Date and time	SS	Information
08. 08. 2022 00:47 07. 08. 2022 23:47 CET	22	(21 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): excluded - car not in conformity with homologation (weight of front bumper)
07. 08. 2022 14:23 07. 08. 2022 13:23 CET	22	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The Toyota guys gave me some hope on Friday in the beginning and since then we saw our chance. We were pushing from there, but all I want to say in these difficult times is that it's really all down to my wife. She has been supporting me so much and I am really proud of here - I love her so much.
07. 08. 2022 14:15 07. 08. 2022 13:15 CET	22	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Of course it was a nice weekend. I would have wanted to win at home of course but when you look at the situation I think we did pretty well after opening the road on Friday. We fought back and we are still quite close, so I think we can be proud of what we did.
07. 08. 2022 14:15 07. 08. 2022 13:15 CET	22	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Wow. That's nice! There was a rut [in the previous stage] and we hit it and immediately started to roll. I saw from the video that we went over three times. I don't know what to say - I am sorry to the team for breaking the car but it's good to be here.
07. 08. 2022 14:15 07. 08. 2022 13:15 CET	22	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not the best weekend - a bit up and down. Of course it was nice to be in the early fight but it got a bit frustrating after Saturday. It's like that - not the weekend we wanted but at least we are here.
07. 08. 2022 14:15 07. 08. 2022 13:15 CET	22	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a tough weekend but we already knew it coming here. Like in Estonia, it's two rallies in a row with a similar profile where I have always struggled a bit. Now we are heading to Ypres and we will try to do a good job over there.
07. 08. 2022 14:14 07. 08. 2022 13:14 CET	22	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was a good rally. I made so many mistakes yesterday and unfortunately I couldn't catch Thierry, but I will try to improve. I am really hoping that our team-mates are doing well.
07. 08. 2022 14:14 07. 08. 2022 13:14 CET	22	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It seemed to be better this morning for sure. I've really enjoyed it - the stages have been mega. I'm not sure what's wrong with Pierre but he seems to have had a problem.
07. 08. 2022 14:13 07. 08. 2022 13:13 CET	22	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): retired before SS 22
07. 08. 2022 14:13 07. 08. 2022 13:13 CET	22	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): It's a nice feeling to finish the rally and with this car it's really amazing. It was not exactly what we wanted but I am really happy and I have to thank all my sponsors and the team.
07. 08. 2022 14:12 07. 08. 2022 13:12 CET	22	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's been quite frustrating on the first day. We can be happy with some interesting times and it's also been good for experience to open the road. It was not the rally we wanted but there are some positives.
07. 08. 2022 14:12 07. 08. 2022 13:12 CET	22	(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Can I swear?! It's been a tricky weekend. I've enjoyed the parts where we were on the road, but I am disappointed about what happened yesterday. I am trying to squeeze everything out of this car, like everybody else on the team, but the level here is so high and you have to be on your A game in every rally.
07. 08. 2022 14:12 07. 08. 2022 13:12 CET	22	(21 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It was a really good rally for us and we are feeling great. I think we have done a very good job of developing the car and now it's on the winning pace, so that's the most important thing.
07. 08. 2022 14:12 07. 08. 2022 13:12 CET	22	(20 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): It was quite something. It seems like Friday was the day where we basically lost it. We need to think about that. I am not over the moon, but anyhow, second place after a proper fight is a good rally for us.
07. 08. 2022 14:11 07. 08. 2022 13:11 CET	22	(22 - Kaur Egon / Simm Silver): The feeling is good. One goal was to make it through the whole rally without mistakes - we definitely achieved that. We also wanted to keep up with the frontrunners, but that needs a little bit of work for the future.
07. 08. 2022 14:11 07. 08. 2022 13:11 CET	22	(25 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I really enjoyed being back over here. We haven't quite hit the pace we wanted but I have loved every second of it. We've got lots more to come as a team but the car is in one piece, so we can put it on the plane next week and take it back home.
07. 08. 2022 14:10 07. 08. 2022 13:10 CET	22	Starting order: Paddon, Kaur, Lindholm, Suninen, Breen, Fourmaux, Huttunen, Loubet, Greensmith, Katsuta, Evans, Lappi, Rovanperä, Tänak
07. 08. 2022 14:09 07. 08. 2022 13:09 CET	21	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's been a good weekend. This one was quite stressful because it was so rough in the middle. We had a clean run.
07. 08. 2022 14:09 07. 08. 2022 13:09 CET	21	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I think there is no chance to catch Ott. Like I said before, I can try to push one or two seconds faster with big risks, but that's it and it won't be enough.
07. 08. 2022 14:09 07. 08. 2022 13:09 CET	21	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): rolled
07. 08. 2022 14:08 07. 08. 2022 13:08 CET	21	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Let's see. The next one is a great stage and we'll just try to give it our best shot.
07. 08. 2022 14:08 07. 08. 2022 13:08 CET	21	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Let's go and see. If we can get three points from the Power Stage it would be a nice end to the rally, but if it's less it would be disappointing.
07. 08. 2022 14:08 07. 08. 2022 13:08 CET	21	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The narrow road has some small ruts but it wasn't as bad as I expected. I tried a few things during this run and it wasn't so perfect.
07. 08. 2022 14:08 07. 08. 2022 13:08 CET	21	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): On the penultimate corner it really dug out and snapped the car to turn it into a field. We made it.
07. 08. 2022 14:07 07. 08. 2022 13:07 CET	21	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was very rutted - I was surprised. In the middle, I had a big compression and I was thinking I had a puncture on the front left. We want to finish and we need to be careful.
07. 08. 2022 14:07 07. 08. 2022 13:07 CET	21	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): It's not nice to drive like this. We are taking it easy and it's going quite okay but sometimes it surprises you.
07. 08. 2022 14:07 07. 08. 2022 13:07 CET	21	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I just want to enjoy my day and my driving. For sure, there is a lot of sweeping so it's not really easy.
07. 08. 2022 14:07 07. 08. 2022 13:07 CET	21	(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It was a little bit cleaner and more enjoyable. In some parts I got completely out of the ruts and dropped time in the forest section, but apart from that it was okay.
07. 08. 2022 14:24 07. 08. 2022 13:24 CET	20	(45 - Rytkönen Anssi / Koskela Juho-Ville): retired in SS 20
07. 08. 2022 14:06 07. 08. 2022 13:06 CET	20	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): There are a lot of junctions, so it's really no place to take a risk. You just need to be clean on the junctions and we did exactly that - it's all good.
07. 08. 2022 14:06 07. 08. 2022 13:06 CET	20	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I can go quicker if I take the risks, but I am not willing to take it. It does not make any difference for me - if I take a crazy risk to be a few seconds faster then I can have the same time as Ott. It's not worth it.
07. 08. 2022 14:06 07. 08. 2022 13:06 CET	20	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The car is a bit on the soft side to gain some grip. Maybe it looked scary but to be honest it was all under control. I am starting to get scared now that I am getting a bit older!
07. 08. 2022 14:06 07. 08. 2022 13:06 CET	20	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was okay but nothing special really. We were just trying to get our eye in for the Power Stage - nothing crazy.
07. 08. 2022 14:05 07. 08. 2022 13:05 CET	20	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The grip was quite low in some of the braking areas so I was careful there, but we had a clean run through and we are happy with the pace notes for the second pass.
07. 08. 2022 14:05 07. 08. 2022 13:05 CET	20	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I tried to find the rhythm and the feeling and maybe two corners in I went a bit too much. I'll try to push on the Power Stage and take some points from who is in front of me now.
07. 08. 2022 14:05 07. 08. 2022 13:05 CET	20	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I don't know why this year, but the jumps earlier in the stage felt massive compared to last year. Last year they were all flat but this year I was almost jumping into the next one!
07. 08. 2022 14:05 07. 08. 2022 13:05 CET	20	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It's a fantastic stage - really something special. I lost a lot of time in the first stage so now I am trying to take it carefully. We are trying to go through now and finish this rally.
07. 08. 2022 14:05 07. 08. 2022 13:05 CET	20	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): It's a nice stage with this car but I can't really enjoy because I have to be really careful with my steering.
07. 08. 2022 14:04 07. 08. 2022 13:04 CET	20	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We probably jumped a bit less with this car, but it will still a good jump! The plan is not to be the biggest but it was a nice stage and I had a good feeling.
07. 08. 2022 14:04 07. 08. 2022 13:04 CET	20	(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Nice. I enjoyed it - I bet the 0 cars so that's always a good sign!
07. 08. 2022 14:23 07. 08. 2022 13:23 CET	19	(48 - McCormack Enda / McCormack Liam): retired in SS 19
07. 08. 2022 14:03 07. 08. 2022 13:03 CET	19	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): That was definitely full gas! Happy to be here and that was much-needed this morning. We need to keep a good pace but it was a nice feeling.
07. 08. 2022 14:03 07. 08. 2022 13:03 CET	19	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): There is not much more I can do. We had a pretty clean stage and the small road is cleaning quite a lot. I tried to be fast but for sure it was not a perfect stage from me. I think Ott knows how to do it well.
07. 08. 2022 14:03 07. 08. 2022 13:03 CET	19	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): When I sat in the car in parc fermé I realised now I can see again! It's better like this.
07. 08. 2022 14:03 07. 08. 2022 13:03 CET	19	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm not taking any chances. We're trying to keep the rhythm but we aren't doing anything crazy this morning.
07. 08. 2022 14:03 07. 08. 2022 13:03 CET	19	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had a clean run. It's very slippery in some places and there is a lot of cleaning as well.
07. 08. 2022 14:02 07. 08. 2022 13:02 CET	19	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We changed something on the car last night and my engineer was pushing me to change it, and he did a great job. I wasn't sure about it but now the car feels great.
07. 08. 2022 14:02 07. 08. 2022 13:02 CET	19	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): No grip! I felt like I was stopped in most places, it was like we were not moving forward and not going anywhere. It must be the same for everybody.
07. 08. 2022 14:02 07. 08. 2022 13:02 CET	19	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I don't know why, but I have no grip at all. It's really strange. I think the car is too stiff.
07. 08. 2022 14:02 07. 08. 2022 13:02 CET	19	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): It feels nice but the power steering is almost like yesterday in some places. Not good.
07. 08. 2022 14:01 07. 08. 2022 13:01 CET	19	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The plan is just to enjoy and try things on the car. There is still a lot of cleaning to do, but it's nice to have at least one car in front.
07. 08. 2022 14:01 07. 08. 2022 13:01 CET	19	(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Very loose. Quite okay - obviously hesitant in a couple of places, but other than that it was good.
06. 08. 2022 19:21 06. 08. 2022 18:21 CET	18	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's still a bit of a surprise where we are at the moment, but definitely it's been a good day considering the conditions that we had. We really thought we would lose a lot more and actually we are doing good.
06. 08. 2022 19:21 06. 08. 2022 18:21 CET	18	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It was the worst. When the sun is very low then sometimes there is really no visibility. We were not brave enough to even clean the windscreen in case we broke it more, so it's also very dirty. It was a nightmare, but we are here.
06. 08. 2022 19:21 06. 08. 2022 18:21 CET	18	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was something on the damper. It's a shame because I feel like I could have gone faster, but at the same time if we did it might not have held together.
06. 08. 2022 19:20 06. 08. 2022 18:20 CET	18	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We lost quite a lot of time yesterday, but today we have been trying our best to catch it. It's not easy because the gaps are so small but the main thing is that we are at the end of the day. We have good points coming and tomorrow we have to finish the job.
06. 08. 2022 19:20 06. 08. 2022 18:20 CET	18	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): He's driving through cautiously. The bolt which attaches the suspension strut to the upright has snapped, and he's patched the car together using cable ties and ratchet straps!
06. 08. 2022 19:20 06. 08. 2022 18:20 CET	18	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The rear just snapped at quite high speed. It was stupid, but nothing really to say.
06. 08. 2022 19:20 06. 08. 2022 18:20 CET	18	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): In general, the car was behaving much better today than yesterday. We have no reason to push and I know that in this rally I can't fight with the guys at the front. We are in a constant rhythm, driving through and still having fun.
06. 08. 2022 19:19 06. 08. 2022 18:19 CET	18	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I enjoyed it. Gus is faster than me, so it's not so good to feel that but that's how it is. For me everything is fine, but I need a bit more commitment everywhere to try and catch a bit of time.
06. 08. 2022 19:19 06. 08. 2022 18:19 CET	18	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The afternoon has been really enjoyable - I just need to improve my mornings. Maybe I need to have more coffee!
06. 08. 2022 19:19 06. 08. 2022 18:19 CET	18	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): When you check the times it's not okay, but if you ignore the times then it's a nice feeling in the car.
06. 08. 2022 19:19 06. 08. 2022 18:19 CET	18	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was okay and a clean stage for us. We will see.
06. 08. 2022 19:03 06. 08. 2022 18:03 CET	17	(55 - Antonov Vitalii / Van Der Rijsen Christiaan): accident in SS 17
06. 08. 2022 18:37 06. 08. 2022 17:37 CET	17	(27 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): accident in SS 17
06. 08. 2022 18:14 06. 08. 2022 17:14 CET	17	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was perfect for me - no worries. I had a good feeling in this stage and the car is working okay.
06. 08. 2022 18:14 06. 08. 2022 17:14 CET	17	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): t's surprisingly okay, but I can not see enough to put the car in the line on the junctions. It's the same with the crests - I am just guessing all the time.
06. 08. 2022 18:14 06. 08. 2022 17:14 CET	17	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We felt a bit of an impact there at the end so we need to have a look.
06. 08. 2022 18:14 06. 08. 2022 17:14 CET	17	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Not so confident. Ott is fast and there is a limit with these cars - I can not do much more. I was already a bit more sensible in this one because there is a lot of loose stones.
06. 08. 2022 18:13 06. 08. 2022 17:13 CET	17	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It feels like we are touching the sump on the gravel a lot and it was very rough. It wasn't so comfortable driving here and it's very hard to find the right pace.
06. 08. 2022 18:13 06. 08. 2022 17:13 CET	17	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had another clean stage and I really enjoyed the last section. We are here with one more to go.
06. 08. 2022 18:13 06. 08. 2022 17:13 CET	17	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): Gus is doing very well. I was thinking my own driving was not so bad, so congrats to him - it's a good time.
06. 08. 2022 18:13 06. 08. 2022 17:13 CET	17	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The last left-hander is not flat, but you can carry a hell of a lot of speed through there. I hooked it up and I could just see trees out of the windscreen and the road through the side window! It was fun.
06. 08. 2022 18:12 06. 08. 2022 17:12 CET	17	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): It was a really difficult stage for me because this morning I had no power steering, so it was like driving here for the first time.
06. 08. 2022 18:12 06. 08. 2022 17:12 CET	17	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I was enjoying this stage but it's tricky with the lines. There is nothing I can really do, I am just enjoying and not pushing.
06. 08. 2022 18:32 06. 08. 2022 17:32 CET	16	(53 - Hytönen Kari / Nisula Suvi): retired in SS 16
06. 08. 2022 18:31 06. 08. 2022 17:31 CET	16	(35 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): retired in SS 16
06. 08. 2022 17:19 06. 08. 2022 16:19 CET	16	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I definitely will try to stay in front. I am not comfortable with the car, but I will keep pushing. I will fight.
06. 08. 2022 17:19 06. 08. 2022 16:19 CET	16	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I am not in the mood to talk now. Sorry.
06. 08. 2022 17:19 06. 08. 2022 16:19 CET	16	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I am struggling. I don't have the feeling I want in these drier conditions and the car is moving a lot. Not easy.
06. 08. 2022 17:16 06. 08. 2022 16:16 CET	16	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): At the moment, it's working in some places and some places it's not. We will see how it plays out when we do all the stages.
06. 08. 2022 17:16 06. 08. 2022 16:16 CET	16	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): A lot of bedrocks are coming up from the ground and I hit them many times. It's quite horrible to feel it but luckily we didn't have punctures.
06. 08. 2022 17:16 06. 08. 2022 16:16 CET	16	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I think it was the first clean and smooth stage we've had all weekend. No big push, just consistent and the conditions were quite nice. I enjoyed it.
06. 08. 2022 17:15 06. 08. 2022 16:15 CET	16	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): In the forest, I hit a big rock in the line. It was a big impact and after that I was a bit careful, but nothing happened.
06. 08. 2022 17:15 06. 08. 2022 16:15 CET	16	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): That felt like a really good stage, but I missed my braking coming into a junction onto some Tarmac. It's disappointing because it felt really good until that.
06. 08. 2022 17:15 06. 08. 2022 16:15 CET	16	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): I think everything is okay. My driving in this stage was okay - not a full push but all good.
06. 08. 2022 17:15 06. 08. 2022 16:15 CET	16	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's really tricky with the rear because we don't have a good line in front of us. It's fun to drive, but in terms of the times it's difficult.
06. 08. 2022 18:00 06. 08. 2022 17:00 CET	15	(48 - McCormack Enda / McCormack Liam): accident in SS 15
06. 08. 2022 16:23 06. 08. 2022 15:23 CET	15	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): For the moment it's definitely enough. We need to continue the same rhythm.
06. 08. 2022 16:16 06. 08. 2022 15:16 CET	15	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Under braking, the front end threw a rock up and it came back into the windscreen. It's straight in my view, so it's not lucky.
06. 08. 2022 16:16 06. 08. 2022 15:16 CET	15	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I had a big moment, but otherwise it was okay but really rough. It felt okay but really aggressive.
06. 08. 2022 16:16 06. 08. 2022 15:16 CET	15	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): The ruts are quite rough, so maybe it happened somewhere there. I had nothing special. It's tricky to be honest - we changed the car quite a bit and one area is better and the other one is not.
06. 08. 2022 16:16 06. 08. 2022 15:16 CET	15	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I was a bit careful in the narrow sections to avoid punctures. I also had a big impact near the start but everything is okay.
06. 08. 2022 16:16 06. 08. 2022 15:16 CET	15	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's very rutted in there and quite destroyed in the last section. I didn't feel good at all, but we are here. It's easy to get a puncture or damage - we just drove cleanly through.
06. 08. 2022 16:15 06. 08. 2022 15:15 CET	15	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It wasn't the cleanest drive - I didn't use the grip enough. It was possible to go a bit faster but it's fine.
06. 08. 2022 16:15 06. 08. 2022 15:15 CET	15	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was the best 9min 41.4sec of my life. I don't know what it is, but there's something about that stage. It's something else.
06. 08. 2022 16:14 06. 08. 2022 15:14 CET	15	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): There is some noise, I don't know what it is - it's something at the end of the stage."
06. 08. 2022 16:14 06. 08. 2022 15:14 CET	15	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The grip is quite high, so it's nice to drive and enjoy. I had a nice feeling but for sure we are in the lines of the national cars, so it's quite tricky.
06. 08. 2022 14:59 06. 08. 2022 13:59 CET	14	(36 - Tahko Riku / Ryynänen Sami): retired after SS 14
06. 08. 2022 14:58 06. 08. 2022 13:58 CET	14	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was a good stage with no real moments. I was in a very good rhythm and it was all we could do.
06. 08. 2022 14:58 06. 08. 2022 13:58 CET	14	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): We had some nice moments at least. It's not an easy stage - the grip is changing here and there. It all went well, but there were some slides.
06. 08. 2022 14:58 06. 08. 2022 13:58 CET	14	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The issue is, you have to be 100 per cent everywhere and that wasn't quite the case. On the long blind corners at the end it's difficult to judge then limit and not go over it.
06. 08. 2022 14:57 06. 08. 2022 13:57 CET	14	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's a new stage, so you can always try to make something. We are lucky to be here - I had one note a bit too fast and I we were completely off the road. That's rally sometimes! We are here, so it's all good.
06. 08. 2022 14:57 06. 08. 2022 13:57 CET	14	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's a very tricky stage. The guys behind will be going much quicker because I was so careful. I am not happy at all with my driving, but the conditions are so tricky. It's better to stay on the road.
06. 08. 2022 14:57 06. 08. 2022 13:57 CET	14	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was an okay morning for us. We've had a clean run through so far. It is what it is - it's not a secret that we can not fight with the guys at the front anymore, and that's not our target either.
06. 08. 2022 14:57 06. 08. 2022 13:57 CET	14	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I did a mistake in a long straight - I braked because I misheard a note. It's tricky.
06. 08. 2022 14:56 06. 08. 2022 13:56 CET	14	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): They were way too slow - especially at the end of the stage. I was hesitating a lot, so it wasn't very good.
06. 08. 2022 14:56 06. 08. 2022 13:56 CET	14	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): It's not nice to drive when you have this kind of issue. Sometimes it's working quite okay, but then other times it's stuck. You have to be really careful.
06. 08. 2022 14:56 06. 08. 2022 13:56 CET	14	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's a brand new stage for everybody but the grip is so inconsistent. It wasn't really easy but we are happy - it was a big challenge to open the road this morning with a lot of big stones out of the line.
06. 08. 2022 14:56 06. 08. 2022 13:56 CET	13	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We are definitely trying. Let's see - we will keep trying.
06. 08. 2022 14:56 06. 08. 2022 13:56 CET	13	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I didn't do such a big mistake like I did in the last one - I was really disappointed at the end of that one. This was a bit better.
06. 08. 2022 14:55 06. 08. 2022 13:55 CET	13	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I couldn't really find the confidence needed to take that last bit of risk. I was maybe too careful on some of the notes as well in the first part. Just not full on it.
06. 08. 2022 14:55 06. 08. 2022 13:55 CET	13	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Let's see how the other guys come. Not a good stage for me - I don't like it so much and there are some seconds I could take off.
06. 08. 2022 14:55 06. 08. 2022 13:55 CET	13	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's hard to find the confidence in the grip, so I am struggling. I didn't do this stage last year, but it should be okay now.
06. 08. 2022 14:55 06. 08. 2022 13:55 CET	13	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): All okay - I was just a bit surprised by the grip and I had to put the car sideways. It's much better now than this morning, but we have to try and keep Taka behind.
06. 08. 2022 14:54 06. 08. 2022 13:54 CET	13	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It's okay. I was a bit careful here because I didn't do this one last year. The rally is still long and we need to stay on the road.
06. 08. 2022 14:54 06. 08. 2022 13:54 CET	13	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was pretty bad, but more because of the driver than anything else. I can't drive at the moment.
06. 08. 2022 14:54 06. 08. 2022 13:54 CET	13	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): Power steering. There is nothing we can do here, so I am just driving.
06. 08. 2022 14:54 06. 08. 2022 13:54 CET	13	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We had heavy rain before the start. It was humid and damp, but there was no standing water and for sure it was a bit better. There's a lot of sweeping, but it's a good experience.
06. 08. 2022 14:59 06. 08. 2022 13:59 CET	12	(24 - Heikkilä Mikko / Vaaleri Samu): accident in SS 12
06. 08. 2022 14:53 06. 08. 2022 13:53 CET	12	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We are trying our best. I don't know if it's struggling, but it's just difficult. The conditions are actually quite consistent but something else makes it inconsistent.
06. 08. 2022 14:53 06. 08. 2022 13:53 CET	12	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's not easy. It's very slippery and I made many mistakes. I thought I was early on this junction but no - it's too slippery!
06. 08. 2022 14:53 06. 08. 2022 13:53 CET	12	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I probably focused too much on being tidy and in the clean line. I could sort of sense it, but it's hard to know in conditions like that. In can go one of two ways.
06. 08. 2022 14:53 06. 08. 2022 13:53 CET	12	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I just try to do the best I can. This was a cleaner stage than the one before, so hopefully the time is good. I don't mind the rain.
06. 08. 2022 14:52 06. 08. 2022 13:52 CET	12	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's very slippery - I don't know why we stalled the engine there under braking. It's not nice.
06. 08. 2022 14:52 06. 08. 2022 13:52 CET	12	(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): accident in SS 12
06. 08. 2022 14:52 06. 08. 2022 13:52 CET	12	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am not comfortable to be honest. The car set-up is better now, but I am missing the precision. I tried to drive fast and enjoy as well, but you can feel while you are driving that it's not enough.
06. 08. 2022 14:52 06. 08. 2022 13:52 CET	12	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was very, very difficult. There are some places at the end where you have no grip and I was aquaplaning in two or three places. It's very easy to go a mistake.
06. 08. 2022 14:51 06. 08. 2022 13:51 CET	12	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I was aquaplaning absolutely everywhere and having massive snaps at 190kph! We were just about keeping it on the road.
06. 08. 2022 14:51 06. 08. 2022 13:51 CET	12	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): There was heavy rain, so it was difficult to see and also hard to keep the car on the road - even in the straight lines.
06. 08. 2022 14:51 06. 08. 2022 13:51 CET	12	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was really tricky. The only grip I could get was in the line of the recce but we started to have some standing water and I was aquaplaning a lot. At 180kph, the wipers don't go quick enough.
06. 08. 2022 14:50 06. 08. 2022 13:50 CET	11	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The conditions are not so difficult, but this thing is a nightmare to drive. We'll keep fighting.
06. 08. 2022 14:50 06. 08. 2022 13:50 CET	11	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I don't know. I believe it's just down to lack of grip - it's quite slippery. We did what we could.
06. 08. 2022 14:49 06. 08. 2022 13:49 CET	11	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's a great stage and we had a pretty good run. Of course, there are always things you can do better, but it was all okay.
06. 08. 2022 14:49 06. 08. 2022 13:49 CET	11	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Pretty okay. Not so easy conditions and I was not having the perfect pace all the time. Let's see how the others come.
06. 08. 2022 14:49 06. 08. 2022 13:49 CET	11	(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Let's see. I enjoyed it and had a nice rhythm. For sure, there was a bit of cleaning and maybe the rain was worse for the guys in front.
06. 08. 2022 14:49 06. 08. 2022 13:49 CET	11	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's quite okay grip and I was very careful because I did not know how slip it is. I have never been on this stage in a rally car - usually before this day I have crashed or retired! It was enjoyable.
06. 08. 2022 14:48 06. 08. 2022 13:48 CET	11	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's difficult again for me to drive. We had to change the diffs yesterday and I don't feel so comfortable, but we are going to work on it. It's like this.
06. 08. 2022 14:48 06. 08. 2022 13:48 CET	11	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): In a junction I got back on the throttle too early and I touched something. It's nothing.
06. 08. 2022 14:48 06. 08. 2022 13:48 CET	11	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The best stage in the world didn't have very much grip! It was slippery but enjoyable, but for sure we were a long way from the limit in there.
06. 08. 2022 14:48 06. 08. 2022 13:48 CET	11	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): It's an amazing stage with this car. It's coming quite okay but I was not driving so good. We can improve.
06. 08. 2022 14:47 06. 08. 2022 13:47 CET	11	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's really nice to drive. In some places we have a lot of grip but in others it's like ice. We had a good feelign with the car.
05. 08. 2022 20:50 05. 08. 2022 19:50 CET	10	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): It's super nice to feel the grip level and power from the car. It's a shame we had the problem and we couldn't really push.
05. 08. 2022 20:50 05. 08. 2022 19:50 CET	10	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's been a difficult day, especially this morning. I had a really good stage in here but I am probably not enough in the lines of the others, so we need to understand that.
05. 08. 2022 20:43 05. 08. 2022 19:43 CET	10	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It's been a good day. I did my best and it wasn't easy. The times don't look so nice but we will continue to push and see what we can do.
05. 08. 2022 20:40 05. 08. 2022 19:40 CET	10	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's been a very good day indeed. The car has been amazing and the driving has also been really good. We improved our speed a bit in the afternoon and it's a nice fight for tomorrow.
05. 08. 2022 20:34 05. 08. 2022 19:34 CET	10	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was a better afternoon. The stages are just incredible and it's a pleasure to drive them.
05. 08. 2022 20:34 05. 08. 2022 19:34 CET	10	(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I wouldn't be so happy with fifth place. I am trying, honestly, and that was a good stage. I don't really know.
05. 08. 2022 20:31 05. 08. 2022 19:31 CET	10	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I had a big sideways moment and I pushed a button accidentally. We had no hybrid for a short section and it was a stupid mistake.
05. 08. 2022 20:31 05. 08. 2022 19:31 CET	10	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): In this stage I tried to go a bit faster, but then the mistakes start to come. It's been a tiring day and my battery is quite flat. Bed is waiting!
05. 08. 2022 20:24 05. 08. 2022 19:24 CET	10	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I can't say I'm satisfied really. I haven't felt completely with it from the word go and we just haven't hit the mark. It got better this afternoon and hopefully we can carry that momentum into tomorrow.
05. 08. 2022 20:24 05. 08. 2022 19:24 CET	10	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The second pass is a bit easier - you can be more confident and trust in the car. We are getting closer but we are still not there yet. We have to keep an eye on Katsuta and Breen tomorrow.
05. 08. 2022 20:17 05. 08. 2022 19:17 CET	10	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I have to be quite happy. I think we pushed quite hard all the time and we could not do much more. This one was quite slippery again.
05. 08. 2022 19:56 05. 08. 2022 18:56 CET	9	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): I think I am having the same issue and I lost the power in some points.
05. 08. 2022 19:56 05. 08. 2022 18:56 CET	9	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Everything is okay. We had a big impact with a rock on the chassis and I was quite worried that I damaged something. It's not a stage that I really like, but it's okay.
05. 08. 2022 19:47 05. 08. 2022 18:47 CET	9	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I just drove very carefully. I had a big moment and on one long flat-out corner, I don't know what happened, but we lost the power.
05. 08. 2022 19:47 05. 08. 2022 18:47 CET	9	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I made less mistakes and I drove better. I avoided the rocks to be fair, so I could have been even faster if I stayed on the line. We are driving very well at the moment.
05. 08. 2022 19:41 05. 08. 2022 18:41 CET	9	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I didn't feel like I had a very good run, so I'm a bit surprised at the time. It's okay.
05. 08. 2022 19:40 05. 08. 2022 18:40 CET	9	(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): They had a right good spot! I know what it takes to be fast here and I'm certainly trying everything I know. We've gone well here in the past but we're certainly missing something.
05. 08. 2022 19:40 05. 08. 2022 18:40 CET	9	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I tried, but I made some really big mistakes and lost a lot of time. I carried a lot of speed a lot but in a tight corner I couldn't make it.
05. 08. 2022 19:31 05. 08. 2022 18:31 CET	9	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The first loop was better. In this one it was a bit loose and softer than I expected and the car felt a bit lazy.
05. 08. 2022 19:31 05. 08. 2022 18:31 CET	9	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It felt like a good stage to be honest. There's always one or two areas you can be quicker, but that's how it is.
05. 08. 2022 19:30 05. 08. 2022 18:30 CET	9	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage. I felt okay in the car and in the ruts I could push a bit harder, so it was easier.
05. 08. 2022 19:30 05. 08. 2022 18:30 CET	9	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I tried. It was a bit more difficult than I was expecting with the lines of the small cars. In some corners I couldn't find a clean line and I lost a lot of time going wide on the loose gravel. It's like this.
05. 08. 2022 19:00 05. 08. 2022 18:00 CET	8	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): It's some fuel pressure problem. When I put the stage mode on, there's not enough fuel going to the engine so it keeps stopping. I don't know what to do.
05. 08. 2022 18:59 05. 08. 2022 17:59 CET	8	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): stopped in stage - car conked out on a tight right-hander and took a while to fire up again
05. 08. 2022 18:59 05. 08. 2022 17:59 CET	8	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The rally is over for us, so now it's about trying to enjoy and gaining the experience.
05. 08. 2022 18:59 05. 08. 2022 17:59 CET	8	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I was feeling like I did a good stage. It was not so bad but the time is not amazing. It's like that and we will contnue.
05. 08. 2022 18:25 05. 08. 2022 17:25 CET	8	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): My braking in the junctions was really good - I got some nice boost from that. It was a nice stage, a really nice stage.
05. 08. 2022 18:22 05. 08. 2022 17:22 CET	8	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): All okay - we were having fun in that one. Serious.
05. 08. 2022 18:22 05. 08. 2022 17:22 CET	8	(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): She's not feeling perfect - we bent something in the previous one and we're just trying to manage it. That's a cracking time from Tänak.
05. 08. 2022 18:16 05. 08. 2022 17:16 CET	8	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): This stage seemed quite okay. It could be better, but it was an improvement on the last one. In Ässämäki I need to push a bit more, but the risk is if you get a puncture you can lose more time.
05. 08. 2022 18:14 05. 08. 2022 17:14 CET	8	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): In this stage things were feeling more comfortable and we had a good rhythm.
05. 08. 2022 18:14 05. 08. 2022 17:14 CET	8	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): There's a long way to go - of course we know it's close. I had a better feeling in here than I did in the previous one, but Kalle's clearly driving well.
05. 08. 2022 18:07 05. 08. 2022 17:07 CET	8	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had a good stage to be honest. I am driving at the speed I can at the moment. I am still not happy with the rear and I don't know how fast I can go without losing control. It's a fine line and I am not there yet.
05. 08. 2022 18:07 05. 08. 2022 17:07 CET	8	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I've always liked this stage - it's a nice one. I was absolutely on the limit for the whole stage and being first on the road I can not do much more than that.
05. 08. 2022 19:00 05. 08. 2022 18:00 CET	7	(32 - Gill Gaurav / Morales Gabriel): retired in SS 7
05. 08. 2022 17:42 05. 08. 2022 16:42 CET	7	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): It was a really nice stage but there were a lot of rocks. I hit one of them and I felt like I had a puncture, but I did not.
05. 08. 2022 17:42 05. 08. 2022 16:42 CET	7	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): There is not so much grip in this one and I had a moment on the first corner. I was lucky, but I lose a bit of time because I thought I had a puncture.
05. 08. 2022 17:30 05. 08. 2022 16:30 CET	7	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's not a battle. I am losing all the time! Ott is doing a good job.
05. 08. 2022 17:30 05. 08. 2022 16:30 CET	7	(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I had a huge impact with a rock on the line on a right corner through a dip. I need to go and look at it now - there's something not quite right.
05. 08. 2022 17:30 05. 08. 2022 16:30 CET	7	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Not very good. It's still tricky in some corners because of the bedrocks and I was being too careful not to get a puncture. Everything is fine.
05. 08. 2022 17:21 05. 08. 2022 16:21 CET	7	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Obviously I am taking risks. In some places I feel okay, but in others you get surprises and you feel like you are slow. I would say overall we had a clean run - that's all we can do at the moment.
05. 08. 2022 17:20 05. 08. 2022 16:20 CET	7	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I knew at the end that it wasn't going to be a good run. The time is not a surprise.
05. 08. 2022 17:20 05. 08. 2022 16:20 CET	7	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I felt like I had a puncture at one point so I took it a bit more steady, but I felt a bit more confident in the car.
05. 08. 2022 17:20 05. 08. 2022 16:20 CET	7	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Of course, we will try to stay in the fight. This was a pretty good stage for me - I feel I left nothing in there. I don't know what else we could do - hopefully the time is okay.
05. 08. 2022 13:37 05. 08. 2022 12:37 CET	5	Stage was cancelled.
05. 08. 2022 13:36 05. 08. 2022 12:36 CET	5	Stage was red-flagged after start of Rovanperä due to safety reasons.
05. 08. 2022 13:36 05. 08. 2022 12:36 CET	4	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): Lots of learning. It feels much better, but the time gap is quite big still.
05. 08. 2022 13:36 05. 08. 2022 12:36 CET	4	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We have a leak with the power steering so we can not fix it during this loop. I need to do what I can, but the steering is so tight.
05. 08. 2022 13:35 05. 08. 2022 12:35 CET	4	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I stalled on the start! The strategy was not working and I lifted off the throttle too fast.
05. 08. 2022 13:35 05. 08. 2022 12:35 CET	4	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It feels okay. Ott is doing a really nice job, but we had a really clean run. In some places I was too slow, but you can not do every corner perfect.
05. 08. 2022 13:35 05. 08. 2022 12:35 CET	4	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): That felt better, but a long way from perfect. I made a couple of mistakes in there that cost a few seconds.
05. 08. 2022 13:35 05. 08. 2022 12:35 CET	4	(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I got completely off-line very close to the finish. I was trying to make a bit of time back that we lost this morning.
05. 08. 2022 13:34 05. 08. 2022 12:34 CET	4	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I don't know why, this stage is more slippery than the others and I didn't feel so comfortable. The next stage will be better and I'll try to push in that one.
05. 08. 2022 13:34 05. 08. 2022 12:34 CET	4	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's a bit tricky. My hands are shaking a bit after a run like this. I'm not enjoying it.
05. 08. 2022 13:34 05. 08. 2022 12:34 CET	4	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Pretty okay. It doesn't feel 100 per cent right somehow, but it was a clean run with no real mistakes. We need to work on a few things.
05. 08. 2022 13:34 05. 08. 2022 12:34 CET	4	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): To be honest, I tried to push a bit more but I feel like it's not coming together yet. We are constantly working and it's not easy.
05. 08. 2022 13:33 05. 08. 2022 12:33 CET	4	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): All the lines are there now, but it's still quite clogged after the 0 cars and everything. I am still opening the road in places, but it's better than the morning.
05. 08. 2022 13:59 05. 08. 2022 12:59 CET	3	(45 - Rytkönen Anssi / Koskela Juho-Ville): retired in SS 3
05. 08. 2022 13:58 05. 08. 2022 12:58 CET	3	(41 - Heino Tommi / Öhman Patric): accident in SS 3
05. 08. 2022 13:58 05. 08. 2022 12:58 CET	3	(35 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): retired in SS 3
05. 08. 2022 13:33 05. 08. 2022 12:33 CET	3	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): Adrien touched a big rock. It's a nice stage, but it's my first time ever in this one and it's quite hard to drive fast. On this first pass I want to check things a little bit.
05. 08. 2022 13:33 05. 08. 2022 12:33 CET	3	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): hit the stone and damaged steering arm
05. 08. 2022 13:32 05. 08. 2022 12:32 CET	3	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I think we did a pretty good job in our preparations for this stage, but so did the others. When you have a new stage there's always a chance, but everybody knows it. The gaps are small anyway.
05. 08. 2022 13:32 05. 08. 2022 12:32 CET	3	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The car's fine - it's me. I don't know what's up. I tried my best to make it work.
05. 08. 2022 13:32 05. 08. 2022 12:32 CET	3	(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It was a lot of fun. The average speed must be unbelievable in there, but it was more slippery than I expected. I was hesitating so many times, but I enjoyed it anyway.
05. 08. 2022 13:31 05. 08. 2022 12:31 CET	3	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's not too bad, but I was not so happy with my driving because I was hesitating in many places where I could have been flat-out. It's a very high-speed stage.
05. 08. 2022 13:31 05. 08. 2022 12:31 CET	3	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It still could have been better. It's difficult coming here with brand-new notes and it's such a fast stage. The sand kind of holds you - it's quite a different surface to the previous one and you can carry more speed than you think.
05. 08. 2022 13:31 05. 08. 2022 12:31 CET	3	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): All fine, but the grip is changing for me all the time. I just can not do more. There are a lot of corners which I know are flat, but I don't have the confidence. We can change what we want, but we will not find a good setting. It's frustrating but it's like this.
05. 08. 2022 13:30 05. 08. 2022 12:30 CET	3	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Quite slippery. I enjoyed the stage, but being the first car is not always the most enjoyable. When you try to push hard you get some surprises, but we are here and we don't want to take any stupid risks.
05. 08. 2022 13:30 05. 08. 2022 12:30 CET	2	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): Lots of learning! In some places I am braking too early and in other places I am properly sideways. We will get there step-by-step.
05. 08. 2022 13:30 05. 08. 2022 12:30 CET	2	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Oliver was really unfortunate - it was quite a slippery corner and I was surprised to see him. We had a clean stage and I had good confidence with the car. I tried to keep it within the lines, but it was a good start.
05. 08. 2022 13:29 05. 08. 2022 12:29 CET	2	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): On an apex I touched a rock that wasn't there on the recce. I got lucky on it.
05. 08. 2022 13:29 05. 08. 2022 12:29 CET	2	(2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): accident in SS 2
05. 08. 2022 13:29 05. 08. 2022 12:29 CET	2	(2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): crashed just 300 metres into the stage
05. 08. 2022 13:28 05. 08. 2022 12:28 CET	2	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I think the time is pretty okay and I am satisfied with it. I know where I can be better, so it's not a problem.
05. 08. 2022 13:28 05. 08. 2022 12:28 CET	2	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was not the easiest stage. I didn't feel like I had any grip, so it's pretty hard to push. Even when you've got no grip, it still feels pretty god-damn epic...
05. 08. 2022 13:28 05. 08. 2022 12:28 CET	2	(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I have a small little problem with the intercom and I have only one earbud working. It's a little bit distracting, but quite an okay start.
05. 08. 2022 13:28 05. 08. 2022 12:28 CET	2	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I spun at the end of the stage. I did a 360 because I spun the wrong way around. Maybe a few seconds I lost, but it's okay.
05. 08. 2022 13:27 05. 08. 2022 12:27 CET	2	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): spun
05. 08. 2022 13:27 05. 08. 2022 12:27 CET	2	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): No doubt it will be cleaning a lot for Kalle and Thierry, so we need to take the advantage at the moment. For sure, it's not comfortable in the car, but that's the only way we can go at the moment. We need to feel uncomfortable today.
05. 08. 2022 13:27 05. 08. 2022 12:27 CET	2	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm not fully satisfied. It felt like there were certain areas I could have done better, but it's okay.
05. 08. 2022 13:27 05. 08. 2022 12:27 CET	2	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): My driving was good, but as soon as the road gets more flat, I have no grip. I am sliding and we just don't get any traction. We lost it all towards the end.
05. 08. 2022 13:26 05. 08. 2022 12:26 CET	2	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): There was a bit more cleaning than I was expecting. A lot of loose - it's not easy, but I tried my best.
04. 08. 2022 21:05 04. 08. 2022 20:05 CET	1	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Of course, the feeling and expectations are there, but I think I put them on my own side anyway to try and win every rally. The situation is the same, we just have more support and it's a crazy atmosphere.
04. 08. 2022 20:58 04. 08. 2022 19:58 CET	1	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I always like the super special stages and I had some great fun in there, but tomorrow is a whole different world. At the moment I do not feel comfortable. We made some set-up changes in shakedown and I'm crossing my fingers that tomorrow I will have a better feeling.
04. 08. 2022 20:58 04. 08. 2022 19:58 CET	1	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): You just need to have that level of confidence with the car and notes where everything is working. We certainly hope to find that but there's no guarantee.
04. 08. 2022 20:52 04. 08. 2022 19:52 CET	1	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): In this stage we were fighting so hard with the car... it's living its own life.
04. 08. 2022 20:48 04. 08. 2022 19:48 CET	1	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We have no hybrid boost... It's not nice to be like this at the start, but hopefully the team can fix it.
04. 08. 2022 20:47 04. 08. 2022 19:47 CET	1	(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I tried my best to get through without making too many mistakes, but it was a lot slippier than I expected.
04. 08. 2022 20:46 04. 08. 2022 19:46 CET	1	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's a proper day tomorrow with some of the most beautiful stages we'll see all year. I hate this stage, so I'm always glad to see the end of it. We'll go tomorrow.
04. 08. 2022 20:46 04. 08. 2022 19:46 CET	1	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I said let's go through this stage and then we will start to drive tomorrow. I have been trying for five years to get a second Finland win - you always like to!
04. 08. 2022 20:45 04. 08. 2022 19:45 CET	1	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It's always amazing to be on such a special rally. We will try to enjoy and take maximum pleasure.
04. 08. 2022 20:45 04. 08. 2022 19:45 CET	1	(2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It's a dream come true to drive a WRC car in Finland. I took this one very easy - it's easy to make a mistake. The real rally starts tomorrow.
04. 08. 2022 20:45 04. 08. 2022 19:45 CET	1	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was the first stage and it's completely different to what we will find tomorrow. The key thing was not to make any mistakes and not to lose too much time.
04. 08. 2022 20:45 04. 08. 2022 19:45 CET	1	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): It was an amazing feeling! I am happy that I didn't hit anything, so for me I think it's going quite well! It's nice to feel the power when you open the throttle.
04. 08. 2022 13:46 04. 08. 2022 12:46 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(26 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): accident in shakedown
04. 08. 2022 13:45 04. 08. 2022 12:45 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(68 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): It feels amazing. It was quite an easy start to try and get the feeling and it kind of feels like my first time in a rally car! We will try to enjoy this weekend.
04. 08. 2022 13:45 04. 08. 2022 12:45 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Honestly, I am really surprised about the grip we have in these conditions. It's really nice to drive and I was enjoying the clean road. I am not usually fast on shakedown, so it's positive.
04. 08. 2022 13:44 04. 08. 2022 12:44 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I struggled. I don't have any rear grip. The time is actually okay considering the spin - I am quite surprised.
04. 08. 2022 13:44 04. 08. 2022 12:44 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I am very happy to be here in a WRC car. I was very careful because we changed some settings, but it's okay. The second run will be much better and we will try to enjoy. It's fantastic to be in this car here.
04. 08. 2022 13:44 04. 08. 2022 12:44 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It feels amazing. It was already quite a special moment last year after being away for a few months, but now there are so many people here already. I really enjoyed it. I am targeting a good result, but let's see how the weekend goes.
04. 08. 2022 13:44 04. 08. 2022 12:44 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's one of the best. A proper wake-up call when you've not had a test! We'll get the feeling this morning and then push for it over the weekend.
04. 08. 2022 13:43 04. 08. 2022 12:43 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's an amazing bit of road here to get settled in and I'm looking forward to it. The car feels absolutely fantastic even though we were a bit cautious in there, but I can't wait. It's going to be a good weekend.
04. 08. 2022 13:43 04. 08. 2022 12:43 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I am very excited and this is my home rally, so I will try to enjoy and push. It feels very special, but I want to enjoy it - this is the most important thing.
04. 08. 2022 13:43 04. 08. 2022 12:43 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's not coming from us! There is no feeling in the car. Finland will be difficult.
04. 08. 2022 13:43 04. 08. 2022 12:43 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We're looking forward to the weekend. It's always exciting here, so let's see what it brings. It's always quite high-speed obviously, so who knows.
04. 08. 2022 13:42 04. 08. 2022 12:42 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't think it's possible to beat the Toyotas, but we will see. There are some interesting stages ahead and hopefully we can find a good set-up to feel confident. We're going to push for it.
04. 08. 2022 13:42 04. 08. 2022 12:42 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Of course it's nice to be here. Finally we can have a normal Rally Finland with a lot of people here. Hopefully it's a good weekend.
