Date and time SS Information
27. 08. 2023 23:01 CET 13 flash info (18 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): It's my father's birthday and my son's in three days. We are at the finish, it was a difficult rally and I'm very tired. But I'm very happy.
27. 08. 2023 23:01 CET 13 flash info (14 - Csomós Miklós / Bán Viktor): It's a good feeling, it's amazing. I'd like to thank my very small team. We enjoyed the whole week. Thanks to my family, sponsors and Pirellis, everything has been good all week.
27. 08. 2023 23:00 CET 13 flash info (21 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): I am feeling good, it's a shame it's just a few seconds, it's nothing on the 200km of this rally. I have to say thanks to the team, the supporters and mostly to my Dad. Thanks.
27. 08. 2023 23:00 CET 13 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Winter Gerald): I don't like to give something away, so let's see. I tried to be clean and not push so much so let's see. It's just incredible and so much fun, we were hoping to have more speed but it's okay. Thanks to the team, thanks to Michelin and fingers crossed.
27. 08. 2023 23:00 CET 13 flash info (9 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): I tried to do a clean stage, but it's not easy, hats off to the young guys on this rally. We struggled a lot on this rally at the start, so we couldn't finish so high up. But thanks to the team and thanks to the sponsor and hopefully we will do well for the next rally.
27. 08. 2023 22:59 CET 13 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): I have to say a big thanks to my team, they prepared our Škoda really well, and my MIchelin tyres but particularly our spectators. They came out and supported us and me and Igor were really happy, a little disappointed as we could've got more but really happy.
27. 08. 2023 22:59 CET 13 flash info (3 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): We tried our best, we were running the limit all weekend, I'm really happy to be here. At the beginning, it was not our plan to be here but a local team gave me a really good car. Like I told you, if you are pushing hard and on the limit you can see the results. I want to thank MRF, Rally Spain and all our sponsors and my family. Honestly, I think we did a fantastic rally.
27. 08. 2023 22:59 CET 13 flash info (7 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): With my team I can live this adventure, they're amazing so thank you! This is a difficult rally, lots of dips, lots of bumps, lots of pace and lots of slip. But I feel it has gone well.
27. 08. 2023 22:58 CET 13 flash info (15 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): It was a really nice weekend for us, we are really happy to be here and we have to thank everybody who is helping us to participate in such a great championship. Here in Barum I didn't drive a lot before and when you come here without a clear target it's hard to push for the beginning. But next time we hope to be in with a chance to fight for something and next time we will push.
27. 08. 2023 22:58 CET 13 flash info (12 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): It's a bad afternoon, but we've learnt a lot this event, coming here for the first time is daunting, but it's encouraging going forward. We need more miles under our belt to get to the top end.
27. 08. 2023 22:58 CET 13 flash info (2 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): It didn't feel so well, we had quite big understeer. We tried to change the setup in service so the feeling was better, but it felt the same. Way too much understeer, I don't have the ability to be faster.
27. 08. 2023 22:57 CET 13 flash info (33 - Schulz Timo / Wenzel Michael): Really cool, we are so so happy to get this result, we had a great rally with the best stage times and just perfect, thank you!

20. 08. 2023 16:54 CET 13 retired (2 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): retired after SS 13
20. 08. 2023 16:52 CET 13 Stage is stopped, car no 22 is blocking the road
20. 08. 2023 16:52 CET 13 retired (22 - Vlček Martin / Kunst Jakub): accident in SS 13
20. 08. 2023 16:50 CET 13 Starting order: Schulz, Ostberg, McErlean, Sesks, Tempestini, Franceschi, Llarena, Cais, Stříteský, Mareš, Wagner, Březík, Csomós, Kopecký
27. 08. 2023 22:52 CET 12 flash info (2 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): I think the hard tyre is the best tyre to be honest, it's quite an open stage, wider, it's much more of a racing stage. You have a few places with gravel which can also take you out, as we saw with Hayden, but also some forest sections too. It doesn't feel like we are going to win the Power Stage but I have been cruising recently and I need to get into racing mode.
27. 08. 2023 22:52 CET 12 flash info (18 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): On this stage, I was going fast where it was dry and in the forest I was cautious, on the first left corner we hit something and I thought we had a puncture, luckily we didn't but we have to try and manage this.
27. 08. 2023 22:52 CET 12 flash info (14 - Csomós Miklós / Bán Viktor): So there is a rear problem with the car, it's becoming a real problem.
27. 08. 2023 22:51 CET 12 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Winter Gerald): I really have no idea, the tyre feels a bit soft. No confidence at all, but there's still one stage to go.
27. 08. 2023 22:51 CET 12 flash info (21 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): It's unbelievable, this stage was crazy.
27. 08. 2023 22:51 CET 12 flash info (9 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): We'll see on the Power Stage, this one was a huge amount of pleasure to be honest though. It was dry, wide, narrow, muddy - really pure racing and really pure rallying.
27. 08. 2023 22:51 CET 12 flash info (20 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): I did the maximum, I gave it my all. We are 6.0sec behind Erik but he is absolutely flying.
27. 08. 2023 22:50 CET 12 flash info (3 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): I touched a wall in a really slow corner, but it is what it is.
27. 08. 2023 22:50 CET 12 flash info (7 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Really happy, I take maximum pleasure and it was very nice to drive the car on this stage. Forest section went better than this morning, now looking forward to the Power Stage.
27. 08. 2023 22:50 CET 12 flash info (12 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): Similar problem to the first stage, not sure what it is, it's quite dangerous though cause the car shuts off mid-course.
27. 08. 2023 22:50 CET 12 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): There is no point about it, it's good fun. Bit disappointed about what happened yesterday, but it's on my shoulders. Trying to rebuild the pace today and step up the table. Happy with this.
27. 08. 2023 22:49 CET 12 flash info (15 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): For us the stage was okay, we keep learning on these kind of stages, without the rear tyres it's not easy. There are a lot of fast sections where I feel like the rear is moving everywhere. We keep checking the pace notes and moving forward.
27. 08. 2023 22:49 CET 12 flash info (6 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I think it has become more slippery, when we did it first time I think it was a bit drier now, it is so dry you can even see it now. Just need to drive through the Power Stage.
20. 08. 2023 16:06 CET 12 retired (93 - Kolář Michal / Gerych Jiří): broken wheel
20. 08. 2023 15:47 CET 12 (63 - Nwelati Dominik / Stross Jiří): puncture
20. 08. 2023 15:22 CET 12 Stage continues.
20. 08. 2023 15:06 CET 12 Stage is stopped because car no. 32 is on bad position.
20. 08. 2023 15:06 CET 12 retired (32 - McRae Max / Kierans Macartan): broken wheel in SS 12
20. 08. 2023 15:05 CET 12 (35 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): was out of road
20. 08. 2023 14:40 CET 12 (10 - Wagner Simon / Winter Gerald): was out of road
20. 08. 2023 14:25 CET 12 (12 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): stopped in stage with technical issues, continue
27. 08. 2023 22:48 CET 11 flash info (2 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): It's a bit boring but it's not difficult cause I just reduce the speed, I was just saying as we passed the finish line it's a shame we're not pushing, but we need to focus on bringing the car to the Power Stage.
27. 08. 2023 22:48 CET 11 flash info (18 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): Early in the morning we were a bit too stiff, the car was jumping from the rear which didn't fill me with confidence as it's very easy to make a mistake here. But now it's perfect.
27. 08. 2023 22:48 CET 11 flash info (14 - Csomós Miklós / Bán Viktor): My drive is not so good, too much brake so not so good. The time is good.
27. 08. 2023 22:47 CET 11 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Winter Gerald): It's all OK, just one bump hit us a bit hard and we went off the line a bit but other than that it was a clean run.
27. 08. 2023 22:47 CET 11 flash info (21 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): It's crazy, we prayed before Barum that the weather would be good, now this stage is like a rollercoaster.
27. 08. 2023 22:47 CET 11 flash info (9 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): To be honest, I really enjoy this stage. It's a nice one, it's a really famous stage in this country. Hopefully the time is competitive and let's see what these guys do behind us.
27. 08. 2023 22:47 CET 11 flash info (20 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): Didn't go well, we'll wait for Mares and Brezík. I think it's not our best stage, but we try our best.
27. 08. 2023 22:47 CET 11 flash info (3 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): The car was OK, now I was enjoying every corner of the stage. We did our best.
27. 08. 2023 22:46 CET 11 flash info (7 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): I don't have a goal for a position, the goal is to have a good time per km, I really don't like this stage though. I'm looking forward to the final two stages.
27. 08. 2023 22:46 CET 11 flash info (12 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): We lost power 2km in, so we need to check it.
27. 08. 2023 22:46 CET 11 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): I was standing on the start line thinking how lucky I am to be in this beautiful car in this beautiful event, it was an absolutely clear stage from us. We're just enjoying it and hopefully the time will be good.
27. 08. 2023 22:46 CET 11 flash info (15 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): It felt a bit better, unfortunately our balance is not the perfect one, the rear tyres have many kilometres and one has more than 100km! This weekend we made some bad choices of tyres and we're now paying for that.
27. 08. 2023 22:45 CET 11 flash info (6 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Let's see, we have to do the last stage another time so we'll see then.
27. 08. 2023 22:45 CET 11 flash info (16 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Hain Jara): Some parts are better because we have a line and the dust comes off the line, other parts are quite slippery. We improved our time quite significantly, even if we had a clean run this morning.
20. 08. 2023 14:05 CET 11 retired (16 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Hain Jara): technical problem - fuel pump after SS 11
20. 08. 2023 13:31 CET 11 (12 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): technical problems
27. 08. 2023 22:44 CET 10 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We've been learning a lot this year so if we can put a program together for next year and use this experience to build some speed. We've got unfinished business. Win the championship this year and then come out and win some rallies next year!
27. 08. 2023 22:43 CET 10 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): As we were coming through the gravel section there was a right and a left and I slowed down too much for the right so I thought ' ok, the grip is higher than expected', so I pushed down on the left but then I pushed too hard and then there was a tree! So that's the end of that unfortunately. I knew straight away we weren't gonna get away with that. On the positive side the championship is still looking OK as things stand, I said we don't want to win it parked up on the side of the road, technically we aren't now, but we'll see what happens this afternoon. We've done the hard work where we could make a mistake like this, we've held the pace over Mārtinš this weekend and held a good position in terms of making sure we got points. All in all, we're very happy with how the season has gone.
27. 08. 2023 22:42 CET 10 flash info (30 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): We broke the steering, it was very hard from the gravel section. I don't know if we can get it back to service, we will see.
27. 08. 2023 22:42 CET 10 flash info (35 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): First stage this morning we had to reverse, we lost 5sec on the second stage. Took it easy on this stage and hopefully we'll be better off.
27. 08. 2023 22:41 CET 10 flash info (32 - McRae Max / Kierans Macartan): Yeah it was a small misjudgement on the notes and it wasn't flat, so that was a big moment but we're fine.
27. 08. 2023 22:41 CET 10 flash info (33 - Schulz Timo / Wenzel Michael): Yeah it's quite okay, we had a clean run here in the stage, we were a little bit cautious. We have the same lead as yesterday evening so going into the midday service quite happy.
27. 08. 2023 22:41 CET 10 flash info (46 - Jirásek Aleš / Machů Petr): It's my first time here so I had found it difficult and found it a bit slippery, but I've tried to manage the pace.
27. 08. 2023 22:41 CET 10 flash info (45 - Cvrček Věroslav jun. / Těšínský Petr): We are getting experience, so we need to go to finish and get experience. I want to thank my team, family and sponsors for support, it's an amazing place and we're glad to be here.
27. 08. 2023 22:40 CET 10 flash info (2 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): Normally we're good, so we'll see on the next pass.
27. 08. 2023 22:40 CET 10 flash info (18 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): It's a bit closer and it gives me more motivation to push, this stage was completely dry so my car was working well. On the previous ones where they a little narrow, it isn't perfect but we'll change something so it is a bit better. It'll be an interesting afternoon.
27. 08. 2023 22:40 CET 10 flash info (14 - Csomós Miklós / Bán Viktor): Maybe the last section is Mixy style, we had a big save in there. It's amazing in the car in the stage, we enjoy it.
27. 08. 2023 22:40 CET 10 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Winter Gerald): We tried to enjoy it, we changed the setup to what we had yesterday and the feeling is much better. I'm confident the afternoon will be tricky but we have good car and good tyres, so I'm sure it will be fine.
27. 08. 2023 22:40 CET 10 flash info (21 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): It's very difficult to fight for a podium but it's not our main goal, we want to be at the finish line, the whole car. We have to learn so much and improve lots of things.
27. 08. 2023 22:39 CET 10 flash info (3 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It was OK, but this stage was really tricky, I did my best and we had a lot of moments with the car. I think we did a good job compared to the other MRF cars.
27. 08. 2023 22:39 CET 10 flash info (7 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): I think because the stage is new for everyone, there was a gravel section. It was my first time it's Tarmac tyres on the gravel section.
27. 08. 2023 22:39 CET 10 flash info (12 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): It's quite a compromise compared to the other stages, the grip is changing a fair bit. It's high commitment in places and I'm just lagging a bit in them.
27. 08. 2023 22:39 CET 10 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): It's hard on the good Tarmac because I'm not a circuit driver and the tyres are having really good grip, I have to be careful because the rear is moving a lot because of the setup. I also have to be careful on this type of stage because it isn't my type of stage but we're happy to be here.
27. 08. 2023 22:38 CET 10 flash info (15 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): We finished the first loop and it's been a nice morning with difficult stages, we enjoy it and we are seeing in a few places we can be much faster, but for the moment we feel this is our pace.
27. 08. 2023 22:38 CET 10 flash info (6 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Few overshoots. I have nothing to say, I don't know whether it's the brakes or driving.
20. 08. 2023 14:35 CET 10 retired (79 - Ševčík Pavel / Vajdák Luděk): technical problem - gearbox after SS 10
20. 08. 2023 14:09 CET 10 retired (105 - Heřman Pavel / Pfajfr Tomáš): technical problem after SS 10
20. 08. 2023 12:51 CET 10 retired (23 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): technical problem after SS 10

20. 08. 2023 10:47 CET 10 (6 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): missed a junction again
20. 08. 2023 10:42 CET 10 (6 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): missed a junction
27. 08. 2023 22:35 CET 9 (30 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): spun
27. 08. 2023 22:35 CET 9 (35 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): spun
27. 08. 2023 22:35 CET 9 flash info (2 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): The target is to get through the day and do the last stage, so we are just cruising at the moment.
27. 08. 2023 22:35 CET 9 flash info (18 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): I think it's better in a way in the first stage, every year I have too much respect, so we drive a bit faster in this one and we're giving it the maximum in the third one.
27. 08. 2023 22:34 CET 9 flash info (14 - Csomós Miklós / Bán Viktor): It was good run, very tricky. The last section was very tricky. The car is very good, the setup and tyres and my co-driver are very good too!
27. 08. 2023 22:34 CET 9 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Winter Gerald): I was a bit too cautious, there's much more we can do but the stage is getting tricky, dirty and muddy.
27. 08. 2023 22:34 CET 9 flash info (21 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): This stage is crazy, the last part in the forest is so slippy. We had a problem in a ditch but it's fine.
27. 08. 2023 22:34 CET 9 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Just an anticut in the forest, there's a couple of holes we got stuck in there.
27. 08. 2023 22:33 CET 9 flash info (9 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): To be honest, the last part in the forest is difficult to tell if it's getting better or worse, with the hard tyres it's very difficult for the drivers.
27. 08. 2023 22:33 CET 9 flash info (20 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): It's been difficult stages, there are a lot of stages left and we'll see who is fastest in the afternoon.
27. 08. 2023 22:33 CET 9 flash info (3 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): I tried my best everywhere, as I said at the beginning it's uphill we struggled a bit but it's OK, we're here.
27. 08. 2023 22:33 CET 9 flash info (7 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): This stage is really tricky, before the forest section I took maximum pleasure but in the forest section it's hard to see and hard to grip, but let's see for the second loop.
27. 08. 2023 22:32 CET 9 flash info (12 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): The rhythm changes quite a lot, the setup is quite a compromise from the road where it's high grip to the forest where it's damp in places. I think it's hard to push in the forest.
27. 08. 2023 22:32 CET 9 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): I slowed down a little in the forest, I thought I had a puncute. IT was not easy, I think it was the mud. You don't have any sun there it's just dry. All the time the Michelin tyres worked amazingly well though and I'm getting confidence again.
27. 08. 2023 22:32 CET 9 flash info (15 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): Really interesting stage, not easy at all. We tried to make a clean run but in the forest we lost a lot of confidence so I think I lost quite a lot of time.
27. 08. 2023 22:32 CET 9 flash info (6 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): No everything is fine with the pace notes, it's just very slippy in there.
27. 08. 2023 22:31 CET 9 flash info (16 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Hain Jara): It's hardcore, it's such a great stage. You have a bit of everything. The stage in the forest is so slippery, I am quite comfortable with the car though. I'm massively enjoying these stages.

27. 08. 2023 22:30 CET 8 flash info (2 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): Let's see if we can get the car through the day, that's the ambition. To go to the Power Stage, until then it's in road mode.
27. 08. 2023 22:29 CET 8 flash info (18 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): It went well, today we have to take a lot of risks. We decided we didn't want to on the first stage, but we have to on the Sunday.
27. 08. 2023 22:29 CET 8 flash info (14 - Csomós Miklós / Bán Viktor): It was a good run, very tricky stage. It was very fast and amazing. The focus is on Simon Wagner.
27. 08. 2023 22:29 CET 8 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Winter Gerald): Today is very long, still a lot of kilometres to go. Not the best start this morning, the car feels different today but we will solve this.
27. 08. 2023 22:29 CET 8 flash info (21 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): I did a mistake, I had to reverse. I hit a bale. Bad start to the day.
27. 08. 2023 22:28 CET 8 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Surprised, this is a tricky stage, lots going on and there's lots of loose stuff coming out on the road too. Not an overly committed run, but good stuff.
27. 08. 2023 22:28 CET 8 flash info (9 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): To be honest, not so many big changes on the car I'm just trying to get into my rhythm, I felt I was too careful in some places here and I could get faster. With the hard tyres it's not so easy.
27. 08. 2023 22:28 CET 8 flash info (20 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): Difficult stage for the morning, 2nd fastest. The fastest will arrive after us! We'll see how we do on Pindula and Halenkovice.
27. 08. 2023 22:28 CET 8 flash info (3 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): I try my best, it's really complicated at the beginning but we're good.
27. 08. 2023 22:27 CET 8 flash info (7 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Feels strange, the grip is strange and a lot of bits are bumpy so it's good to be here.
27. 08. 2023 22:27 CET 8 flash info (12 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): If I knew the stage you'd take a lot of time in there, it's very demanding and technical. A classic!
27. 08. 2023 22:27 CET 8 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): We have to be ready. It's a well known, incredible stage, but it could be better because there's a lot of places where I expect less grip but the grip was really high, there was a lot of stones, but that's the kind of rally it is. I really hope the guys in front will enjoy this experience.
27. 08. 2023 22:27 CET 8 flash info (15 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): Yes, it was OK. It was a really hard stage to start the day, easy to make mistakes in these kinds of stages. We enjoy it, but let's see the times of the other guys.
27. 08. 2023 22:26 CET 8 flash info (6 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Very cautious, very very cautious, we've never done this stage, it was sleepy and we also had a bit of dirt.
27. 08. 2023 22:26 CET 8 flash info (16 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Hain Jara): It appears my intuition was right, the problem was OK in the last few stages, but in the last stage we lost it completely, we were lucky to get home!

20. 08. 2023 09:12 CET 8 Stage continues.
20. 08. 2023 09:10 CET 8 Stage is stopped because of damaged anticut.
20. 08. 2023 09:07 CET 8 (23 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): was out of road
20. 08. 2023 08:59 CET 8 (21 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): spun
20. 08. 2023 07:52 CET 8 Weather in Zlín is sunny, temperature around 24°C.
20. 08. 2023 07:51 CET 8 retired (5 - Lukyanuk Alexey / Chervonenko Yevhen): didn't start into Leg 2
27. 08. 2023 22:25 CET 7 flash info (18 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): I didn't expect to be leading on the first day of Barum because hte standard is so crazy, lots of fast local drivers out there. Last year on SS1, we had heavy rain for the first car. It's common in Barum, but the pace is really high because the rest of the stages were really dry. 15sec lead is nothing, the first stage tomorrow is crazy! We have to wake up with our right foot and go flat out." I'd be proud to win this rally, I started my rally career here in the 0 car in 2000. I said "I want to win this rally" but I never knew I'd be stood here.
27. 08. 2023 22:23 CET 7 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It does sound good, but we don't want to be too complacent. Three tricky stages tomorrow so we want to bring it home in one piece. Tomorrow is more tricky, also the locals know the stages very well tomorrow. We've got the car working well this afternoon, so just not going to take any stupid risks and try and maintain it for tomorrow. We're learning a lot, I've never done a bumpy Tarmac rally before, but we're taking it in a lot and we're hoping to come back and do it again next year. I'm glad it's not wet! It's amazing to see a Kiwi flag over there and hopefully we can make sure we party with them all tomorrow night.
27. 08. 2023 22:22 CET 7 flash info (3 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): We're doing our best, we can do much more but I'm happy.
27. 08. 2023 22:22 CET 7 flash info (7 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): For sure, it wasn't a bad day here in Czech. We will see for tomorrow but I want to take maximum pleasure.
27. 08. 2023 22:22 CET 7 flash info (16 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Hain Jara): It was the problem we had before, on full throttle it seemed like there was a slip. I couldn't go full throttle, I don't know what is giving the slip. I'm happy we don't lose too much time but we'll see. Hopefully we get it fixed before tomorrow.
27. 08. 2023 22:22 CET 7 flash info (6 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): We are getting back in shape after two crashes in a row in the last two rallies, it's a nice feeling to be at the finish line and we'll see what tomorrow brings.
27. 08. 2023 22:22 CET 7 flash info (12 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): Yeah it's been pretty good, the stages are crazy which everyone knows. As we mentioned before we never really do Tarmac so it's about getting better.
27. 08. 2023 22:21 CET 7 flash info (15 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): For sure the hard tyres work better, we're still learning and it's difficult in these stages when you don't want to make a mistake, it's really easy to lose time. We didn't drive this car in this rally, but for next season we'll see.
27. 08. 2023 22:21 CET 7 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's obviously not as good a day ticked off, we're counting down the days. Tomorrow is tricky, but we've made some improvements and we're starting to feel more comfortable ahead of tomorrow.
27. 08. 2023 22:20 CET 7 flash info (18 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): It feels really good, when you have little experience from the first pass you can release the brake earlier or keep the throttle on the floor, the grip level is not as hard as it was in the first pass.
27. 08. 2023 22:20 CET 7 flash info (20 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): We used the medium tyres in the morning and I think they were okay, what wasn't okay was me because I didn't have the rhythm in the morning, now it looks a little bit better.
27. 08. 2023 22:20 CET 7 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Winter Gerald): We got some new brakes in the service. Great day for us, good work from the team who I am very impressed with and the new hard Michelin tyre compounds work perfectly.
27. 08. 2023 22:20 CET 7 flash info (9 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): The pace is really high, I enjoyed the afternoon loop and we improved the driving, but on a long stage it's harder to catchg the guys as they're a lot faster than me. It's a difficult day with challenging stages, but anything can happen and we're still in the race.
27. 08. 2023 22:19 CET 7 flash info (14 - Csomós Miklós / Bán Viktor): It's amazing, it's very fast. The tempo is not normal. I am very happy, the 2nd place at the end of the day is very good. It's making me very happy.
27. 08. 2023 22:19 CET 7 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): We are racing, and we have to race until finish, we're not giving up. It's not a great feeling fighting at the top and then doing a mistake. Sorry for it, but that's motor racing.
19. 08. 2023 19:00 CET 7 retired (40 - Rossi Ghjuvanni / Sarmezan Kylian): lost wheel in SS 7
19. 08. 2023 18:59 CET 7 (5 - Lukyanuk Alexey / Chervonenko Yevhen): problems with fuel pump
19. 08. 2023 18:15 CET 7 Stage will be postponed after st. no. 24 for 11 minutes. Stage will be restarted then.
27. 08. 2023 22:18 CET 6 flash info (3 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): We are trying our best, the conditions are more difficult than this morning, it's like black ice because it's hot and very slippery when braking.
27. 08. 2023 22:18 CET 6 flash info (7 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): This stage is a little bit bad for us, it's so tricky, there's lots of problems even for the other guys. The next one I want to be clean, but I want to take pleasure.
27. 08. 2023 22:17 CET 6 flash info (16 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Hain Jara): The problem is my technical knowledge is 0! I know how to drive the car but I have limited knowledge of technology. It's frustrating because we're losing power, but I don't know what it is.
27. 08. 2023 22:17 CET 6 flash info (6 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): The road surface is getting melted so you're missing some knowledge on how to brake there. Confidence is getting better but getting it back and making stupid mistakes, doesn't help.
27. 08. 2023 22:17 CET 6 flash info (12 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): Yes it's quite dirty, the times are getting better, the confidence is getting there and there's still a bit to go, but we are enjoying ourselves. If we see the line, it's a rut that's clean but it can get interesting if you get outside it.
27. 08. 2023 22:16 CET 6 flash info (15 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): It's quite similar, this morning we had a pace that for us represents a really safe way to go through the stages, now I expect us to be a bit faster. Now I'd say the car is nice and I'm enjoying but when I see the time I'm not so happy.
27. 08. 2023 22:16 CET 6 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): To be honest, the jet lag is getting worse over the next 3 rallies. My tip for getting over jet lag? Buy yourself a rally car.
27. 08. 2023 22:16 CET 6 flash info (5 - Lukyanuk Alexey / Chervonenko Yevhen): Terrible. I'm speaking more than my co-driver.
27. 08. 2023 22:15 CET 6 flash info (18 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): his stage is very tricky and we were out nearly in the same corner where Erik went off in the first pass, so it's a very tricky stage.
27. 08. 2023 22:15 CET 6 flash info (20 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): I think there wasn't any problems, our time is good, nice stage and I hope it will be the same for the final run.
27. 08. 2023 22:15 CET 6 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Winter Gerald): The rally is still long, punctures can happen everywhere. We're trying to keep our pace, do no mistakes and look after our tyres.
27. 08. 2023 22:15 CET 6 flash info (9 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): It's getting better, but this stage is difficult. There's quite a lot of pollution from the first pass but it's a demanding stage.
27. 08. 2023 22:14 CET 6 flash info (14 - Csomós Miklós / Bán Viktor): It's an amazing stage, very good and very fast, there was a spin on the last corner but we enjoyed it. The time is incredible.
27. 08. 2023 22:14 CET 6 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): My fault, I was too fast in a corner where there was a lot of gravel, definitely I should be slower there and I have to apologise to my team.
19. 08. 2023 17:09 CET 6 Stage is cancelled.
19. 08. 2023 17:01 CET 6 Stage is stopped because of accident of no. 26.
19. 08. 2023 17:01 CET 6 retired (26 - Armstrong Jon / Fair Cameron): accident in SS 6

27. 08. 2023 22:12 CET 5 flash info (3 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): For sure I was on my limit with the car. We're doing a good job.
27. 08. 2023 22:12 CET 5 flash info (7 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): The road is incredible, during the stage is nice. The car is working very well, the road is incredible, my driving is better than this morning and so are the pace notes.
27. 08. 2023 22:11 CET 5 flash info (16 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Hain Jara): It's hot in the car even if it's not hot outside, the problem is we don't get fresh wind anymore. We have a little clutch problem sadly, I don't know how serious it is.
27. 08. 2023 22:11 CET 5 flash info (6 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I've worked on myself! This was quite a fast stage, easier than the other ones to come but it's just about getting more experience.
27. 08. 2023 22:10 CET 5 flash info (2 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): It's a broken transmission again, I spun because of that. I only have rear wheel drive, I was approaching a junction and then a crest and I spun because I only have rear wheel drive.
27. 08. 2023 22:10 CET 5 flash info (12 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): Driving is getting a bit better, it's all coming together to get a bit better.
27. 08. 2023 22:10 CET 5 flash info (15 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): We changed the tyre to hards over mediums, the feeling wasn't perfect this morning. I expected this one to be a bit better, it's not looking so good but we are doing our best without taking any risk.
27. 08. 2023 22:09 CET 5 (2 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): spun
27. 08. 2023 22:09 CET 5 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Obviously not doing anything different on the driving side, but we've softened the car up so it felt a bit more forgiving in there. Small steps.
27. 08. 2023 22:06 CET 5 flash info (5 - Lukyanuk Alexey / Chervonenko Yevhen): In this stage we feel comfortable, confident and feeling good.
27. 08. 2023 22:06 CET 5 flash info (18 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): Maybe there was some rain shower, there were two or three places where it was damp. I was pushing, the car is working well.
27. 08. 2023 22:05 CET 5 flash info (20 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): Better than the morning, it's closer. It's better for us, thank you.
27. 08. 2023 22:05 CET 5 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Winter Gerald): It's still wet and difficult stage, not 100% happy with my driving but we try.
27. 08. 2023 22:05 CET 5 flash info (9 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): I finally have a few minutes to spend with my family, which is always nice. I checked the pace notes and tried to have a calm mindset. So far it seems that it's working but there's more difficult stages ahead.
27. 08. 2023 22:05 CET 5 flash info (14 - Csomós Miklós / Bán Viktor): So the first section, very wet! So for the later guys it will be dry.
27. 08. 2023 22:04 CET 5 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): If there was a disadvantage to start first, I never saw it. We start the first round, half of it was completely wet, and then we took the second round and it was half dry. For this loop there will be no water on the road, because it's 35 degrees outside. But this is rally and I have to take it.
27. 08. 2023 22:04 CET 5 Tarmac is at 40 degree surface temp, whilst the blistering sun is beating down on the stage, no doubt affecting tyre wear particularly when we consider that our drivers will be braking on the numerous hairpin bends throughout the afternoon loop.

27. 08. 2023 22:02 CET 4 flash info (19 - Ingram Chris / Kihurani Alexander): Unfortunately we've had to make the tough call to withdraw, we've had a tough start to the rally with some genuinely really unlucky issues and we've come here to fight for top positions, we were hoping at least a podium and we've decided to save the car and save funds for the next one and come back stronger.
27. 08. 2023 22:01 CET 4 flash info (36 - Raftery Aoife / Comerford Ronan): Towards the second half of the stage we got into it, it's a competitive stage, we're enjoying Barum and it's a crazy rally.
27. 08. 2023 22:01 CET 4 flash info (35 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): I'm thinking of fighting for victory, we're close. This morning was great, very difficult with all the jumps and the road surface.
27. 08. 2023 22:00 CET 4 flash info (34 - Zanin Mattia / De Guio Elia): I had a problem from yesterday night with my throttle and this morning we try to solve the problem but we continued to add to it, we'll see in the next service but it's not ideal.
27. 08. 2023 22:00 CET 4 flash info (33 - Schulz Timo / Wenzel Michael): Pretty good stage, really clean and we pushed a lot in the first two stages so now we have a good gap between us and 2nd.
27. 08. 2023 22:00 CET 4 flash info (56 - Widłak Igor / Pawłowski Mateusz): I have had many tips for Jon, it's my first rally in a long time and I lose concentration on the stage. It wasn't bad for my first run.
27. 08. 2023 21:59 CET 4 flash info (26 - Armstrong Jon / Fair Cameron): Big challenge but really enjoyed the stage, this is my type of territory so I enjoyed it. Just want to get as close as we can to the Rally2 pace, got to keep going and maintain the same pace.
27. 08. 2023 21:59 CET 4 flash info (24 - Somaschini Rachele / Arena Nicola): Really, really tough, first time here so I enjoyed the stage, we go on and learn a little bit more.
27. 08. 2023 21:59 CET 4 flash info (23 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): We missed a junction in the slow corner, we didn't see it on the notes.
27. 08. 2023 21:59 CET 4 flash info (21 - Březík Adam / Krajča Ondřej): Absolutely, this is one of the craziest stages in the Barum Rally, wide road, bumpy road and narrow road so yes I'm happy with the time.
27. 08. 2023 21:59 CET 4 flash info (3 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): This stage was the most important of the loop, really tricky, especially at the beginning. But looking forward to the rest.
27. 08. 2023 21:58 CET 4 flash info (7 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): It's the target to be approx. 1sec per km, it's a different stage, there's lots of jumps and it's not easy for us, but it's cool.
27. 08. 2023 21:58 CET 4 flash info (16 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Hain Jara): That's an incredible stage! Really, really sketchy at points. Difficult to get a rhythm as it's really really slippy, then it gets tight, then bumpy. We were touching the edge a bit at times, so we lost a bit of confidence, but we're looking to improve.
27. 08. 2023 21:58 CET 4 flash info (6 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Everything is difficult. The narrow parts are crazy.
27. 08. 2023 21:57 CET 4 flash info (2 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): Quite good to be honest. Trickiest stages I do with two recce passes, it's crazy but I have to try to commit to my pace notes but it's like 1.5 million corners. We did our best but the locals will be much faster.
27. 08. 2023 21:57 CET 4 flash info (12 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): Towards the end yeah, fortunately I have a lot of experience of it.
27. 08. 2023 21:57 CET 4 flash info (15 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): You made a bad joke on the previous stage, you told me we had damage and we didn't! We are trying to get used to these kind of stages and get experience.
27. 08. 2023 21:56 CET 4 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We've got a lot more to lose so we're trying to keep it clean, I've misread the conditions for this stage on the recce, I though it was high grip but there's bumps everywhere. We're also trying to get experience for if we come here in future.
27. 08. 2023 21:56 CET 4 flash info (5 - Lukyanuk Alexey / Chervonenko Yevhen): I have no pace notes, I'm driving with my eyes!
27. 08. 2023 21:56 CET 4 flash info (19 - Ingram Chris / Kihurani Alexander): The power steering fluid, the top has come off and it's gone everywhere. Bit distracted, not a very good start to the rally unfortunately.
27. 08. 2023 21:55 CET 4 flash info (18 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): This stage is really demanding, there's some quite big jumps, it was not on the cards but we'll go with it. I think Erik is a local lad, so he'll have the experience.
27. 08. 2023 21:55 CET 4 flash info (20 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): Better than the previous stages, but I think Erik is flying because 14sec is absolutely crazy.
27. 08. 2023 21:55 CET 4 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Winter Gerald): Unfortunately we lost the brakes for the last 7km, not ideal but we enjoyed the first loop and the second one will be very demanding.
27. 08. 2023 21:54 CET 4 flash info (9 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): To be honest, it's my driving. I need to improve.
27. 08. 2023 21:54 CET 4 flash info (14 - Csomós Miklós / Bán Viktor): It was OK, very difficult stages, the first run is difficult but Erik is a top pilot.
27. 08. 2023 21:54 CET 4 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): It's closest stage to my home, sorry I'm not smiling but 25km in this heat is difficult and I was trying to concentrate as muchas possible. It was a special stage in my heart, could've been better in some places though.

27. 08. 2023 21:53 CET 3 flash info (3 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It's really difficult, full of small gravel that you can't see so sometimes you feel like the car is moving.
27. 08. 2023 21:53 CET 3 flash info (7 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Feel OK, it's very slippery, lots of dirt on the road and it's not an easy stage.
27. 08. 2023 21:52 CET 3 flash info (16 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Hain Jara): Tricky stage, slippery, there was more girth than I thought, very flat roads but also bumpy and some fast crests. Tricky stage, not easy, but good fun.
27. 08. 2023 21:52 CET 3 flash info (6 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Well it was quite steady again, I don't have much confidence right now but we have this race to make it good again.
27. 08. 2023 21:52 CET 3 flash info (2 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): We have had a long relationship with the car, sometimes we fight a bit but we stick together.
27. 08. 2023 21:51 CET 3 flash info (12 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): Front right part of bumper is missing. I'm not sure what happened, we'll have to check it out.
27. 08. 2023 21:51 CET 3 flash info (15 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): i don't think we damaged the car on this stage.
27. 08. 2023 21:51 CET 3 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Yeah, it's difficult when you're just trying to manage things, it's probably a lot more difficult but it gives us room for margin and when you're driving as slowly as we are you just want to enjoy it.
27. 08. 2023 21:51 CET 3 flash info (5 - Lukyanuk Alexey / Chervonenko Yevhen): This is a more demanding stage, more slippery, not so confident.
27. 08. 2023 21:50 CET 3 flash info (19 - Ingram Chris / Kihurani Alexander): There is smoke pouring out from under the bonnet. I'm not sure, felt okay, we need to go on and check sorry.
27. 08. 2023 21:50 CET 3 flash info (18 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): Yeah it was very dirty after a few cars, we had a big moment after the start so I was a bit confused.
27. 08. 2023 21:49 CET 3 flash info (20 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): Not good, I don't know why, the gap is too big this morning. We will see in the afternoon.
27. 08. 2023 21:49 CET 3 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Winter Gerald): To be honest I drove well, but the stage is messy. A lot of guys are pushing a lot and cutting a lot.
27. 08. 2023 21:48 CET 3 flash info (9 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): To be honest, there's nothing wrong with the car but my driving could be a little better. It's important we're here. The stage is very slippery.
27. 08. 2023 21:48 CET 3 flash info (14 - Csomós Miklós / Bán Viktor): It was good, the first run in the stage something was not working, it was very tricky.
27. 08. 2023 21:47 CET 3 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): There was a moment on stage. My mistake completely, I was thinkg I could brake after the corner, but there was a huge amount fo dust. Glad there was nothing, but there was a little mess on the starting time so a little out of concentration but need to be focussed 4,000,000%

27. 08. 2023 21:46 CET 2 flash info (3 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It was OK, I tried my best for sure, but let's see for the rest of the day.
27. 08. 2023 21:45 CET 2 flash info (7 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): It's not so bad for the first part. It's not a bad finish, it's in the target so let's do it.
27. 08. 2023 21:45 CET 2 flash info (16 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Hain Jara): I'm awake now! It wakes you up, you have to make the most and you can't really dasmage your tyres, then you have this flat out exit which is really scary, but really fun and you just have to give it your all.
27. 08. 2023 21:45 CET 2 flash info (6 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Just to get back the confidence after 2 disastrous weeks we've had, so no pressure. We're quite steady and it's alright.
27. 08. 2023 21:45 CET 2 flash info (2 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): We are learning the stage a bit and it's the first time I drive this really bumpy hard section so a bit scary, but we are here and we carry on.
27. 08. 2023 21:44 CET 2 flash info (12 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): It wasn't so bad, it was quite warm. There was a wise man at the breakfast table this morning who told me to eat a load of watermelon - his name is Seb Scott.
27. 08. 2023 21:44 CET 2 flash info (15 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): We just drive in our pace, without any risk. We are getting used to the stages and we have to enjoy the next ones.
27. 08. 2023 21:44 CET 2 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It was obviously fun to come here and drive a rally car, counting down the stages though. there's a few high commitment areas where we held off a bit but we're just taking the safety approach.
27. 08. 2023 21:43 CET 2 flash info (18 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): I think last time when I was using the balaclava on my nose I'd switched from the circuits to the rallies!
27. 08. 2023 21:43 CET 2 flash info (20 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): The gap is too big, but we will see what we can do. It's a good stage.
27. 08. 2023 21:43 CET 2 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Winter Gerald): I guess the road position is quite OK, safe run through but not enough commitment.
27. 08. 2023 21:42 CET 2 flash info (9 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): No issue for me, quite good start, it's still a long way to the finish. It's gonna be hotter than Roma, no?
27. 08. 2023 21:42 CET 2 flash info (14 - Csomós Miklós / Bán Viktor): It was a good feeling, it was a morning run so the second loop we can slow down, the last section is very good.
27. 08. 2023 21:42 CET 2 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Pretty fast, the grip is fast, the temperature is high so we are sweating a lot but it was an OK stage. It was not the best for me but I enjoyed it, now we're looking forward to the forest stages.
19. 08. 2023 14:36 CET 2 retired (112 - Andrys František / Kreslová Lenka): technical problem after SS 2

27. 08. 2023 21:40 CET 1 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's like a grown up go kart track to be honest, it's a bit late and past my bedtime, so I'm looking forward to some sleep and raring to go tomorrow.
27. 08. 2023 21:40 CET 1 flash info (2 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): That was a bit tricky, I had some alarm on the car all the way through, but it came and disappeared and I didn't see what it was. I lost a bit of focus, every time I saw it I looked down, but OK, we are through the stage.
27. 08. 2023 21:40 CET 1 flash info (3 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It was a bit difficult at the beginning, but we are here.
27. 08. 2023 21:40 CET 1 flash info (5 - Lukyanuk Alexey / Chervonenko Yevhen): Finish the rally, have fun and enjoy the spectators and the stages.
27. 08. 2023 21:39 CET 1 flash info (6 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Let's see. We have different things to do on this rally to drive through safely, I'm looking forward to the next stage. This is a lot faster than the Juniors stage here, let me tell you!
27. 08. 2023 21:39 CET 1 flash info (7 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Amazing, incredible to see a lot of people like this, I don't know many people round the stage but it's brilliant. I don't know the time, but let's be clean and see for tomorrow.
27. 08. 2023 21:39 CET 1 flash info (9 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): I did well, I'm quite satisfied, I made no mistake in the stage and it's good. Did you see that crowd at midnight? It's amazing and thanks to them!
27. 08. 2023 21:38 CET 1 flash info (10 - Wagner Simon / Winter Gerald): Not bad to be honest, quite a clean stage. The real rally starts tomorrow. To win Rally Barum, I guess you have to be Czech?
27. 08. 2023 21:38 CET 1 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Not bad, I have to say thank you to my home crowd because the atmosphere was amazing. We really enjoyed it, you guys are amazing and we're going to keep pushing for the weekend.
27. 08. 2023 21:38 CET 1 flash info (12 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): Sometimes we close our eyes and hope for the best! Having the knowledge in there is beneficial for sure. We'll see for tomorrow, but we're ready.
27. 08. 2023 21:38 CET 1 flash info (14 - Csomós Miklós / Bán Viktor): How many seconds behind Kopecky? 3.6? Not bad!
27. 08. 2023 21:37 CET 1 flash info (15 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): It's a slow stage, so you don't need to push you just need to drive well. There was a bit of pace lost at the start, but we'll see for tomorrow.
27. 08. 2023 21:37 CET 1 flash info (16 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Hain Jara): We're living the dream! It's great. We were waiting for the past few hours to get started and can't wait to get going tomorrow.
27. 08. 2023 21:37 CET 1 flash info (17 - László Martin / Berendi Dávid): In this weekend, it's the most important for me, I need to build my confidence back and my team said not to make any risks or crash in this race.
27. 08. 2023 21:36 CET 1 flash info (18 - Kopecký Jan / Hloušek Jan): Everything is OK, I just switched on the vents in the car! The stage was very nice and full of spectators!
27. 08. 2023 21:36 CET 1 flash info (19 - Ingram Chris / Kihurani Alexander): We've got a gearbox problem, hopefully it's gonna be OK. We want to put in a good performance.
27. 08. 2023 21:36 CET 1 flash info (20 - Stříteský Dominik / Hovorka Jiří): There are a lot of really fast guys, we'll see where we are after the first day and we'll go from there on the Sunday.
