
17. 07. 2022 14:05 CET
24 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Five times I have tried Rally Estonia and finally I finished it! Huge thanks to the team - they fixed the car after shakedown and all the mechanics worked so hard. Of course I was struggling a lot but at the end I had quite a good feeling with the car.
17. 07. 2022 15:02
17. 07. 2022 14:02 CET
24 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It wasn't nice - probably the most difficult stage I have ever done. I was aquaplaning everywhere, so Lappi has done a good job. I am happy with my rally - it was only this stage that wasn't good.
17. 07. 2022 14:56
17. 07. 2022 13:56 CET
24 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Horrible! It's the most difficult gravel stage I have ever done. There is so much water in the ruts and it was out of my control, but we survived.
17. 07. 2022 14:55
17. 07. 2022 13:55 CET
24 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): On a right-hander I had way too much ALS push. I couldn't get it stopped and I had to go on the grass. It was a very long and tough weekend. To build the confidence in the car has been very difficult and we have a lot of work to do to be on the proper level, but the team has done everything they can.
17. 07. 2022 14:54
17. 07. 2022 13:54 CET
24 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I was just trying my best but everything was fogging up. A difficult weekend - we lost Malcolm Wilson's mum, Pearl, last night. For everybody in the service park, she was very much a Mother Hubbard - especially for the M-Sport family. We're thinking of her.
17. 07. 2022 14:44
17. 07. 2022 13:44 CET
24 flash info (29 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): This stage is really horrible. There was heavy rain and I couldn't see anything, so it was really difficult.
17. 07. 2022 14:42
17. 07. 2022 13:42 CET
24 flash info (27 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): It was raining so heavily at one point and we couldn't see. The car was aquaplaning so much but we survived. It was a very cautious run.
17. 07. 2022 14:37
17. 07. 2022 13:37 CET
24 flash info (20 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I was on two cylinders...
17. 07. 2022 14:33
17. 07. 2022 13:33 CET
24 (20 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): engine problems
17. 07. 2022 14:32
17. 07. 2022 13:32 CET
24 flash info (21 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): I don't know. I tried to go as fast as I could, but there was a lot of water in the lines and I had a lot of aquaplaning. Normally it's the opposite way and we start last.
17. 07. 2022 14:20
17. 07. 2022 13:20 CET
24 Starting order: Mikkelsen, Suninen, Lindholm, Huttunen, Breen, Solberg, Lappi, Fourmaux, Katsuta, Neuville, Tänak, Evans, Rovanperä
17. 07. 2022 14:19
17. 07. 2022 13:19 CET
24 heavy rain
17. 07. 2022 13:31
17. 07. 2022 12:31 CET
23 retired (26 - Bulacia Marco / Vallejo Diego): accident in SS 23
17. 07. 2022 13:30
17. 07. 2022 12:30 CET
23 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): The weather is not so enjoyable now. Really difficult at the beginning with a lot of standing water and a scary feeling in the car all the time.
17. 07. 2022 13:30
17. 07. 2022 12:30 CET
23 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Feeling relieved to be honest. It was bad, but you never know how worse it can get - in some places there was no grip at all. You have to keep going because you know that, if someone has better conditions, they can have a real push.
17. 07. 2022 13:30
17. 07. 2022 12:30 CET
23 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Let's see. We need to get to the finish of the Power Stage first.
17. 07. 2022 13:29
17. 07. 2022 12:29 CET
23 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have zero confidence in these conditions with the car. It's incredible. We are driving like on ice.
17. 07. 2022 13:29
17. 07. 2022 12:29 CET
23 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's all good. At the start it was raining very heavily and in that kind of moment you are not looking forward to start.
17. 07. 2022 13:29
17. 07. 2022 12:29 CET
23 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I was quite careful. We had heavy rain and the grip was low and changing a lot. The last part was okay, but it was very tricky.
17. 07. 2022 13:29
17. 07. 2022 12:29 CET
23 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's a shiny road, so it doesn't give you much confidence. The grip is generally okay but in some places there are surprises.
17. 07. 2022 13:28
17. 07. 2022 12:28 CET
23 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): The centre console fell off and it hit the ignition button. Elliott tried to put it back and it stopped, so it was a bit dangerous!
17. 07. 2022 13:28
17. 07. 2022 12:28 CET
23 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's actually quite tricky. There are some places in the forest that are quite wet and if you're on the limit you could get caught out quite easily.
17. 07. 2022 13:28
17. 07. 2022 12:28 CET
22 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's always difficult when the rain is coming, but let's see how it will be in the Power Stage - that's far away from here. It will be interesting for sure.
17. 07. 2022 13:28
17. 07. 2022 12:28 CET
22 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's pretty rough at the start there now and easy to debead a tyre or something like that. It's not so exciting to be honest.
17. 07. 2022 13:27
17. 07. 2022 12:27 CET
22 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's been a long weekend and a tough job. It's been a shame as well - we had so much support. Let's see - we'll carry on.
17. 07. 2022 13:27
17. 07. 2022 12:27 CET
22 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay. I really struggled to drive the car all weekend and it's very difficult to be consistent. I was trying to manage the wheelspin and save the tyres for the Power Stage.
17. 07. 2022 13:27
17. 07. 2022 12:27 CET
22 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We have to be at the end of the rally to score points for the team. We are trying to stay focused but we are not taking any big risks.
17. 07. 2022 13:27
17. 07. 2022 12:27 CET
22 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The grip was much better than in the morning. We had a clean stage.
17. 07. 2022 13:26
17. 07. 2022 12:26 CET
22 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It hasn't been easy this morning. I am lacking a lot of grip and we don't have any traction in the car. It's very hard at the moment.
17. 07. 2022 13:26
17. 07. 2022 12:26 CET
22 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): We're just trying to set it up for the Power Stage. The first time over it felt pretty nice, so we'll try our best.
17. 07. 2022 13:26
17. 07. 2022 12:26 CET
21 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Let's see how the conditions will be on the second pass. Now we need to save the tyres for the Power Stage and see what we can do. The stage was nice - we had a lot of grip.
17. 07. 2022 13:25
17. 07. 2022 12:25 CET
21 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Quite soft in places, and the car is being snatched from one direction to the other quite easily. It's not easy.
17. 07. 2022 13:25
17. 07. 2022 12:25 CET
21 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Honestly, far from good...
17. 07. 2022 13:25
17. 07. 2022 12:25 CET
21 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I got caught in a mid-speed left-hander. I went a bit wide and lost the rear - I couldn't do anything. We need to work on the seat somehow - it completely moved and now I am sitting offset from the steering wheel!
17. 07. 2022 13:25
17. 07. 2022 12:25 CET
21 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): was out of road
17. 07. 2022 13:24
17. 07. 2022 12:24 CET
21 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was a very enjoyable stage, but some places are incredibly slippery. I thought the time would be pretty bad but it's actually quite good.
17. 07. 2022 13:24
17. 07. 2022 12:24 CET
21 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): All okay. We are not taking any risks and we want to finish the rally like that.
17. 07. 2022 13:24
17. 07. 2022 12:24 CET
21 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It feels okay, but when I try to piush, the road is not wide enough. It feels impossible to drive really fast at the moment.
17. 07. 2022 13:24
17. 07. 2022 12:24 CET
21 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): The car is not so good on these roads. It's very fast and precise, and it's so loose being at the front on the road. In some places I just have no grip.
17. 07. 2022 13:24
17. 07. 2022 12:24 CET
21 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): For sure, there's a lot of cleaning. I had a 70 per cent run through the stage to make sure the notes were all correct for later on.
17. 07. 2022 13:23
17. 07. 2022 12:23 CET
20 retired (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): technical problem - transmission after SS 20
17. 07. 2022 13:22
17. 07. 2022 12:22 CET
20 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was a tricky one - a lot of line from the guys in front going wide everywhere. I felt like there was no grip on the car at all and I tried to make it through without any mistakes.
17. 07. 2022 13:22
17. 07. 2022 12:22 CET
20 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I came in a bit hot, but the rear snapped away violently under braking. It was better to let it spin because we had plenty of space.
17. 07. 2022 13:22
17. 07. 2022 12:22 CET
20 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): There are many fundamental things that didn't go right during the car's development and now we are having to progress them as we go.
17. 07. 2022 13:21
17. 07. 2022 12:21 CET
20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): On a junction I went a bit wide and I was a bit cautious on the last section. I really have no grip, so it's very hard to be fast.
17. 07. 2022 13:21
17. 07. 2022 12:21 CET
20 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's good. I feel quite comfortable, but I still have room for more pushing. I can be faster in the next run and I am quite confident.
17. 07. 2022 13:21
17. 07. 2022 12:21 CET
20 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's really, really easy to get wide and lose time. There is a lot of sweeping, but it's okay. I enjoyed that.
17. 07. 2022 13:21
17. 07. 2022 12:21 CET
20 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Really nice. The conditions are beautiful and the surface is very consistent. I enjoyed it.
17. 07. 2022 13:20
17. 07. 2022 12:20 CET
20 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I'm not exactly sure what's wrong, but it's something with the transmission I think.
17. 07. 2022 13:20
17. 07. 2022 12:20 CET
20 (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): was out of road
17. 07. 2022 13:23
17. 07. 2022 12:23 CET
19 retired (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): damaged suspension after SS 19
17. 07. 2022 13:19
17. 07. 2022 12:19 CET
19 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was not an enjoyable stage, but we made it through. That was the only thing we wanted to do and hopefully we can enjoy the loop of stages now.
17. 07. 2022 13:19
17. 07. 2022 12:19 CET
19 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's okay. It was a pretty careful run - there are so many stones and it's hard to know exactly where they are.
17. 07. 2022 13:19
17. 07. 2022 12:19 CET
19 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's just a track - nothing fun in there. A clean stage.
17. 07. 2022 13:19
17. 07. 2022 12:19 CET
19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): A clean stage for us. I was quite careful in there to not damage any tyres because the day is quite long with only five tyres. I am looking towards the Power Stage, but I'm not sure we are going to take a lot of points there.
17. 07. 2022 13:18
17. 07. 2022 12:18 CET
19 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's all okay, I was just very careful. Loubet had a hit but these kind of things can happen easily on this stage. I will push in the next one - it's no problem.
17. 07. 2022 13:18
17. 07. 2022 12:18 CET
19 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I was just playing with the car and trying to enjoy it. It's an interesting time, so I am happy.
17. 07. 2022 13:18
17. 07. 2022 12:18 CET
19 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Pretty okay. I am missing a few of the cuts - I was not deep enough. A clean stage.
17. 07. 2022 13:18
17. 07. 2022 12:18 CET
19 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): On the rocks, I touched one and broke the wheel. I don't know - we will see if we can fix it.
17. 07. 2022 13:17
17. 07. 2022 12:17 CET
19 (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): damaged suspension
17. 07. 2022 13:17
17. 07. 2022 12:17 CET
19 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I'm just trying a few things today to see if we can make a few improvements.
17. 07. 2022 13:17
17. 07. 2022 12:17 CET
19 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): There's a lot of cleaning and the Tarmac is very slippery. It's not an easy stage, but it felt clean and good.
16. 07. 2022 18:47
16. 07. 2022 17:47 CET
17 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Of course I am just driving and this one was quite tough with big ruts. It was a clean stage from us, but nothing crazy.
16. 07. 2022 18:47
16. 07. 2022 17:47 CET
17 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Realistically now there's quite a big gap. In this rally you need to be consistently chipping in the times and to be fair to Kalle, I've had no answer this afternoon - and even all day, to be fair. He's done very well so far.
16. 07. 2022 18:47
16. 07. 2022 17:47 CET
17 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): There's only one day remaining and there's nothing to push for. The rally is still quite interesting - the conditions are constantly changing and we still need to keep focused.
16. 07. 2022 18:46
16. 07. 2022 17:46 CET
17 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's been quite tricky to enjoy today after the puncture. It would be stupid to make a mistake now, but on the other hand, if you don't push then you lose the driving rhythm completely.
16. 07. 2022 18:28
16. 07. 2022 17:28 CET
17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Quite rutted in there, but a bit more consistent than the first pass. An easy run through for us.
16. 07. 2022 18:28
16. 07. 2022 17:28 CET
17 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I just had a clean drive. I tried to be a bit more confident in the ruts, but it's still hard to find the balance between pushing and being careful.
16. 07. 2022 18:25
16. 07. 2022 17:25 CET
17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Of course, I have many things to improve but it's getting better a bit. Not as bad as yesterday, but I will need to work hard.
16. 07. 2022 18:24
16. 07. 2022 17:24 CET
17 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's been okay. The stages, no matter what, are really enjoyable. But this afternoon they have been really rough.
16. 07. 2022 18:23
16. 07. 2022 17:23 CET
17 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I was always out of the ruts. I am struggling a lot and it was not very enjoyable today. When it's like this, you don't know what to do.
16. 07. 2022 18:23
16. 07. 2022 17:23 CET
17 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was quite slippery in the beginning and in the middle I was a bit too careful. It was not the best stage.
16. 07. 2022 18:23
16. 07. 2022 17:23 CET
17 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): We've had a really nice day. The car felt amazing, but it's hard to compare with our road position. I'm happy and I'm enjoying it, so [hopefully] more of the same tomorrow.
16. 07. 2022 18:23
16. 07. 2022 17:23 CET
16 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We are just driving a good pace - there are not so many risks or anything. I think this is a good way to go.
16. 07. 2022 18:23
16. 07. 2022 17:23 CET
16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Pretty difficult to be honest. The ruts were really quite bad. Not easy.
16. 07. 2022 18:22
16. 07. 2022 17:22 CET
16 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Really rough. Again, much more than we expected. The car was far too low so I was just driving to survive.
16. 07. 2022 18:22
16. 07. 2022 17:22 CET
16 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I just drove slower. The ruts were really deep and the car is way too low. We just went safely.
16. 07. 2022 18:22
16. 07. 2022 17:22 CET
16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): To be honest, none of the stages I really like. In the second pass they are really rutted and it's not so much fun.
16. 07. 2022 17:37
16. 07. 2022 16:37 CET
16 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We had a lot of rain, so I was a bit careful because I was worried the grip would change a lot. It's a lot of time lost, but it's okay - we are still here.
16. 07. 2022 17:37
16. 07. 2022 16:37 CET
16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was quite an enjoyable stage, but in some high-speed sections there are very deep ruts. The car is very unstable so it was very scary in a few places.
16. 07. 2022 17:37
16. 07. 2022 16:37 CET
16 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The ruts are incredibly deep and we don't have the ground clearance. It just pushed me out of the line.
16. 07. 2022 17:37
16. 07. 2022 16:37 CET
16 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): With the rain it was tricky. I took no risks - I don't know what to do.
16. 07. 2022 17:37
16. 07. 2022 16:37 CET
16 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I had a massive moment - there was a big rut and the car bottomed out completely. With the rain and the slow wipers I couldn't see anything.
16. 07. 2022 17:36
16. 07. 2022 16:36 CET
16 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I'll be the first person to praise this rally, but after the first pass the anti-cut pole was taken out of it. I couldn't see it. Whoever was first on the road was going to hit that.
16. 07. 2022 17:36
16. 07. 2022 16:36 CET
16 (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): stopped in stage, continue
16. 07. 2022 17:36
16. 07. 2022 16:36 CET
16 (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): puncture
16. 07. 2022 17:35
16. 07. 2022 16:35 CET
16 (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): hit an anti-cut block
16. 07. 2022 17:08
16. 07. 2022 16:08 CET
15 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I don't know - I am just driving normally. Nothing crazy. There were big ruts and I was trying to look after the tyres, but it was nothing special.
16. 07. 2022 17:08
16. 07. 2022 16:08 CET
15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): All good.
16. 07. 2022 17:08
16. 07. 2022 16:08 CET
15 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Feeling great.
16. 07. 2022 17:07
16. 07. 2022 16:07 CET
15 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's only some corners where the ruts are really bad. We were on two wheels in one really tight corner, so they are a bit surprising sometimes.
16. 07. 2022 17:07
16. 07. 2022 16:07 CET
15 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's still a long way to go and I was just enjoying. I was quite careful in some of the ruts because I don't want to get a puncture. I can be quite happy with that time.
16. 07. 2022 16:40
16. 07. 2022 15:40 CET
15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): At the moment my confidence is building, but if it's raining in the next one I am not so sure.
16. 07. 2022 16:37
16. 07. 2022 15:37 CET
15 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Okay - no problems. It's quite rutted in places, but all fine.
16. 07. 2022 16:37
16. 07. 2022 15:37 CET
15 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It's okay, but I was sure I had a puncture at the beginning. I completely lost the rhythm.
16. 07. 2022 16:29
16. 07. 2022 15:29 CET
15 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): The first one was okay but in here I had so much understeer it's crazy. I am bottoming out a lot and I had one big moment - it's definitely not safe to drive.
16. 07. 2022 16:28
16. 07. 2022 15:28 CET
15 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's obviously a lot more rutted on this second pass and it's not so easy to manage, but it was okay.
16. 07. 2022 15:49
16. 07. 2022 14:49 CET
14 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I don't know what it is on this stage, but it never feels good. I felt like I left a lot of time there, but the time is still good - I don't know.
16. 07. 2022 15:45
16. 07. 2022 14:45 CET
14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Obviously we're trying, but it's not easy. I made a few small errors I there and got caught out in a few braking zones. It's the same for everyone.
16. 07. 2022 15:42
16. 07. 2022 14:42 CET
14 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Martin is never pushing me - I think it would be a bad idea for him to do that.
16. 07. 2022 15:40
16. 07. 2022 14:40 CET
14 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I think we have done some nice movements already for the fans - I don't want to repeat those! We can not do much testing for Finland because the surface is so different. I am trying to build the confidence and enjoy driving.
16. 07. 2022 15:38
16. 07. 2022 14:38 CET
14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are thinking and testing different things. It felt quite okay in this stage, but when the grip is changing I lose the positioning of the car and I have to correct. It's in those places where I lose the time because I stop the speed.
16. 07. 2022 15:35
16. 07. 2022 14:35 CET
14 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was a good stage for me - I am happy. I don't take risks and I just want to enjoy my stage.
16. 07. 2022 15:35
16. 07. 2022 14:35 CET
14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's better than this morning, but still some places are a bit tricky. It's very difficult to judge the way things are coming and I need to be more calm in some places, but it's all good.
16. 07. 2022 15:35
16. 07. 2022 14:35 CET
14 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's not so bad - better than the morning for sure. There's a huge tree stump in one of the cuts at the end. It's come out of the ground and I had to avoid it, but that could be interesting for a few people.
16. 07. 2022 15:35
16. 07. 2022 14:35 CET
14 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I tried to have a better feeling than this morning, but it's very tricky. In the forest it's wet and sometimes you lose the grip. I don't to take any risks - it's difficult in my position.
16. 07. 2022 15:21
16. 07. 2022 14:21 CET
14 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I was a bit too sideways! Now it's more slippery than before, but I had an okay feeling with the car. It's hard to know where to push and where not to push.
16. 07. 2022 15:17
16. 07. 2022 14:17 CET
14 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): The conditions are very tricky in there. It's muddy in places and I was surprised in a few places. The ruts are really soft and you can't really load the car into them much.
16. 07. 2022 13:34
16. 07. 2022 12:34 CET
13 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We have a good feeling now in the car. In the morning I was not as awake as I normally am and not where I wanted to be, but the last two were nice. The set-up was a bit better and I had more grip, so it was nice to drive.
16. 07. 2022 13:34
16. 07. 2022 12:34 CET
13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's hard to judge. It's pretty slippery in here and the grip is very changeable.
16. 07. 2022 13:34
16. 07. 2022 12:34 CET
13 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's very challenging and it was a big surprise for me. I didn't know anything about that.
16. 07. 2022 13:33
16. 07. 2022 12:33 CET
13 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Quite a tricky stage. The grip was changing hugely and sometimes you had nothing. I got caught out completely on one junction.
16. 07. 2022 13:33
16. 07. 2022 12:33 CET
13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): A clean loop for us. No real problems and we are trying to survive. Anything can happen and in the place we are, there is no reason to push. In the conditions like this it was actually quite fun in there.
16. 07. 2022 13:33
16. 07. 2022 12:33 CET
13 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was a clean loop for us. We are also checking pace notes and it was really tricky in that one, so I didn't take risks. The grip was very low with a lot of mud everywhere.
16. 07. 2022 13:33
16. 07. 2022 12:33 CET
13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I am just doing my job and it will be fine. It is getting better in some places but it also quite tricky. I am just trying to find the right confidence and feeling.
16. 07. 2022 13:32
16. 07. 2022 12:32 CET
13 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): After the puncture in the last one, we just want to get it to service. Nice and easy.
16. 07. 2022 13:32
16. 07. 2022 12:32 CET
13 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): Very difficult. It was like ice - I don't know. It was very tricky and I made two or three mistakes, so it was quite close.
16. 07. 2022 13:32
16. 07. 2022 12:32 CET
13 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was quite slippery. I took it easy because it is easy to do a mistake. I could push a bit more in a few places, but in many places I took it easy.
16. 07. 2022 13:32
16. 07. 2022 12:32 CET
13 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Relatively happy. The car feels really great and the conditions have been great., That last stage was one of the more tricky from the recce, but I really enjoyed it.
16. 07. 2022 13:31
16. 07. 2022 12:31 CET
12 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): The first two were tricky, but when the grip was there I felt much better with the car. We made some small changes before the stage and now it was quite enjoyable to drive.
16. 07. 2022 13:31
16. 07. 2022 12:31 CET
12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not great. At times things were working well, but in other places I was just a bit too careful. It's okay, but it could have been better.
16. 07. 2022 13:31
16. 07. 2022 12:31 CET
12 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I was careful this time. I have had too many punctures in this stage before, so I just came through safely.
16. 07. 2022 13:31
16. 07. 2022 12:31 CET
12 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Just on the landing, the rear tyre dropped from the rim. It doesn't matter - if you change a tyre on this kind of rally, it's done.
16. 07. 2022 13:30
16. 07. 2022 12:30 CET
12 (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): puncture
16. 07. 2022 13:30
16. 07. 2022 12:30 CET
12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The crack happened this morning in service, but it's getting bigger. We had a bad stage - the car was very strange and Martijn had a lot of pain after some landings, so we had to take it careful.
16. 07. 2022 13:30
16. 07. 2022 12:30 CET
12 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We will see. The rally is still very long so I am not really worried. It's quite surprising the speed you can carry in these corners, but I had a clean run and I didn't take risks.
16. 07. 2022 13:30
16. 07. 2022 12:30 CET
12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I got some info about Gus, but I just concentrated and it was no problem. It was a very nice stage and I enjoyed it a bit. It was very high-speed and flowing.
16. 07. 2022 13:29
16. 07. 2022 12:29 CET
12 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I was sideways over a jump and on the landing it debeaded.
16. 07. 2022 13:29
16. 07. 2022 12:29 CET
12 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was difficult. No grip for me and I have struggled a lot this morning to find the confidence.
16. 07. 2022 13:28
16. 07. 2022 12:28 CET
12 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I got some grass in the radiator. I had to stop and clear it because the engine temperature was really high.
16. 07. 2022 13:28
16. 07. 2022 12:28 CET
12 (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): stoppe in stage, continue

11 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was quite difficult to be honest. A lot of changes in the grip and there were some damp places. It was quite tricky overall
16. 07. 2022 13:26
16. 07. 2022 12:26 CET
11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The plan is always to do what we can. It was not a perfect run in here, but okay.
16. 07. 2022 13:26
16. 07. 2022 12:26 CET
11 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was a clean stage, but it's getting a bit slippery in there now with the rain.
16. 07. 2022 13:25
16. 07. 2022 12:25 CET
11 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It was pretty clean. There are always places to improve, but we made no mistakes. Everything is good.
16. 07. 2022 13:25
16. 07. 2022 12:25 CET
11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was an okay stage. I went a bit hard on some corners and hit the bank here and there, but at least it was fun.
16. 07. 2022 13:25
16. 07. 2022 12:25 CET
11 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was okay. We had a little bit of rain, but it was only light. We had a clean stage and we are quite happy. I think the conditions will be a bit different in the afternoon, but it was nice.
16. 07. 2022 13:25
16. 07. 2022 12:25 CET
11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I am not driving to my maximum and I am step by step trying to push. In the narrow parts I didn't take any risks.
16. 07. 2022 13:24
16. 07. 2022 12:24 CET
11 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was better, but I just tried to be clean after the first one. It wasn't a great stage but it was a clean one.
16. 07. 2022 13:24
16. 07. 2022 12:24 CET
11 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): For me it was very slippery, so I am surprised by the time. It's not very good, but okay - we continue.
16. 07. 2022 13:24
16. 07. 2022 12:24 CET
11 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was okay, but quite a tricky stage and very slippery. I was pushing in some places, but I was not soo good in some others. We are just driving.
16. 07. 2022 13:24
16. 07. 2022 12:24 CET
11 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): They're beautiful conditions, The road is really nice and fresh conditions. The car is amazing and I'm enjoying it.
16. 07. 2022 13:23
16. 07. 2022 12:23 CET
10 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I had a really bad stage to be honest. I was losing seconds everywhere and I am not happy with my run at all.
16. 07. 2022 13:23
16. 07. 2022 12:23 CET
10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was okay but I had a horrible start on the track. Other than that it wasn't too bad - grip was inconsistent, but it's all okay.
16. 07. 2022 13:22
16. 07. 2022 12:22 CET
10 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The feeling is okay. We were just a bit late in the service, so I have to work on the brakes, but the car is okay.
16. 07. 2022 13:22
16. 07. 2022 12:22 CET
10 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's a little different than on the last one yesterday. Easy to improve.
16. 07. 2022 13:22
16. 07. 2022 12:22 CET
10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The profile is a bit different in here. I felt a bit more confident despite it being a new stage, but I am missing a bit of grip now. We have to find a good compromise and carry on - we have the whole day to find a better set-up.
16. 07. 2022 13:22
16. 07. 2022 12:22 CET
10 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I was struggling a little bit with the set-up. We changed something yesterday and I think we need to go back. It's okay - I had a clean stage.
16. 07. 2022 13:21
16. 07. 2022 12:21 CET
10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The Tarmac section was very slippery, so basically on every corner I made a mistake! It's going to be a long day, so I need to think what I can do on each stage.
16. 07. 2022 13:21
16. 07. 2022 12:21 CET
10 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): At the beginning, there was a junction. I took it in third gear but it was closer to first! There was a very big jump as well and I was too far right and touched a bale. Not a good start.
16. 07. 2022 13:21
16. 07. 2022 12:21 CET
10 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I didn't drive very well in this one. I need to get the confidence back after yesterday and I was a bit careful.
16. 07. 2022 13:21
16. 07. 2022 12:21 CET
10 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): My arms are okay this morning! After Ypres last year with 85km on Tarmac and no power steering, nothing beats that. The car is getting better and better, but we still have a lot of work to do.
16. 07. 2022 13:20
16. 07. 2022 12:20 CET
10 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Quite beautiful. Of course, not the fastest, but it was a really enjoyable stage. I was quite messy at the start but it's all good fun.

15. 07. 2022 18:45 CET
9 flash info (21 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): It's been a very good day. I think we have been driving cleverly, like in the previous rallies. We pushed when we felt comfortable and played it safe when the risk of punctures was high with the ruts. We have a nice lead for tomorrow now, and hopefully we can have a good day. There's still a long way to go.
15. 07. 2022 19:39
15. 07. 2022 18:39 CET
9 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I didn't know that Rally GB was back in the championship! The conditions are terrible and it's really crazy.
15. 07. 2022 19:31
15. 07. 2022 18:31 CET
9 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I think it's been really consistent in terms of our pace. In the morning we lost more time because of the brake issue, but we survived. The afternoon has been much better.
15. 07. 2022 19:31
15. 07. 2022 18:31 CET
9 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I don't know why - I completely lost grip. It was very strange.
15. 07. 2022 19:27
15. 07. 2022 18:27 CET
9 (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): rolled
15. 07. 2022 19:27
15. 07. 2022 18:27 CET
9 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): In the arena section just after a jump, I aquaplaned straight on. We managed to keep it going and we lost time, but it could have been worse.
15. 07. 2022 19:22
15. 07. 2022 18:22 CET
9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I think you can see what the story is. We were in the bushes right at the start, so after that it was a case of making sure we got through. There's nothing you can do when the conditions are like that.
15. 07. 2022 19:21
15. 07. 2022 18:21 CET
9 (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): was out of road
15. 07. 2022 19:18
15. 07. 2022 18:18 CET
9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): If I am honest, it has not been a really good day for me. I tried to step by step improve but obviously I have many things to work on, especially in these tricky conditions. Tomorrow, if the conditions are more stable, I will try to push more.
15. 07. 2022 19:17
15. 07. 2022 18:17 CET
9 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): A pipe came off the heater and we had no visibility.
15. 07. 2022 19:15
15. 07. 2022 18:15 CET
9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know if we can change a lot. We are a bit stuck with what we have at the moment. The target is to keep close to the podium and see what happens at the front. It's part of the game.
15. 07. 2022 19:15

9 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): The afternoon was good. I was happy that we could use our starting position a bit better and start to push a bit more when we had the grip. It will be interesting to see what happens to the guys behind.

8 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We spin in a junction and we had to use reverse to go back. The wipers are stuck on the windscreen now, so it wasn't easy but we managed it. It's part of the experience and these things happen.

15. 07. 2022 17:37 CET
8 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I did what I could. I saw some bad ruts and it was tricky, especially in the places where you have dark mud. If you take these places flat then you can make time, but I went just safely through.
15. 07. 2022 18:37
15. 07. 2022 17:37 CET
8 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I have no wipers.
15. 07. 2022 18:37
15. 07. 2022 17:37 CET
8 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): We've not got to the bottom of the issue, but we did some checks, swapped a tyre and made sure everything was tight. To be honest, it did feel a lot better in there.
15. 07. 2022 18:36
15. 07. 2022 17:36 CET
8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): For me it was pretty difficult at the start with quite heavy rain. From mid-way it seemed to get better but it was very slippery at the start.
15. 07. 2022 18:36
15. 07. 2022 17:36 CET
8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Of course I am not really happy, but some sections are really tricky. Everything is fine, but I was a bit careful. It's better to continue like this for one more stage and then we can continue tomorrow.
15. 07. 2022 18:36
15. 07. 2022 17:36 CET
8 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): There was no rain for us, so it was clean.
15. 07. 2022 18:36
15. 07. 2022 17:36 CET
8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had an okay stage and we will carry on.

15. 07. 2022 17:35 CET
8 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): The beginning was really tricky with a lot of standing water but the middle and end parts were actually quite enjoyable.

15. 07. 2022 16:57
15. 07. 2022 15:57 CET
7 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We had heavy rain at the start and it was really slippery. The view was quite nice because there was still some sun and we could see the drops! We made some changes with the set-up but we went too far, so we have to come back a little bit.
15. 07. 2022 16:57
15. 07. 2022 15:57 CET
7 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I think it was a tree stump or a rock that got pulled out. I didn't see it anyway, but I felt it! I lost the power steering. This weekend is not going to plan - it's getting worse and worse.
15. 07. 2022 16:50
15. 07. 2022 15:50 CET
7 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Full rain. The visibility was a bit on the edge sometimes and the grip was incredibly bad in some sections. The braking sections are fully muddy, but the time is quite okay considering that.
15. 07. 2022 16:50
15. 07. 2022 15:50 CET
7 (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): hit a boulder
15. 07. 2022 16:49
15. 07. 2022 15:49 CET
7 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): We struggled. The windscreen wipers are not working. It's like in Portugal - I don't know.
15. 07. 2022 16:41
15. 07. 2022 15:41 CET
7 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): There's so much mud at the back, it's hard to see what's wrong. I'll have another look but there's something not right. Maybe the suspension geometry or something.
15. 07. 2022 16:41
15. 07. 2022 15:41 CET
7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was quite slippery, especially towards the end there. I was struggling in the ruts - it's a very, very soft stage. I didn't have the best feeling and the rain obviously didn't help.
15. 07. 2022 16:37
15. 07. 2022 15:37 CET
7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It wasn't so good. At the end of the stage it started to rain heavily. I was a bit careful and I also had a big hit on the front right. After that the car didn't go straight, so I need to check that. It should be okay.
15. 07. 2022 16:34
15. 07. 2022 15:34 CET
7 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was not affecting so much. We missed a junction in there.
15. 07. 2022 16:34
15. 07. 2022 15:34 CET
7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am watching my own rally at the moment. It's very hard to get the confidence and we are moving all around. I still have the feeling sometimes that we are driving on the limit so we still have to be careful.
15. 07. 2022 16:33
15. 07. 2022 15:33 CET
7 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): The driving line feels like there is no grip at all. Even when there is no mud, it's still really slippery. It's tricky having to open the road all the time.

6 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): At the beginning, the ground was quite compact and there were not much ruts. But at the end it was very rutted and I didn't take any big risks.
15. 07. 2022 16:00
15. 07. 2022 15:00 CET
6 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I don't know where it happened - maybe 8km from the end. On the straight it started to go down on the wide section.

15. 07. 2022 14:56 CET
6 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's definitely better than in the morning! The team fixed the brakes but these are pretty rough conditions. A lot of grip changes and it's not easy at all, but at least the car is behaving well.
15. 07. 2022 15:55
15. 07. 2022 14:55 CET
6 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It's much better - the car is feeling good now. It's very easy to do a mistake in all the ruts.
15. 07. 2022 15:55
15. 07. 2022 14:55 CET
6 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): A slow puncture. I had to back off because I didn't want to damage the car like I did in Kenya.

15. 07. 2022 14:55 CET
6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Pretty difficult. The grip is changing all the time with the standing water, but that's how it is.
15. 07. 2022 15:54
15. 07. 2022 14:54 CET
6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I wanted to try a bit in the afternoon, but if the other stages are like this then I have to accept what I can do. Quite tricky in some places and the ruts are very unstable, so it's not very enjoyable.
15. 07. 2022 15:54
15. 07. 2022 14:54 CET
6 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Quite slippery, actually. It's not working at all.
15. 07. 2022 15:54
15. 07. 2022 14:54 CET
6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The conditions are tricky and I have no confidence in the car. I do not trust and I know I can not fight with the guys at the front this weekend. I have to stay clever and try to bring the car home - that's my main target.
15. 07. 2022 15:54
15. 07. 2022 14:54 CET
6 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Quite tricky to be honest. There was some rain going on the stage before we went and it was a bit muddy in places with some standing water in the ruts. I think it's not so bad, but the standing water will be cleaning for the guys behind.
15. 07. 2022 15:52

5 retired (23 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): health problems after SS 5

15. 07. 2022 12:47 CET
5 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): This one is a little bit slower, but it was a clean stage for us and I am happy with the time and driving. I was a little more careful because there are some rocks and the grip was changing all the time. I am really happy with the loop and how it went.
15. 07. 2022 13:46
15. 07. 2022 12:46 CET
5 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I don't know - we just have to work and I have to work. The pace is not great, so I honestly don't know. I am trying everything I can and doing a lot of different things, but I just have no grip at all. We have to look into it and understand why. Be positive - that's all I can do.
15. 07. 2022 13:46
15. 07. 2022 12:46 CET
5 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): We just need to get the driving back on the right way this afternoon and then do a good pace throughout the weekend after that.
15. 07. 2022 13:46
15. 07. 2022 12:46 CET
5 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I just braked too late and I was thinking the grip was higher, but no! It's a small mistake - we lost a bit of time - but it's not so bad.
15. 07. 2022 13:45
15. 07. 2022 12:45 CET
5 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): That's one of the nice things as a driver about coming to Estonia - we have so many different stages to drive and this one is one of my favourites.
15. 07. 2022 13:45
15. 07. 2022 12:45 CET
5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been pretty good overall. The car is working well and I have confidence behind the wheel, so that's good. We need to keep it up this afternoon - everything could look completely different and you can't take anything for granted.
15. 07. 2022 13:45
15. 07. 2022 12:45 CET
5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): A bit of a shame that I lost quite a lot this morning, but that was the only way I could start this rally because many things happened the last few years. It's getting better and I just want to continue like that. Everybody is trying, but I will try to ignore it and just do my job.
15. 07. 2022 13:45
15. 07. 2022 12:45 CET
5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We made some changes and basically came back. I am driving very hard, but it's more like fighting and not driving very fast. I am looking to have a good lunch and then we will go again.
15. 07. 2022 13:45
15. 07. 2022 12:45 CET
5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I nearly spun on the first corner already and under slippery braking I have no traction. We took some steps to make the car stiffer and more precise but we went too far.
15. 07. 2022 13:44
15. 07. 2022 12:44 CET
5 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's been good. Nothing special really - we did what we could being the first car on the road. It was pretty slippery, but we are here. Let's see how tricky the second pass will be.
15. 07. 2022 13:43
15. 07. 2022 12:43 CET

4 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I was enjoying so much in this stage. It's a beautiful stage and it's so fast - you can easily make a mistake. You have to stay in the line all the time, but I was enjoying a lot.
15. 07. 2022 13:43
15. 07. 2022 12:43 CET
4 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I don't know. I have no grip - at all! I tried, but there is no confidence at all.

15. 07. 2022 12:42 CET
4 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's very tricky and I need to change my driving style completely to try to manage. When you left foot brake, you have nothing. Normally I do that and now I can not do it. For the brain it's a bit tricky, but we are managing.
15. 07. 2022 13:42
15. 07. 2022 12:42 CET
4 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was difficult because we lost a lot of downforce. Not easy in a section like that, but it's okay. We will continue, do some changes, and the afternoon will be better.
15. 07. 2022 13:42
15. 07. 2022 12:42 CET
4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The braking grip was very difficult to judge and we probably judged it a bit too late to be fair! We got it stopped, but it's tricky in here.
15. 07. 2022 13:42
15. 07. 2022 12:42 CET
4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I am not fully happy, but we are step by step getting better. It's okay, but more slippery than I expected.

4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We made some changes, but I was fighting a lot to keep it straight. I am struggling a lot with these dampers as well - the car is are moving a lot. We need to work on that.
15. 07. 2022 13:40
15. 07. 2022 12:40 CET
4 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was not so bad in the beginning on the new road. The grip was higher than I expected and I think I was not so good on the beginning of the stage and it was quite loose, but I did everthing I could with the grip.

3 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Honestly, really interesting, mix of really fast, still quite narrow, new part is really narrow, grip is really challenging but I really enjoyed driving it.
15. 07. 2022 13:38
15. 07. 2022 12:38 CET
3 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I found this one even more difficult. Different conditions and I didn’t like to drive at all. It’s OK.
15. 07. 2022 13:38
15. 07. 2022 12:38 CET
3 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Not really, same issue still, maybe even worse. I am not sure what is wrong but I have the feeling we need to change the brakes at the service.
15. 07. 2022 13:37
15. 07. 2022 12:37 CET
3 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I was in a rut, when I tried to go to the right the car did not come.

15. 07. 2022 12:37 CET
3 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The car actually feels like it is working pretty well but I'm really struggling to just find the rhythm and find confidence so it is not going so well at the moment.
15. 07. 2022 13:37
15. 07. 2022 12:37 CET
3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): A bit more comfortable now, used to the speed, I felt some places to improve at the start.
15. 07. 2022 13:36
15. 07. 2022 12:36 CET
3 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): That was cleaning enough. I was not near enough committed. I was just too sideways in places trying to be too aggressive.
15. 07. 2022 13:36
15. 07. 2022 12:36 CET
3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is OK, this stage I did not drive last year. Step by step. Next two stages I have experience on.

15. 07. 2022 12:36 CET
3 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Back to normal, nothing special, do not know what happened. Tricky in the woods, couple of mistakes but generally a clean run.

15. 07. 2022 12:36 CET
3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don’t feel so comfortable with the rear yet. I’m driving quite clean with a good speed. and I think that’s the best approach for us at the moment. Kalle and Ott are really fast and I hope we can be in the fight with Craig.
15. 07. 2022 13:35
15. 07. 2022 12:35 CET
3 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): This one is cleaning a lot. The grip is much worse than I was thinking, The stage is drying up quite quickly. The beginning is cleaning a lot for the guys so I think we will lose a lot of time.

15. 07. 2022 12:33 CET
2 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I cannot explain. I'm missing the braking bite completely. The surface is OK but something strange with the pads. It feels it doesn't bite when I press the pedal so taking the confidence out.

15. 07. 2022 12:33 CET
2 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was difficult, not a perfect stage. I was trying to be clean but not enough pushing.

15. 07. 2022 12:33 CET
2 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It wasn't a good stage. I never found a good rhythm and my braking points were not in the right place. Not a good start.

1 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's always difficult to think back in time. We have been doing our best since last year, but for sure, it's nice to be back. Hopefully we can make a good result again.

1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We hope for a trouble-free event and we just want to have some fun and go as fast as possible on these beautiful roads. I have never been 100 per cent confident on these roads, but we'll see. Last year we ended up on the podium, so hopefully we can do that again.

1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The event is fun. Outside the car it can be quite good, so let's see. On this stage I was stuck in a gear and things like this don't give you much confidence.

14. 07. 2022 20:21 CET
1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Roll on shakedown is not affecting my confidence too much because I have a very good feeling in the car. It was a small mistake and I can not take that feeling into the rally. I want to bring back a result to say thanks to the guys who fixed the car.

14. 07. 2022 20:18 CET
1 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Let's see. I was so careful of all the rocks in there and I was trying to be as clean as I could. It's a good start to the weekend and I am looking forward to tomorrow. These are amazing stages and I can let my hair down - flat to the square right.
14. 07. 2022 21:15
14. 07. 2022 20:15 CET
1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm looking forward to this weekend. The car felt pretty good in shakedown, but obviously the big job starts tomorrow.
14. 07. 2022 21:11
14. 07. 2022 20:11 CET
1 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): In shakedown the car felt mega and it feels really good again in there. I'm looking forward to it.

14. 07. 2022 20:07 CET
1 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): For sure, it's completely different for us this weekend. We will try to continue our progression and learn the feeling on these roads with this car. Step by step will be the main goal.

1 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I think our team principal has made it very clear there are no team orders. Definitely we can really do what we kind of want to, but I want to finish. That needs to be in our minds because two retirements in a row is not good.

14. 07. 2022 20:01 CET
1 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It's nice to be back on a proper gravel rally - it's been a very long time. I have won here twice before [in WRC2] and I had a great feeling a while ago, so hopefully I can get this feeling back.

14. 07. 2022 19:59 CET
1 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I want to enjoy this weekend. We have one of the most beautiful rallies of the season, so I need to find the pace. This one was a good practice and we had a clean run.
14. 07. 2022 20:55
14. 07. 2022 19:55 CET
1 flash info (20 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): We just need to have a good feeling in the car and high confidence. This rally is extremely fast but also narrow, so the line has to be precise.
14. 07. 2022 20:53
14. 07. 2022 19:53 CET
1 flash info (21 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): Everything was fine. It was quite slippery with less grip than I expected, but we had a clean stage. There are a lot of things to hit in that stage, so I just wanted to have a clean run.
14. 07. 2022 20:49
14. 07. 2022 19:49 CET
1 flash info (22 - Kaur Egon / Simm Silver): It's an awesome feeling. It has been a long time in the making to get a WRC event in Estonia and now it's becoming a regularity, so that's very nice.
14. 07. 2022 20:47
14. 07. 2022 19:47 CET
1 flash info (23 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's probably the smoothest stage we'll have all weekend, so it was good fun sliding around! The sun's out - hopefully it stays like that all weekend. It'll make things that little bit more enjoyable.
14. 07. 2022 20:45
14. 07. 2022 19:45 CET
1 flash info (24 - Linnamäe Georg / Drew Craig): Great fun! It's definitely an awesome experience to see what Kalle and Ogier have been feeling all these years! Definitely not easy.

14. 07. 2022 10:18 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I was surprised that the grip was quite high, but when you go out of the line there is a lot of mud. It's really nice to drive and quite fast, so it's fun.
14. 07. 2022 11:17
14. 07. 2022 10:17 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): We will see. It didn't feel great on the first run, but it's okay. It's fun to be back on these stages and this is my first fast gravel rally in a Rally1 car.
14. 07. 2022 11:17
14. 07. 2022 10:17 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It will be very challenging because of the conditions. It's hard to know what to expect - I have never done this rally in wet conditions, but I believe there will be a lot of surprises. We need to see how the conditions are and how it feels.
14. 07. 2022 11:17
14. 07. 2022 10:17 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): We want to continue our progression step by step and try to learn. It will be tricky, so we will try to do our best.
14. 07. 2022 11:17
14. 07. 2022 10:17 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The grip was slippery in places and once you break the top layer it begins to turn into mud. I think that will be quite a big factor for the weekend.
14. 07. 2022 11:17
14. 07. 2022 10:17 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm looking forward to it. It's not been the best rally for us in the past, but ultimately it comes down to the confidence and feeling in the car. So far, that's all okay in here. We don't know exactly what to expect this weekend, but it's looking okay.
14. 07. 2022 11:16
14. 07. 2022 10:16 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Let's see. It's obviously going to be a different rally this week compared to what we've seen in recent years. I'm looking forward to it and the car feels great.

14. 07. 2022 10:16 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I feel quite comfortable on these roads, but the conditions are going to be tricky. There seems to be quite okay grip in this stage and I was surprised. I need to be careful on Friday - especially in the technical sections - but everything will be good.
14. 07. 2022 11:16
14. 07. 2022 10:16 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): At the moment, it seems like the weather is also supporting us well! Everything is feeling okay, so it's good.

14. 07. 2022 10:16 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am not lying if I say it's not my favourite event. The next two rallies are very difficult for us, but we are going to do our best. It's not easy to start with the rain, but we will try to work on the car and create a good confidence for the start of the rally.

14. 07. 2022 10:15 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Hopefully the rain will help us a bit this weekend. For sure, all the places with loose gravel are quite slippery - even with the rain - but let's how it is tomorrow.
