Information

Date and time SS Information
07. 06. 2022 00:57 CET 18 retired (41 - Miele Mauro / Beltrame Luca): retired in SS 18
07. 06. 2022 00:56 CET 18 retired (60 - Dominguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): technical problem before SS 18
05. 06. 2022 09:01 CET 18 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Today the priority is to drive through and bring the car home.
05. 06. 2022 09:00 CET 18 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I tried to be very neat and tidy. I didn't know what Dani was going to do, so I kept it clean and neat. That makes things a bit easier now.
05. 06. 2022 09:00 CET 18 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It's very narrow. In the middle part it was very difficult to keep in the line and it's tricky. The last day in Sardinia is always hard, but we had a clean stage so it's good.
05. 06. 2022 09:00 CET 18 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was a very difficult stage. We just tried to go through and take no risks.
05. 06. 2022 08:59 CET 18 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We're just trying to save some tyres. It seems that I could go even slower, so I need to take it easy. We have some used softs now, so we need to save them a bit and see what we can do on the Power Stage.
05. 06. 2022 08:59 CET 18 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): All good. I didn't do anything - I was saving the tyres and avoiding punctures. There were some big rocks, but it's all good.
05. 06. 2022 08:59 CET 18 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The grip was quite high. We're just driving and learning to see what we can achieve.
05. 06. 2022 08:58 CET 18 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We're just getting through really. We're more focused on the next one.
05. 06. 2022 03:16 CET 17 retired (66 - Campagnoli Gabriele / Arena Nicola): retired in SS 17
05. 06. 2022 03:15 CET 17 retired (31 - Bulacia Bruno / Martí Marc): broken wheel in SS 17
05. 06. 2022 03:00 CET 17 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I got a red flag message, but I'm not really sure what's happening. Today was obviously very good. I had a great feeling in the car and after the first stage I was able to control the lead already. Like yesterday, it was not so bad.
05. 06. 2022 03:00 CET 17 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): In my notes, I put 'careful' and I braked very early but I think my tyres were dead! We can be happy - the car is working very well. It's a small but important day tomorrow.
05. 06. 2022 03:00 CET 17 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): A red flag is a red flag - it's quite clear what you have to do. It's a pity, but that's how it is.
05. 06. 2022 02:59 CET 17 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Today was nice, but I struggled and made some mistakes. Also in the stage before this one I had a problem in the water splash and we stalled the engine. Both Adrien and Alex are okay and it was not a big crash.
05. 06. 2022 02:59 CET 17 retired (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): accident in SS 17
05. 06. 2022 02:58 CET 17 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): In this one there was a lot of cleaning. Let's see how Adrien comes behind - I think it will clean a lot for him.
05. 06. 2022 02:58 CET 17 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The conditions are pretty horrible, especially being first on the road. The lines are pretty narrow and it's a lot harder. Happy to be through that one.
05. 06. 2022 03:14 CET 16 retired (23 - Bulacia Marco / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): technical problem after SS 16
05. 06. 2022 03:13 CET 16 retired (48 - Rosati Frédéric / Prévot Stéphane): retired in SS 16
05. 06. 2022 03:13 CET 16 retired (41 - Miele Mauro / Beltrame Luca): retired in SS 16
05. 06. 2022 03:12 CET 16 retired (35 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): retired in SS 16
05. 06. 2022 03:11 CET 16 retired (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): retired in SS 16
05. 06. 2022 02:58 CET 16 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It seems like the fastest way is if you are not pushing and just driving in the line. Honestly, I was really steady in this one. We don't need to push at the moment.
05. 06. 2022 02:56 CET 16 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It would be nice to get the podium position back, but we know what the target is. I am going to continue my way and with my feeling and we'll see.
05. 06. 2022 02:55 CET 16 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's all under control now. A beautiful stage. It felt like I was going incredibly slow, but we obviously must be doing something right.
05. 06. 2022 02:55 CET 16 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I had a problem in the watersplash and I stalled the car. I am so stupid, but I didn't go fast.
05. 06. 2022 02:54 CET 16 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I can see that Kalle is pushing. We will see - it will be interesting to stay in front of him for tomorrow. It's a shame about the puncture this morning but I am happy with my day.
05. 06. 2022 02:54 CET 16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We got some damage on the radiator and then we fixed it. Now it's okay, but we have to be very, very careful because it could break again. I have to kill the speed in all the jumps and all the water.
05. 06. 2022 02:54 CET 16 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was more clean than the first run. There were some rough places and I tried to be clever. Of course we have some places to gain, but it's also rough and I don't want to have any issues.
05. 06. 2022 02:54 CET 16 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): A lot more grip than the first pass, but I'm on road cleaning duties now
05. 06. 2022 02:51 CET 16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): problems with suspension
05. 06. 2022 03:10 CET 15 retired (65 - Barbati Giuseppe / Pollicino Marco): technical problem in SS 15
05. 06. 2022 02:51 CET 15 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It looks good. I am just driving very clean, always in the line with no pushing. It's working okay at the moment.
05. 06. 2022 02:50 CET 15 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): The grip was very low. I just tried to be very low at the end, but it's like that.
05. 06. 2022 02:50 CET 15 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): The giggling pin fell out of the laughing shaft, but I managed to put it back in again and now we're okay.
05. 06. 2022 02:49 CET 15 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I ran a little bit wide and it was very slippery. I touched the barriers and I am lucky to be here! I don't know how I did it.
05. 06. 2022 02:49 CET 15 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was really slippery. I made some small mistakes so I lost time and confidence, but it's okay.
05. 06. 2022 02:48 CET 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's a problem, but it's nothing very special. We are managing it.
05. 06. 2022 02:47 CET 15 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): On this one, the car and the balance is really hard to drive in the really loose conditions. I didn't want to push and I came through with no mistakes.
05. 06. 2022 02:47 CET 15 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): There's a lot of loose gravel in there. The last 1.5km is some of the slippiest gravel I've ever driven on.
05. 06. 2022 02:46 CET 15 (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was alright, actually. Same old story with how loose it is, but it's a nice stage.
05. 06. 2022 03:10 CET 14 retired (37 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Del Barrio Carlos): technical problem in SS 14
05. 06. 2022 03:09 CET 14 Stage was cancelled for rest of the field.
05. 06. 2022 03:08 CET 14 retired (26 - Cais Erik / Těšínský Petr): fire in SS 14
05. 06. 2022 02:46 CET 14 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I am very surprised. I always felt like I was losing a lot. I was really struggling with the engine - it's really difficult with the driveability - but the traction must have been good.
05. 06. 2022 02:46 CET 14 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): We are here and it's tricky. I don't think anybody is really pushing - you can't. We'll continue like this.
05. 06. 2022 02:45 CET 14 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Not so bad. We're having to drive around a little issue, but we're still here. What's the issue? Something...
05. 06. 2022 02:44 CET 14 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I was so stupid to put hard tyres on the rear. It's not good at all. I was struggling with the grip all the time - it's my mistake."
05. 06. 2022 02:44 CET 14 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We didn't lose the pressure, so I just tried to manage the tyre. It's a shame like that.
05. 06. 2022 02:43 CET 14 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's always nice to the Finnish fans supporting on the stage. For sure, when we have nothing to fight for then we are not pushing much. We could have been much faster.
05. 06. 2022 02:43 CET 14 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I'd like to save some soft tyres for tomorrow. We're not exactly fighting for much, but it's so, so difficult at the moment.
05. 06. 2022 02:42 CET 14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's going to be cleaning a lot in here. It's probably the worst of the day, I'd say. It's so thick in places and it drags you down, but there's not a lot we can do.
05. 06. 2022 09:03 CET 13 (27 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): puncture
05. 06. 2022 03:08 CET 13 retired (62 - Brazzoli Enrico / Fenoli Manuel): retired after SS 13
05. 06. 2022 03:07 CET 13 retired (22 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): retired after SS 13
05. 06. 2022 03:06 CET 13 retired (20 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): technical problem - engine in SS 13
05. 06. 2022 02:42 CET 13 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I don't know why it's happening. We were working on the car before the stage and maybe it wasn't closed so well. Sometimes I lost a bit of time because it was in the middle of my view.
05. 06. 2022 02:41 CET 13 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I was very careful because it was easy to get a puncture in some places, especially at the beginning. I am happy that we are here and now we have a long afternoon ahead of us.
05. 06. 2022 02:41 CET 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We had a nice jump, actually! It's fun to jump high, but we didn't break anything so it's okay.
05. 06. 2022 02:40 CET 13 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We just had a spin in a narrow and slow corner. I have been struggling the whole weekend in these kinds of slow places.
05. 06. 2022 02:40 CET 13 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): For sure, it was kind of surprising how rough it was. It's been rough in the past, but the new section of road that we're using seems to be digging up more.
05. 06. 2022 02:39 CET 13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was pretty rough and loose, but all okay.
05. 06. 2022 03:04 CET 12 Stage was cancelled.
05. 06. 2022 03:03 CET 12 Stage was stopped.
05. 06. 2022 03:02 CET 12 retired (29 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): accident in SS 12
05. 06. 2022 02:38 CET 12 retired (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): accident in SS 12
05. 06. 2022 03:01 CET 11 retired (54 - Romagna Simone / Addondi Luca): retired in SS 11
05. 06. 2022 02:38 CET 11 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We put mixed tyres on and they actually seemed to work nicely, so it was a good choice.
05. 06. 2022 02:38 CET 11 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I was very careful with the tyres because I had a puncture in the last one. I wanted to make sure I had a spare for the second loop.
05. 06. 2022 02:37 CET 11 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I didn't have as good a rhythm in there to be honest. The notes weren't quite as good, but still a good morning.
05. 06. 2022 02:37 CET 11 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Craig took a little bit out of me in the stage before, but I like this one more. He is starting a bit further back so it's better for him - I started further back yesterday, so now it's equal.
05. 06. 2022 02:36 CET 11 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was a tricky stage. I didn't find a good pace, actually. This morning it's not working, but it's okay.
05. 06. 2022 02:36 CET 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I have no idea what happened, but basically on a step over Tarmac the front bumper got stuck and we stalled. It's fine, but it was quite a big surprise.
05. 06. 2022 02:35 CET 11 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We had a bit more grip, so I tried to do better than before. For sure, in the low grip sections, it feels like I can't do anything with the car.
05. 06. 2022 02:35 CET 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage, but the tyres were starting to overheat and I had to manage the traction towards the end. Let's see how the second loop goes - we were able to take out a decent amount of time already in the first stage, so let's see how it goes.
05. 06. 2022 02:35 CET 11 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): We made some changes after the last stage and it seems to have made the car better, so at least we're heading in the right direction.
05. 06. 2022 02:34 CET 11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The surface is pretty bad. The last one was very low grip and in here it's even worse in places.
05. 06. 2022 02:34 CET 10 retired (63 - Marrone Francesco / Fresu Francesco): retired before SS 10
05. 06. 2022 02:31 CET 10 Stage cancelled.
05. 06. 2022 02:30 CET 10 Stage was cancelled because of crash st.no. 4.
05. 06. 2022 02:29 CET 10 retired (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): accident in SS 10
05. 06. 2022 02:29 CET 10 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Let's see how Esapekka is coming. I had a clean stage, so it's not so bad.
05. 06. 2022 02:28 CET 10 (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): puncture
05. 06. 2022 02:28 CET 10 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's my first time doing that stage, so I was trying to understand where we could push. It's so narrow, but we got through with no mistakes.
05. 06. 2022 02:28 CET 10 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It's very, very slippery. I tried my best, but I have no confidence in conditions like this. The rear is coming around too much and with soft tyres, it's difficult to handle the grip of the car.
05. 06. 2022 02:28 CET 10 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's a really technical stage. You can play with the car, but there are rocks everywhere and it's easy to get a puncture. The grip is low, so I'm happy to have three soft tyres.
05. 06. 2022 02:27 CET 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's going to be a tough day, so I just need to be smart like yesterday. Nothing else.
05. 06. 2022 02:27 CET 10 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I think more soft tyres here would have been better. Let's see how this next one is in the afternoon. Quite tricky - it feels like I can not keep the car in the line.
05. 06. 2022 02:27 CET 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage, but I lost a couple of seconds early in the stage.
05. 06. 2022 02:26 CET 10 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): No moments, I'm just really struggling with the car. I can't seem to keep it in the line and I'm driving really slowly.
05. 06. 2022 02:25 CET 10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's obviously very narrow, but also very loose with low grip. It's going to clean here, but that's to be expected.
03. 06. 2022 18:41 CET 9 Stage was cancelled.
03. 06. 2022 18:19 CET 8 Stage was cancelled.
03. 06. 2022 21:39 CET 7 retired (22 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): retired in SS 7
03. 06. 2022 18:23 CET 7 retired (25 - Rossel Yohan / Sarreaud Valentin): retired in SS 7
03. 06. 2022 18:19 CET 7 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I am really surprised because we decided to keep some good tyres for the afternoon and I tried to be careful in some places.
03. 06. 2022 18:19 CET 7 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was difficult, but I knew it would be the same for everybody.
03. 06. 2022 18:19 CET 7 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I am not really trying to push more! I think we had a sort of smart pace throughout the day and I am continuing to drive at that.
03. 06. 2022 18:18 CET 7 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It looked like we were faster. It was a good and clean run for me but I didn't take too many risks, especially on the bumps at the end. We will see what the times are like behind.
03. 06. 2022 18:18 CET 7 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's quite an enjoyable stage. Everything is quite outlined and once you get to a junction there's a new flow. It's a really enjoyable section of the rally.
03. 06. 2022 18:18 CET 7 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I had a little half spin on a hairpin, but apart from that it was okay.
03. 06. 2022 18:17 CET 7 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The transmission broke near the end and it feels like three-wheel drive. It was not fully broken, but it was under acceleration and braking.
03. 06. 2022 17:52 CET 7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's very slippery, so not an easy stage. The feeling is not so good.
03. 06. 2022 17:52 CET 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We don't have much to lose, so yes, we tried.
03. 06. 2022 17:51 CET 7 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): They are all really challenging, being the first car. Let's see how the times are - on this one I felt that I had a clean run with no mistakes. That's all we can do.
03. 06. 2022 21:39 CET 6 retired (56 - Díaz Aboitiz Miguel / Hereu Jordi): retired in SS 6
03. 06. 2022 18:22 CET 6 Stage was cancelled.
03. 06. 2022 18:22 CET 6 Stage was stopped because of fire of st.no.49.
03. 06. 2022 18:21 CET 6 retired (49 - Battut Laurent / Gressens Eric): fire in SS 6
03. 06. 2022 17:51 CET 6 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was very slippery... let's continue.
03. 06. 2022 17:51 CET 6 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's very hard to judge what speed you are doing on this stage. It felt pretty horrible but it seems like it's okay.
03. 06. 2022 17:50 CET 6 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was very slippery in places. I tried to do well, but maybe I was too careful in some places.
03. 06. 2022 17:50 CET 6 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): We tried some new things on the car and I'm trying to get used to it, but it's very difficult for me to be comfortable with. We'll see what we can do.
03. 06. 2022 17:50 CET 6 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): The car stalled on me in a left-hander and I had to restart it. It's very slippery and very challenging.
03. 06. 2022 17:49 CET 6 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's hard to say - these roads are cleaning a lot. It's quite a hard surface and maybe they will be fast behind, but I had a very good stage.
03. 06. 2022 17:49 CET 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Hard tyres should be okay, but it's still slippery because of some loose stuff. It's all good, but I need to be a bit careful.
03. 06. 2022 17:49 CET 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have nobody behind and there is a lot of cleaning in there, so with one spare wheel at least it helps a bit. It's going to be a tough afternoon and a tough weekend in general, because the frustration and disappointment is quite high for everybody.
03. 06. 2022 17:48 CET 6 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We thought when we were opening the road, soft tyres might help us. This one is really loose and it's going to clean up so much for the guys behind, but what can we do? We did our best.
03. 06. 2022 18:21 CET 5 retired (71 - Vacca Lorenzo / Fois Francesco): retired after SS 5
03. 06. 2022 13:02 CET 5 Stage was cancelled for all non-Rally1 crews due to safety reasons.
03. 06. 2022 13:02 CET 5 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Honestly, I thought I had a front right puncture because there was a rock in a rut and I couldn't avoid it. On the front left, I don't know. It was rough and there was rocks everywhere.
03. 06. 2022 13:02 CET 5 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It's okay. We just tried to stay in the line.
03. 06. 2022 13:02 CET 5 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It happened like 6km before the end. I have no idea why, but anyway, we didn't lose too much. I managed to keep some speed, but that's how it is.
03. 06. 2022 13:01 CET 5 (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): pncture
03. 06. 2022 13:01 CET 5 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was very slippery. I tried to manage it and I am more happy with the car. We made some adjustments and now we have some more grip.
03. 06. 2022 13:01 CET 5 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's not been so good. We'll take it a step at a time, make some changes and go again this afternoon. There's still plenty to play for.
03. 06. 2022 13:00 CET 5 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's been a good morning, just one very silly mistake in the last stage. We have to be quite happy with how everything's been.
03. 06. 2022 13:00 CET 5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We are trying very hard. Some things are difficult to manage, but we are trying our best. Since Portugal, the chassis has improved a lot - if it could be exactly where it needs to be then it would be a great car.
03. 06. 2022 13:00 CET 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure, it's a littler better than the first pass, but still very slippery in some places. The base is very hard so we didn't get much improvement with the grip level, but I am just trying to not make any mistakes.
03. 06. 2022 13:00 CET 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Transmission failure...
03. 06. 2022 12:59 CET 5 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Not good. I was expecting the wing to not really be too bad, but you can not do anything.
03. 06. 2022 12:59 CET 5 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): problems with transmissions
03. 06. 2022 12:58 CET 5 Stage will be delayed.
03. 06. 2022 12:58 CET 4 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was a really tricky stage and really rough. We tried to manage the car a little bit, but I am quite happy with the pace. We still have one long stage to go.
03. 06. 2022 12:57 CET 4 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): All is good. The others were better.
03. 06. 2022 12:57 CET 4 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Obviously without dust it's much better. I pushed a bit more because this morning I was too scared in many places. Now the car is a little bit better and I feel more comfortable. We need to push - if we don't push then we may as well stay at home.
03. 06. 2022 12:57 CET 4 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I made the corner under braking it went straight on. Otherwise, it seems okay.
03. 06. 2022 12:56 CET 4 (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): was out of road
03. 06. 2022 12:56 CET 4 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It was fine - a little silly mistake. We dropped maybe 10 or 12sec with the overshoot, so it would have been a good stage. I'm happy.
03. 06. 2022 12:55 CET 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The visibility was better than in SS2 - still a little bit of dust, but not really disturbing. We made some changes on the car and it's slightly better, but I'm still not 100 per cent confident. It was a good run through, but maybe I should have been on three hards instead of the crossed tyres.
03. 06. 2022 12:55 CET 4 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): For sure, the conditions are rough. I am a bit afraid that I am too careful now because I am trying to avoid punctures and things. Let's see what the pace is like now.
03. 06. 2022 13:10 CET 3 retired (72 - Spanu Giacomo / Spanu Davide): retired in SS 3
03. 06. 2022 12:54 CET 3 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was a really nice stage to drive. Where I said don't cut, some drivers in front of me did and there were some rocks in the middle of the road. It was tricky, but it was nice.
03. 06. 2022 12:53 CET 3 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I braked too late before a hairpin and I had to reverse. It's like this. The rally is long and I had a bad tyre choice in this one. I went on hards and it was not working.
03. 06. 2022 12:53 CET 3 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I am a bit surprised. I hit a loose rock on the front left around 5km before the finish and I started oi hear a huge mechanical noise. I thought it was a puncture, so I was watching right-hand corners, but it seems it is only the rim that is bent. The time seems to be really okay.
03. 06. 2022 12:53 CET 3 retired (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): technical problem - water leak after SS 3
03. 06. 2022 12:52 CET 3 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It's all okay, but I don't have confidence in the car. It's sliding a lot. I know this stage well - I have done it before - but I just can't push. I feel in myself that I am not comfortable.
03. 06. 2022 12:52 CET 3 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I had a half spin, but the car wouldn't restart. The engine would start, but as soon as I released the clutch it would die again. That's the way it is.
03. 06. 2022 12:51 CET 3 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I struggled with the car a little bit. The grip was lower than I expected, but I tried to let the car do the work and commit to the notes.
03. 06. 2022 12:51 CET 3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We need to go...
03. 06. 2022 12:51 CET 3 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's quite low grip - lower than the previous one. It's challenging with the tyres to really know what works the best.
03. 06. 2022 12:50 CET 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Nothing is wrong, but I was way too careful because I didn't feel the grip so well. We need to do something.
03. 06. 2022 12:50 CET 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay, but it's a shame to start the rally like this morning. We lost 7.5sec to Elfyn in 3km. It's frustrating, but we keep gong. I am not 100 per cent happy with the balance and movement on the car, so we have to work a bit on that.
03. 06. 2022 12:50 CET 3 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Let's see what we can do on the second pass with the tyres. It's quite okay, but on the really narrow sections at the end you can't do much more because it's so slippery.
03. 06. 2022 12:49 CET 2 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): There's nothing we can do - we have to be careful because in some places it's narrow and you can easily hit something.
03. 06. 2022 12:49 CET 2 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I don't know how I managed it. It's quite tricky, but we are doing step-by-step. Let's see if we can do more in the second loop.
03. 06. 2022 12:49 CET 2 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It would be okay to push but when you can't see, I just backed off. It's so easy to hit something and we just took it safely through.
03. 06. 2022 12:49 CET 2 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It's dusty from the beginning and also very slippery with these tyres. It's okay, but it's difficult like this.
03. 06. 2022 12:48 CET 2 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I could have tried harder in the dust for sure, but the plan for the weekend is to get points. It would have been so easy to take a wheel off in this stage by just running slightly wide.
03. 06. 2022 12:48 CET 2 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I can't see. I'm stopped every five or six-hundred metres. I was putting the car off the road in places and there was a wall of dust in front of me in some places.
03. 06. 2022 12:48 CET 2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I couldn't see a lot for most of it - it was really bad.
03. 06. 2022 12:48 CET 2 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The visibility is difficult. This stage is a killer for this and it's very challenging at the moment.
03. 06. 2022 12:47 CET 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The grip is low as always, but the problem is we can't see anything because of the dust. It's not nice to be honest.
03. 06. 2022 12:47 CET 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There is no visibility at all. We lost up to 15sec in the dust and I had to slow down completely. It's a shame for the drivers.
03. 06. 2022 12:46 CET 2 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was quite slippery, as expected. Difficult conditions to be first car but I don't know what else we can do. I made a few small mistakes at the beginning, but other than that we did the best we could.
03. 06. 2022 12:46 CET 1 retired (65 - Barbati Giuseppe / Pollicino Marco): retired after SS 1
03. 06. 2022 12:46 CET 1 retired (47 - Anear Luke / Sarandis Andrew): retired after SS 1
03. 06. 2022 12:45 CET 1 (47 - Anear Luke / Sarandis Andrew): damaged wheel
03. 06. 2022 12:45 CET 1 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I think we have to really think about the championship, for sure. We know that it will be tough for the car and also for us, and opening the road here means a win will be quite difficult. We have to be clever.
03. 06. 2022 12:44 CET 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage. I think it's going to be tough and the conditions will be loose and also quite rough. I hope we can do a good rally and we feel well-prepared. It will be interesting to see what the tyre choices will be now compared to tomorrow.
03. 06. 2022 12:44 CET 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was quite slippery - more than I expected - but everything feels good. The car feels good. It's going to be a very changeable weekend so I need to be smart and make no mistakes. If I make no mistakes by the end of tomorrow then it will be good.
03. 06. 2022 12:44 CET 1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Let's see. It's the first time here in this car. We went with the full hard tyres so it was quite slippery, but we had a good run.
03. 06. 2022 12:44 CET 1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): This is just a small test of what's to come, obviously, but it's good to get off to a nice start. It actually didn't feel too great to be honest, but we'll see what happens this weekend.
03. 06. 2022 12:43 CET 1 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I feel good. I went wide in a corner where I needed to be clean and pushed all the dust in front of myself. Today felt nice and I was comfortable with the car, so let's see.
03. 06. 2022 12:43 CET 1 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The team forgot to put a lead in the car, so I can't connect to the intercom! I hope we can find a spare one, otherwise there's no point in doing tomorrow.
03. 06. 2022 12:43 CET 1 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): We will try to do our best. It's a difficult rally and it's very easy to make a mistake everywhere.
03. 06. 2022 12:43 CET 1 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): In one place I was ten metres too wide, but it was super slippery! I expected more grip to be honest and it looked like the first cars had good grip, but maybe it was going the other way now. A bit too spectacular, but we will calm down now and focus again for tomorrow.
03. 06. 2022 12:42 CET 1 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): We will try to do a good rally and to be at the end will be the goal.
03. 06. 2022 12:42 CET 1 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We will try to do our best to get to the end, but it will be a big challenge for the drivers and cars. Many things can happen on this rally, we know that.
03. 06. 2022 12:42 CET 1 flash info (22 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): We have been strong here in the WRC, but let's see what we can do. The start was okay, but we have to try and be clever with tyres this weekend.
03. 06. 2022 12:42 CET 1 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The atmosphere is good and the jump is nice, but it was very slippery! I made a lot of mistakes, but you just need to survive this kind of stage.
03. 06. 2022 12:41 CET 1 flash info (20 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): The game plan is to drive a clever rally. I have started this rally so many times and it's a very difficult event, especially this year with everything being so warm and rough. I will try to use my experience to see where we can push and be clever.
03. 06. 2022 12:41 CET 1 flash info (25 - Rossel Yohan / Sarreaud Valentin): The plan is to continue like this. We will see - the car is good and I am happy after shakedown. We want to do no mistakes and keep our focus on getting maximum points for the championship.
03. 06. 2022 12:41 CET 1 flash info (27 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): For sure it will not be easy here...
03. 06. 2022 12:40 CET 1 retired (43 - Kremer Armin / Kremer Ella): retired before start
03. 06. 2022 12:40 CET SHAKEDOWN (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): problems with fire
03. 06. 2022 12:39 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The feeling is really nice. It's always a difficult rally for everybody and for the cars, so it's a really good challenge. I don't know if shakedown is representative or not, because there is a long straight which we don't have in the rally, but we are looking forward to it.
03. 06. 2022 12:39 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): We will try to do our best, but it was very slippery there. I was a bit surprised by that, but we will try to do our best and be a bit cleaner.
03. 06. 2022 12:39 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The car feels good, to be honest. We were just keeping it in the line and there's definitely a benefit in the road position. As we all expect, it will be very warm in the car, but otherwise it looks like a very normal Sardinia. It's going to be rough and there will be a lot of loose rocks, but it will also be about survival as well.
03. 06. 2022 12:38 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): At the moment I don't have a lot of feeling with the car. It's sliding a lot and there is not a lot of grip. Let's see - the rally is long and we need to change the set-up and the pace.
03. 06. 2022 12:38 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It all feels okay. We want to make some changes, but it's going to be a hot weekend.
03. 06. 2022 12:38 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Who knows. It's always the aim, but we have to wait and see how it goes. It's going to be a long and tough weekend. Of course, the guys have made every effort to do what they can with the car and we have tried to prepare as well as we can, but we don't know exactly what to expect. Let's see.
03. 06. 2022 12:37 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Look in the sky - you will see what we can expect. It's going to be warm and that's the main challenge. This one was quite smooth and a bit tricky at the end with some narrow sections and rocks, but it is still in a good shape.
03. 06. 2022 12:37 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): In the car it's very hot. I think it will be very tough, but we will try to manage it. It's going to be really interesting and for sure it will be very slippery.
03. 06. 2022 12:37 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's going to be hot, I think! That's a word we're going to use a lot this weekend. Quite challenging conditions, I have to say. The grip is low in some places but high in others and, and I think tyre choice will be important as well. It won't be an easy weekend, that's for sure, but we are looking forward to it.
03. 06. 2022 12:37 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It looks like it will be quite a slippery and hot weekend for us. The conditions are really slippery and it was difficult to have a good balance in the car because it was sliding so much, but let's see what we can do.
