26. 06. 2022 14:17 CET
19 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I think it was clear today what was going on, but we weren't quite on it with a few things on Saturday. It's been a great weekend and this one's really for the team to be honest. If we can secure this result then it's hats-off to them - everybody else has struggled and we have come through.
26. 06. 2022 15:11
26. 06. 2022 14:11 CET
19 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I want to thank the team. Everybody did an incredible job after Portugal and Sardinia to develop the car so strong. It was a very tough weekend. Okay, we had issues, but the car was strong. This is Aaron's first podium and he has been such a big support.
26. 06. 2022 15:06
26. 06. 2022 14:06 CET
19 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): I hope my team-mates come through because it's extremely rough in there. Without the puncture it would have been different, but that's part of the game. Toyota Gazoo Racing has provided an amazingly strong car for the toughest three days of the season and I want to congratulate them.
26. 06. 2022 15:02
26. 06. 2022 14:02 CET
19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have not much to say. The situation is very obvious, so I am really disappointed. I am disappointed for our mechanics as well because they are working hard, but they don't get any return.
26. 06. 2022 15:01
26. 06. 2022 14:01 CET
19 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's been difficult and not the most enjoyable rally by any stretch of the imagination, but we did what we had to do. We were already out of the fight on Friday and we've been managing a couple of bits and pieces over the last two days.
26. 06. 2022 15:01
26. 06. 2022 14:01 CET
19 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): The last stage was very difficult with all the ruts, but we had a fantastic rally. It's really surprising to finish seventh with Sébastien Loeb behind me! Even in my dreams this would not be possible!
26. 06. 2022 14:50
26. 06. 2022 13:50 CET
19 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): For sure, it's much better than last year! Not really what I hoped for, but that's part of rallying. We have a lot of work to do for sure, but it was great to come to the finish. It's thanks to all the mechanics - without them nothing is possible. We have to push on and be flat-out from here.
26. 06. 2022 14:45
26. 06. 2022 13:45 CET
19 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): Today went well. We had a good feeling with the car. For sure, we are disappointed for what happened on the first day, but today the car was great and we tried to enjoy it.
26. 06. 2022 14:41
26. 06. 2022 13:41 CET
19 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Unfortunately we had some issues, but it's such a rough event and it's been difficult for the whole team. We have been enjoying it today, so that's the main thing.
26. 06. 2022 14:39
26. 06. 2022 13:39 CET
19 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I am just glad to see the finish and grateful to be able to drive today. I might have been more of a hindrance than a help to the guys yesterday repairing the car, but at least we got to go again.
26. 06. 2022 14:34
26. 06. 2022 13:34 CET
19 flash info (20 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): We were pushing! It's like a dream and I don't want to wake up. This is the hardest WRC round and it's amazing to win. Thanks to all of my team - they did really good work and it's fantastic.
26. 06. 2022 14:34
26. 06. 2022 13:34 CET
19 flash info (22 - Johnston Sean / Kihurani Alexander): It's so incredible. What an amazing adventure! For sure, it was the hardest rally I've ever competed in and we're so grateful to be here. I was trying to keep Kajto honest in there but we had a pop-off valve issue going up the hill, so I don't think the time will be very interesting.
26. 06. 2022 14:26
26. 06. 2022 13:26 CET
19 Starting order: Johnston, Kajetanowicz, Greensmith, Fourmaux, Loeb, Solberg, Serderidis, Breen, Neuville, Ogier, Katsuta, Evans, Rovanperä

26. 06. 2022 14:23 CET
18 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It feels great! I have to say, this was the hardest rally I have ever done and to be honest we just have to thank the team. To have four cars like this with no issues - it is clearly the strongest and fastest car. The team did a fantastic job.
26. 06. 2022 14:36

26. 06. 2022 13:37
26. 06. 2022 12:37 CET
17 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I am snow ploughing all the time! at one point I had to stop because my wipers were not working. Luckily there was two guys there who could come and clear my window.
26. 06. 2022 13:36
26. 06. 2022 12:36 CET
17 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Of course it's not so enjoyable. I just tried to manage through. There are a lot of big holes.
26. 06. 2022 13:36
26. 06. 2022 12:36 CET
17 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Difficult to feel competitive - it's quite rough in there with a lot of unknowns, so I was very careful.
26. 06. 2022 13:36
26. 06. 2022 12:36 CET
17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Quite rough, so I had to manage quite a lot. This one is more tricky than the next ones so it should be quite okay.
26. 06. 2022 13:36
26. 06. 2022 12:36 CET
17 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): We just have to go to the end. There is no reason to push - we have big gaps around - and we will try to enjoy the last kilometres.
26. 06. 2022 13:35
26. 06. 2022 12:35 CET
17 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): This one, I pushed more. I think I am at 95 per cent of full-speed. I like this stage because it's tricky, but there is a lot of fesh-fesh.
26. 06. 2022 13:35
26. 06. 2022 12:35 CET
17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): An okay stage for us...let's go to the next one.
26. 06. 2022 13:35
26. 06. 2022 12:35 CET
17 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I can't figure it out. It's something very strange and I have no idea.
26. 06. 2022 13:35
26. 06. 2022 12:35 CET
17 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): We tried to push. The bad part from the beginning was out - it was quite rough still, but interesting to drive. We had some pleasure.
26. 06. 2022 13:34
26. 06. 2022 12:34 CET
17 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I've been a bit ill this morning, but we're still here and the car is fine. All good.
26. 06. 2022 13:34
26. 06. 2022 12:34 CET
17 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): They removed the bad part of the stage, so it's okay. For sure, the ground is really loose and the grip is really low. It was a clean stage for us and I enjoyed a lot to play with the car.
26. 06. 2022 13:33
26. 06. 2022 12:33 CET
17 Stages was shortened by 3.1 km from start.

26. 06. 2022 12:33 CET
16 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's quite rough already. I just tried to avoid all the stones, but I think the Power Stage will be rough for the car and the tyres.
26. 06. 2022 13:33
26. 06. 2022 12:33 CET
16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm just taking it easy and looking after everything. It's quite rough in there, but all okay.
26. 06. 2022 13:33
26. 06. 2022 12:33 CET
16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Quite a nice stage. Some sections are always quite tricky, but nothing special to do today. I am trying to bring the car back without any damage.
26. 06. 2022 13:32
26. 06. 2022 12:32 CET
16 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): At this point, I am just thinking about points for the team. We will see, but it will be difficult in the second pass. It's a very destroyed stage.
26. 06. 2022 13:32
26. 06. 2022 12:32 CET
16 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): I didn't expect this! It's very, very loose and for the second pass it will be terrible.
26. 06. 2022 13:32
26. 06. 2022 12:32 CET
16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The road is already destroyed and it will be a very tough Power Stage on the second pass.
26. 06. 2022 13:32
26. 06. 2022 12:32 CET
16 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I felt like I had a puncture on the rear right, so I have some work to do.
26. 06. 2022 13:32
26. 06. 2022 12:32 CET
16 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): It was okay - no problems, that's the most important thing and we are here. The rhythm is correct.
26. 06. 2022 13:31
26. 06. 2022 12:31 CET
16 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): There is an opportunity for everything. It's so rough and anything can happen.
26. 06. 2022 13:31
26. 06. 2022 12:31 CET
16 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): We're an hour and 19 minutes off the lead... we're not in the fight. It's better than last year.
26. 06. 2022 13:31
26. 06. 2022 12:31 CET
16 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We were enjoying this morning. They were difficult stages actually, and the grip is really low with a lot of sand and fesh-fesh. It's really good to be driving today.
26. 06. 2022 13:39
26. 06. 2022 12:39 CET
15 retired (43 - Smith Rio / Ismail Riyaz): retired in SS 15

14 Stage was cancelled.
26. 06. 2022 13:30
26. 06. 2022 12:30 CET
14 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): We didn't take many risks. Visibility was very bad and it's very demanding again.
26. 06. 2022 13:29
26. 06. 2022 12:29 CET
14 Stage is stopped because car st.no.2 is blocking the road.
26. 06. 2022 13:29
26. 06. 2022 12:29 CET
14 (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Stopped in the stage after his car ingested a cloud of dust.
26. 06. 2022 13:28
26. 06. 2022 12:28 CET
14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Horrible. The car was jumping all around and it was very rough in there, with lots of sand in the car. It's an interesting one.
26. 06. 2022 13:28
26. 06. 2022 12:28 CET
14 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's very difficult, so I am happy to get through there.
26. 06. 2022 13:28
26. 06. 2022 12:28 CET
14 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): It's a really bad stage. A lot of fesh-fesh, very rough and the visibility is zero. We could see nothing.
26. 06. 2022 13:28
26. 06. 2022 12:28 CET
14 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was just for fun...the stage is quite tricky, but it's okay.
26. 06. 2022 13:28
26. 06. 2022 12:28 CET
14 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): That will be the worst stage of the rally in a couple of cars. I'm not sure if we will be able to do the second pass - I don't think any cars will get through it.
26. 06. 2022 13:27
26. 06. 2022 12:27 CET
14 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I am really surprised. It was already really rutted in the beginning with a lot of fesh-fesh coming into the vent. It will be challenging on the second pass.
26. 06. 2022 00:50
25. 06. 2022 23:50 CET
13 retired (25 - Patel Karan / Khan Tauseef): excluded - removed seal on gearbox and differential

25. 06. 2022 21:44
25. 06. 2022 20:44 CET
13 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I don't know even myself how we did it. We were basically off two times in the water - we couldn't keep the car in a straight line and I couldn't see anything. I am happy to be here.
25. 06. 2022 21:43
25. 06. 2022 20:43 CET
13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I had a puncture and it was a very tough stage! I was very careful when I saw Thierry stopped. Now the day is over I am a bit more relaxed, but it is a big day tomorrow so I will try to push.
25. 06. 2022 21:43
25. 06. 2022 20:43 CET
13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was awful. I can't see a lot because we have a windscreen washer issue. I'm obviously happy to be here but it was really slow.
25. 06. 2022 21:43
25. 06. 2022 20:43 CET
13 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): The engine stopped twice and I lost a lot of time. It doesn't matter - I am here and we are very lucky! That is one of the coolest things I have done in my life. Even if it was hell, it was cool!
25. 06. 2022 21:43
25. 06. 2022 20:43 CET
13 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): It's going to get faster, because it is just drying now. Some sections were very tricky and we are happy to be here.
25. 06. 2022 21:43
25. 06. 2022 20:43 CET
13 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): crashed into tree
25. 06. 2022 21:42
25. 06. 2022 20:42 CET
13 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Not so pleasant! It's horrible and there's nothing to fight for. I am trying to go with zero risk.
25. 06. 2022 21:41
25. 06. 2022 20:41 CET
13 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): continue
25. 06. 2022 21:41
25. 06. 2022 20:41 CET
13 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): In a straight, suddenly the car fell down and it's maybe a steering arm or something. We had to do 15km like this and I had to go slowly to the finish. That's it.
25. 06. 2022 21:40
25. 06. 2022 20:40 CET
13 (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): damaged suspension
25. 06. 2022 21:40
25. 06. 2022 20:40 CET
13 (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): puncture
25. 06. 2022 21:39

12 retired (22 - Johnston Sean / Kihurani Alexander): retired after SS 12
25. 06. 2022 21:39
25. 06. 2022 20:39 CET
12 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It just felt that I was quite neat and tidy on the mud. Not too bad! I don't know why it's such a fast time, but otherwise all good.
25. 06. 2022 21:39
25. 06. 2022 20:39 CET
12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's so surprising. We had quite okay grip and no drama, then 100 metres later it was completely muddy in one corner and I went straight. That was a big surprise and quite strange, but it's all good and we are here.
25. 06. 2022 21:39
25. 06. 2022 20:39 CET
12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I couldn't really see anything, so it was difficult.
25. 06. 2022 21:38
25. 06. 2022 20:38 CET
12 The rain has stopped and it looks like the road may be slowly drying out.
25. 06. 2022 21:38
25. 06. 2022 20:38 CET
12 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): In here you either try to take a hell of a lot of time or you lose everything. It's easy to do such a small mistake and get stuck, so I took it very easy. One corner you have a lot of grip and the next you have zero.
25. 06. 2022 21:38
25. 06. 2022 20:38 CET
12 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): It's not the most extreme! There is no grip at all, so you know you can have no speed at the end.
25. 06. 2022 21:37
25. 06. 2022 20:37 CET
12 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): Ice in Kenya?! It was fun - okay, the time is not good, but we managed it. For the last 5km we could have been in Sweden.
25. 06. 2022 21:37
25. 06. 2022 20:37 CET
12 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I have a small issue, but we should be able to carry on through. There shouldn't be any drama, but it's not ideal.
25. 06. 2022 21:37
25. 06. 2022 20:37 CET
12 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): It was terrible conditions. The grip is like zero, so I just tried to keep the car on the road and avoid mistakes. I went through.
25. 06. 2022 21:36
25. 06. 2022 20:36 CET
12 Stage is full of mud.
25. 06. 2022 21:36
25. 06. 2022 20:36 CET
11 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was in quite rough condition and we tried to manage without any issues here. It's really hard to define the pace. I started to feel sick in the midday service and I don't feel so good now, so I just want to get to the finish now.
25. 06. 2022 21:36
25. 06. 2022 20:36 CET
11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Better than this morning, but the weather is going to be tricky so I need to be careful maybe. It's all good.
25. 06. 2022 21:36
25. 06. 2022 20:36 CET
11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Clean enough to be honest. No dramas, so all okay.
25. 06. 2022 21:36
25. 06. 2022 20:36 CET
11 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Much better. I did some changes and it's night and day compared to before. I need to protect my position now.
25. 06. 2022 21:35
25. 06. 2022 20:35 CET
11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): In the bumpy section, I lost all the body work. I had a lot of understeer at the end and I couldn't drive faster because without the front, the car is lifting all the time.
25. 06. 2022 21:35
25. 06. 2022 20:35 CET
11 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): It's okay, but I had a strange feeling at the end like I have no power. I'm not sure if it's alright.
25. 06. 2022 21:35
25. 06. 2022 20:35 CET
11 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): Almost the same conditions as this morning, and we improved by 40 seconds! It's fantastic - maximum fun.
25. 06. 2022 21:35
25. 06. 2022 20:35 CET
11 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I'm sure I have a rear puncture. It was a really slow puncture going gradually and we slowed right down for the last 3km to make sure it didn't go off the bead.
25. 06. 2022 21:34
25. 06. 2022 20:34 CET
11 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): It was not too bad. I think we had to clean again after the last pass, but this stage was quite good.
25. 06. 2022 21:34
25. 06. 2022 20:34 CET

25. 06. 2022 20:33 CET
10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I don't know where we got it - probably on some small sharp rock. I had to drive the last 5km like this.
25. 06. 2022 21:33
25. 06. 2022 20:33 CET
10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We did have a puncture at the end, but I don't think it cost us too much. I was very careful in the rough parts, but obviously we still got a puncture. It's difficult.

10 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): What a crazy morning! I am so happy to be here. In the first stage I hit a rock and bent the arm and I had to fix it and it was okay. I am finally here, but. I saw Ott in there and that's not so good. I have to bring it home now for the team.

10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had an okay stage, but we are still struggling with the dust inside and I had a rear right puncture for the last 3km as well. We lost a bit of time in there, but we are here.
25. 06. 2022 21:31
25. 06. 2022 20:31 CET
10 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): It's about surviving. Like I have said, we have no fight around us. We are just trying to stay out of trouble and be safe.

25. 06. 2022 20:31 CET
10 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): We had a good speed. We had a bit of a mistake in the water, but otherwise it was a good morning for us.
25. 06. 2022 21:30
25. 06. 2022 20:30 CET
10 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's a bit boring here. It's not like we've got nothing to fight for and we can go and play - we're still in the points, so I have to go carefully.
25. 06. 2022 21:30
25. 06. 2022 20:30 CET
10 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): The dust is coming in from the doors all the time. It's difficult to breathe and difficult to see.

25. 06. 2022 20:30 CET
9 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It seems that the team has done a good job, so we just have to trust that it will stay like this. We have to be careful too - we can not break the car and they are such conditions.
25. 06. 2022 21:30
25. 06. 2022 20:30 CET
9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): This one was quite clear about what I should do in the rough sections, but it's still difficult.
25. 06. 2022 21:29
25. 06. 2022 20:29 CET
9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's a bit difficult in places. We were perhaps too careful in some of the tricky parts, but it's okay.
25. 06. 2022 21:29
25. 06. 2022 20:29 CET
9 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's not about pushing. We don't know how some places are affected and we are trying to learn.
25. 06. 2022 21:29
25. 06. 2022 20:29 CET
9 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I had to try and fix the car. Something was bent after we hit a rock in the road on the previous stage. Nothing too severe, but I wanted to take my time to fix it properly.

9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I struggled a bit in there. I had no good visibility with the [cracked] windscreen and it was difficult for me to see the rocks. The next stage will be a huge challenge.
25. 06. 2022 21:28
25. 06. 2022 20:28 CET
9 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): It's okay. At the moment we are just trying to stay out of trouble. We have no fight around us.

25. 06. 2022 20:27 CET
9 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): That was one was very smooth and we had a clean run here. It was nice.
25. 06. 2022 21:26
25. 06. 2022 20:26 CET
9 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was horrible.
25. 06. 2022 21:26
25. 06. 2022 20:26 CET
9 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Relatively okay, but there are a couple of tricky places with a lot of rocks. It only takes one of those to spell the end of your day.

8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The stage is okay, but I was confused with the pace notes and I did not know where I was going...
25. 06. 2022 21:24
25. 06. 2022 20:24 CET
8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was okay, but it wasn't such a fantastic feeling - especially towards the end. There are still areas to improve for the next pass.
25. 06. 2022 21:24
25. 06. 2022 20:24 CET
8 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): No issues. The stage was okay and probably better than we expected. For now, it was a safe and clean run.
25. 06. 2022 21:24
25. 06. 2022 20:24 CET
8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I enjoyed the stage, but I am struggling with the handling of the car and also the visibility. In a fast left, there was a tree and it touched the windscreen and broke it. It was not good at the end, but we are here.
25. 06. 2022 21:24
25. 06. 2022 20:24 CET
8 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): So far, so good. It's going to be a very long day. Already in this stage there were many rocks and you have to be careful in some sections.
25. 06. 2022 21:24
25. 06. 2022 20:24 CET
8 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): There was a rock in the middle of the road and I hit it with both wheels. I had a slow puncture for a long time, so it's not so good. We are just surviving.

25. 06. 2022 20:22 CET

25. 06. 2022 21:22
25. 06. 2022 20:22 CET
8 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We got the puncture and changed it, and then in a rocky part it broke. We need to have a look, and hopefully we can fix it. I hope I wasn't disturbing Craig too much.
25. 06. 2022 21:22
25. 06. 2022 20:22 CET
8 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I did it yesterday to somebody else - it's difficult to know how much time you're losing and that's why we have all these trackers and cameras. Hopefully the FIA can do something.
25. 06. 2022 21:22
25. 06. 2022 20:22 CET
8 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): It was okay. A clean road and no big stones because I am the first car. It's quite slippery, but it was a nice stage.

7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's so extreme. I was careful and I was sure it would be a car graveyard! From my side it was important ot try and get through. I lost a lot time with catching the dust in the hairpin.

7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We had a lot of dust from Craig and in some corners I couldn't see anything. In a long straight Craig had stopped and there were big massive rocks everywhere, so I had to almost stop there. I think I lost a lot of time from this, so hopefully we can get something back.

24. 06. 2022 14:48 CET
7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The car was full of dust from mid-stage. Visibility was very bad and we had a puncture on the last 5km. It was an interesting stage and we tried to survive, but with the dust it was very difficult.
24. 06. 2022 15:47
24. 06. 2022 14:47 CET
7 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Overall the first two stages were quite nice, but this was tricky as expected. Everything should be fine with the air filter, but at the beginning I felt I had no power. After the dust and fesh-fesh we had no power at all, but I don't know why I felt like that at the beginning.

6 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): This stage is not so rough, so it was much more enjoyable. We still have a lot of work to do with the car, but we did something now and it's the best I can do.
24. 06. 2022 15:06
24. 06. 2022 14:06 CET
6 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): So far it matches my expectations - when you are in the lead you can not expect more! We know it's a long weekend and it's all about the next one. We saw what happened this morning and for sure it's going to be a big challenge.
24. 06. 2022 15:02
24. 06. 2022 14:02 CET
6 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): We're just here to make sure the car is at the finish line. We're aware of the issues Adrien had and we need to make sure we get back to service this evening.
24. 06. 2022 14:58
24. 06. 2022 13:58 CET
6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Everything's fine with the car. It felt like a clean run, but obviously the time is not so good.
24. 06. 2022 14:54
24. 06. 2022 13:54 CET
6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): This stage felt good with the car. I didn't push to the maximum, but the car is working well. We had no risks and no moments, so it's quite comfortable.
24. 06. 2022 14:50
24. 06. 2022 13:50 CET
6 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): All okay - no issues at all. It's difficult to find the balance of what's fast and what's not. Considering everything that's happening, a couple of seconds isn't going to make too much of a difference.
24. 06. 2022 14:47
24. 06. 2022 13:47 CET
6 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): This is a nice stage - I was having fun between the proper stages.
24. 06. 2022 14:42
24. 06. 2022 13:42 CET
6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am driving and trying to improve the car. I am not happy at all and I am fighting hard to at least be able to get some good times. There's not much more we can do at the moment.
24. 06. 2022 14:39
24. 06. 2022 13:39 CET
6 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's still pretty okay in this stage. This one is maybe the hardest base and it was a lot cleaner now. I am quite happy with everything, but I struggled a bit with the car under braking and I am trying to learn the new diff. Other than that, everything is good.

5 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I don't know. We stopped in the stage to see and it looks to be the propshaft or the rear diff. We will check on the road section, but it sees to be difficult to finish the loop.
24. 06. 2022 14:05
24. 06. 2022 13:05 CET
5 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I don't know what to do. I think I am driving okay and then I am more than 1sec per km down. This is the roughest ride of my life.

5 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): That's good. This stage was clean and I enjoyed the driving, but the rest of the loop will be tricky.
24. 06. 2022 13:56
24. 06. 2022 12:56 CET
5 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): We're quite a long way away now, so we're just trying to keep the car in one piece and get to the end.
24. 06. 2022 13:55
24. 06. 2022 12:55 CET
5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Tyre went soft about 7km from the end. I think we probably got away quite lightly with how much we lost, but it's not ideal.
24. 06. 2022 13:47
24. 06. 2022 12:47 CET
5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): You can not say anything about the podium yet because it is still only day one! We had to manage it in some places, but compared to SS4 it was an enjoyable stage.
24. 06. 2022 13:47
24. 06. 2022 12:47 CET
5 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Completely fine. I had a puncture alarm for about 7km or 8km which was a bit disturbing, but other than that it was okay.
24. 06. 2022 13:47
24. 06. 2022 12:47 CET
5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): A clean stage - no worries. All is good.

24. 06. 2022 12:46 CET
5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am struggling as well with the drivability of the engine. We are going to work on the settings and try to improve - that's the only thing we can do.
24. 06. 2022 13:46
24. 06. 2022 12:46 CET
5 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I think there is a better clean line, so there was more grip. Some parts were a bit rough, but it wasn't too bad. Overall, quite an okay stage.

24. 06. 2022 12:41 CET
4 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): We have no power. I think it's from the sand. I took it very calm and very neat - there are so many big rocks. It's so annoying when you are trying to have a clean morning and it doesn't work anyway.
24. 06. 2022 13:41
24. 06. 2022 12:41 CET
4 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): I have no idea what drama is going on, but I had drama myself. I had no power at the end and it was very difficult to go through this stage.

4 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): I was lost in my own dust! I had a hairpin and it was full of dust and I didn't know where to go! I had to wait and then go again. The end of the stage is rougher and rougher, so I am not sure we can get through on the second pass.
24. 06. 2022 13:40
24. 06. 2022 12:40 CET
4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's pretty extreme and I felt like I was definitely too much on the careful side, but it's difficult to know.

24. 06. 2022 12:40 CET
4 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Incredibly difficult. I can't imagine what the second pass will be like! The fesh-fesh section is new since last year, so maybe that's how we made up a bit of time there.
24. 06. 2022 13:39
24. 06. 2022 12:39 CET
4 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): That was the least of our problems! I think in the last part, soon they will start to get stuck because there is no road anymore. We just got through.

24. 06. 2022 12:37 CET
3 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I was just careful in some places where the rocks are going. The cars in front are bringing big rocks into the middle of the stage, so I have to be careful.
24. 06. 2022 13:37
24. 06. 2022 12:37 CET
3 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Very difficult and slippery. I am taking it easy, but I am not happy with the car. I can't find a good feeling and I am not confident. I just want to bring it home and we will see what the result is.
24. 06. 2022 13:37
24. 06. 2022 12:37 CET
3 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): A lot of rocks everywhere - I didn't expect so many rocks on this one. It looked a bit more clean in the recce.
24. 06. 2022 13:37
24. 06. 2022 12:37 CET
3 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was okay, but it felt slow going up the hills. I was too cautious at the beginning in the rough places.
24. 06. 2022 13:36
24. 06. 2022 12:36 CET
3 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): I had a good stage and I had the feeling that I didn't have a lot of power, but I think that's just the altitude and it is probably the same for everybody.
24. 06. 2022 13:36
24. 06. 2022 12:36 CET
3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was okay. Not the greatest run to be honest.
24. 06. 2022 13:36
24. 06. 2022 12:36 CET
3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I am very surprised the time is okay because I felt I was driving badly. The car is working well, so I think that's why we had a good time.
24. 06. 2022 13:36
24. 06. 2022 12:36 CET
3 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's Safari - you have to get through it. I struggled a little bit at the start and I didn't get a rhythm at all, but we had no problems and we're here.
24. 06. 2022 13:35
24. 06. 2022 12:35 CET
3 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was not good. The material is so soft, so it's just two gear changes and it's gone again. It will be a difficult long stage now.
24. 06. 2022 13:35
24. 06. 2022 12:35 CET
3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am struggling like hell. The car is not driveable in these conditions - with the cleaning I have no grip and it doesn't go where I want. The rally is long, so it's not so worrying to lose a few seconds here and there.
24. 06. 2022 13:35
24. 06. 2022 12:35 CET
3 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): The stage would be quite nice - it's really fast and flowing - but being first car is horrible. There is so much loose gravel and even on the straights the car is moving a lot.
24. 06. 2022 13:34
24. 06. 2022 12:34 CET
2 Stage was cancelled.
24. 06. 2022 13:33
24. 06. 2022 12:33 CET
2 Stage was stopped because of crash st.no.30.
24. 06. 2022 13:33
24. 06. 2022 12:33 CET
2 retired (30 - Wahome Jeremy / Okundi Victor): accident in SS 2
24. 06. 2022 13:31
24. 06. 2022 12:31 CET
2 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I am happy. It was a nice stage for us and last year I also did a good time in this stage. It's not too rough so you can still push. We are enjoying the stages and the car is all good.
24. 06. 2022 13:31
24. 06. 2022 12:31 CET
2 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I am taking it very easy, but I have something wrong with the car. On one side it's super hard - I don't know what happened. I think a lot can happen, so we just have to be smart.
24. 06. 2022 13:30
24. 06. 2022 12:30 CET
2 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): This one is not too bad. I think the worst is coming! I struggled a bit towards the end, but it was okay.
24. 06. 2022 13:30
24. 06. 2022 12:30 CET
2 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Not as bad as I expected, but the second pass [conditions] will be bad. The first part was really good, but in the middle where it was really rough I struggled to find a rhythm.
24. 06. 2022 13:30
24. 06. 2022 12:30 CET
2 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): I just corrected a note and the next one was a tricky one, so I had it a bit late and touched a small tree. I have to check, but I don't think it's a big problem.
24. 06. 2022 13:30
24. 06. 2022 12:30 CET
2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It all felt quite okay. I was listening to the notes and staying in the middle of the road. It seems to be okay, but let's see.
24. 06. 2022 13:29
24. 06. 2022 12:29 CET
2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It wasn't so bad. I expected a trickier stage, but it's okay. I was a bit too careful, but I think in this rally that's the best way to go. I will try to continue like that.
24. 06. 2022 13:29
24. 06. 2022 12:29 CET
2 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I felt like I was stopped! It's so difficult to know what's slow, and what's very slow! Zero risk - it's cleaning a lot - but I'm happy with my run.
24. 06. 2022 13:29
24. 06. 2022 12:29 CET
2 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We have an automatic gearbox now.
24. 06. 2022 13:29
24. 06. 2022 12:29 CET
2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It wasn't a great experience. I am struggling with traction and a lot of wheelspin. I had a problem with my gear shift - it was really harsh. Not a perfect stage, but it's going to be very bumpy here in the second pass.
24. 06. 2022 13:28
24. 06. 2022 12:28 CET
2 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Pretty okay - nothing special really. Quite slippery, especially the narrow part in the middle. There is a lot of cleaning.
24. 06. 2022 13:28
24. 06. 2022 12:28 CET
2 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): broken gear lever
23. 06. 2022 21:05

23. 06. 2022 20:00 CET
1 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was a bit on the limit under braking! Nothing really happened, but we had a puncture. That was a big shame, but it's a long rally and hopefully we didn't lose too much there. Let's try to focus on the weekend now.
23. 06. 2022 20:59
23. 06. 2022 19:59 CET
1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The real rally starts tomorrow and it's going to be a tough one. We need to find a good rhythm, but at least we were able to kick off the rally with a clean and good run. Tomorrow is a different story.
23. 06. 2022 20:59
23. 06. 2022 19:59 CET
1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's not a performance rally - it's a proper challenge. With these cars it will be some challenge.
23. 06. 2022 20:59
23. 06. 2022 19:59 CET
1 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): It's very colourful here and the people in this country give us amazing support. The challenge is big. It's not the kind of rally I usually love because it's going to be really rough, but we will try to survive it.
23. 06. 2022 20:59
23. 06. 2022 19:59 CET
1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): They're all important. There's no one that's less important than the other, but this weekend is a bit different. The challenge is different and, of course, we like challenges, but there are also a few unknowns as well.
23. 06. 2022 20:58
23. 06. 2022 19:58 CET
1 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's okay. I was quite wide in a lot of places and it's very slippery. For sure, there's a lot of cleaning in a lot of places so it will get quicker.
23. 06. 2022 20:58
23. 06. 2022 19:58 CET
1 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The plan is a bit like last year. I know it will be a rough event and I have to manage the car on the tricky sections, but also push in the other areas. This stage was really slippery and not what I expected, but it was still really nice to drive.
23. 06. 2022 20:58
23. 06. 2022 19:58 CET
1 flash info (20 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): It's a big challenge. This one was short and nice - I was braking because of dust from Prokop's car. It's not a bad start and we are happy to be here. We need to keep our concentration because it's absolutely important here.
23. 06. 2022 20:57
23. 06. 2022 19:57 CET
1 flash info (22 - Johnston Sean / Kihurani Alexander): For us, this is a dream come true. It's a classic and legendary event and it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to be here. It's great to see so many fans out here and we can't wait to get this thing kicked off.
23. 06. 2022 20:57
23. 06. 2022 19:57 CET
1 flash info (32 - Kimathi McRae / Kioni Mwangi): I am very excited, especially now I am rallying at home. It's a real pleasure and I am just so happy to be back. It's going to be a big challenge - of course we have big ruts to deal with. The trick is to be clean and to get to the end without problems.
23. 06. 2022 20:57
23. 06. 2022 19:57 CET

22. 06. 2022 12:25 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (22 - Johnston Sean / Kihurani Alexander): The target is to get to the end. It's so crazy - I have never seen anything remotely close to roads this rough in my entire life! Getting to the finish is the priority here and I think that's going to be a challenge in itself.
22. 06. 2022 13:24
22. 06. 2022 12:24 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Jůrka Zdeněk): This is a special rally. Last year we had some not nice memories, but let's try again. It's a big challenge for everybody and it's a really difficult rally. The shakedown is similar to some stages - it's not too rough.
22. 06. 2022 13:24
22. 06. 2022 12:24 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (20 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): It's completely different here. I changed my mind completely after recce and my head is destroyed! It's positive - I want to focus on my job. It's not possible to write everything in this rally in the pace notes, so you need to have a neck like a giraffe! I am happy to be here.
22. 06. 2022 13:24
22. 06. 2022 12:24 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): It's pretty tough! Very demanding, but the car is going so well. I am surprised by the quality of the car on these types of roads - I was not expecting this. I think we will have fun.
22. 06. 2022 13:24
22. 06. 2022 12:24 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I am really happy to be back in Kenya. Last year was a strong result for the team, so we will try the same approach. In some parts we will have to be slow to manage the car for reliability and the rally will be really long.
22. 06. 2022 13:23
22. 06. 2022 12:23 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It's definitely very tough. This first one was a wake-up call! I haven't been in the car for two months, so for sure it's going to be a learning experience and it's already super tough. I need to get more confidence, but the pace notes worked well and I am happy to be back.
22. 06. 2022 13:23
22. 06. 2022 12:23 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): I think it's mainly for the people that I came here. It's an experience and I feel the passion that they have for rally. The challenge itself is very tough and I think it's harder this year. From a driving point-of-view it's all about surviving. It will be a difficult rally, but we will try to do our best.
22. 06. 2022 13:23
22. 06. 2022 12:23 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Last year this stage was quite clean, but it's already broken through to the fech fech. If it's like this for the rest of the rally, it'll be like hell but also good fun!
22. 06. 2022 13:23
22. 06. 2022 12:23 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): It's good, but it's really rough. I am not used to this anymore! We are trying to get the feeling and it's not easy, but I'm happy to be back.
22. 06. 2022 13:23
22. 06. 2022 12:23 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's always going to be a challenge here, especially this year. It's about trying to judge the balance of speed and going as fast as we can, so let's see how it goes.
22. 06. 2022 13:22
22. 06. 2022 12:22 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Of course, you never know what will happen in this rally. I really need to find a balance where you can push and be very careful. It's never easy. In here it's quite bad because of the dust - you have no visibility out of the windscreen.
22. 06. 2022 13:22
22. 06. 2022 12:22 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Hakuna Matata! I'm looking forward to it - it's a proper adventure and like nothing I've ever seen before. I've watched the Safari for years and always wondered when we'd get the chance to do it - here we are.
22. 06. 2022 13:22
22. 06. 2022 12:22 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's Safari-spec this year! Definitely the target is to get through.
22. 06. 2022 13:22
22. 06. 2022 12:22 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's hard to know how to approach it, to be honest. It's going to be a tough weekend - tougher than last year. The challenge will be to find a good rhythm and get a good set-up as well.
22. 06. 2022 13:21
22. 06. 2022 12:21 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It seems that this year the rally will be even tougher than last year. I was not expecting rough conditions like we saw on the recce. This year the road is more soft than last year, so we're going to see some difficult conditions I think.
