INFORMATION ABOUT SS 18
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I mean, first of all I am really pleased to be at the finish - it was a very challenging and tough weekend out there. Overall we did a good job, we had good consistency which ultimately paid off. It was a team effort this weekend and we did it, so we can be proud of that.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I am feeling really good. I think this year was, for me personally, more important than last year. The competition was tighter and we did a really good job. The biggest thank you of course goes to Jonne - he is also the world's best co-driver. I am going to enjoy this one more than the first one.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): A podium is always welcome. It's been tough and now, with all these junctions, it's been difficult to stay on the pace. We just had to manage it today and we did that. It's definitely great for everyone in the team.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Day one was a disaster for us, so after that we had an okay rally. There was not so much we could do with our start positon this weekend, and obviously the puncture straight away didn't help. I am now looking forward to Japan and trying to finish the season on a high.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It felt good at the end of the weekend but I have a lot of things I need to improve myself. For sure, the next rally is in my home country so I need to do a big push there.
flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I would say the rally was quite good. It was super tricky and my first time on the tarmac in this car, so a lot of learning. The rally was changing every day and we needed to adapt, and at this level we have to adapt from the first kilometre.
flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I am super delighted. I want to thank Jourdan Serderidis and M-Sport for the chance they gave us to drive this car on two occasions. We tried to grab the opportunity with both hands and we enjoyed every kilometre of it. I hope I will be in Monte, I don't know with which car.
flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Veillas Benjamin): For sure, we will remember the positives. We are disappointed with that but, well, we have not been super lucky this year. Thanks to everybody and M-Sport, they tried so hard this year but unfortunately we didn't do any good results. I hope we continue to work together and hopefully we will be back soon in Monte.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): You have to try. In fairness, Kalle was very strong on Friday and we didn't have the pace to follow him. After that, of course we continued to try but it didn't work out this time and sometimes that's the way it goes. We'll try again next year, that's for sure, but I wish the guys the best. They've done an incredible season, so well done to those guys.
flash info (36 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): It's fantastic. A few times I have been in a good position for a good result in WRC2, and it's always failed. I am very happy to bring home the result this time after many years. I think this will help me for next year.
flash info (24 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was a fantastic weekend for us and we were pushing really hard since our puncture on the first day. It's a really good way to finish the season with the Rally2 car. We have been improving a lot so I am really, really happy.
flash info (31 - Cais Erik / Trunkát Daniel): It was not an easy rally. Today, I knew that the target was to finish on the podium and when I saw the first time to Ciamin, I thought that I would lower the risk.
Start of stage at 12:28, ambulance intervention non-related to rally.
