INFORMATION ABOUT SS 3
retired (48 - Shimizu Hiroyasu / Yasui Takahiro): accident in SS 3
flash info (20 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): We can see! The Rally1 cars are better, but the Škoda is better in one area! Very tricky conditions. We tried to take it down a notch for this one and we will adjust from here.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We tried to repair the car, but it's quite impossible to fix it. At least we are still driving and we will try to get to service. The rally is not over yet.
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): There's a lot of standing water on this one. There was some already on the previous one and over here we were aquaplaning so much. It's quite crazy.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I can't see anything... look at my screen. I just tried to survive.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Quite seasick to be honest. It started on the previous stage. I don't know what happened, but I guess there is no reason to drive like this.
(17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): fogged window
(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): fogged window
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I couldn't see anything. I have done a lot of rallies in my life but I have never been scared as much as this morning.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I can't really see where I'm going, so it's not easy! There's more standing water here, but both stages so far have been equally as bad.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's quite extreme at the moment. At the beginning of the stage there was so much standing water that you couldn't even be full-throttle on the straight, and then for half of the stage I had no visibility - all of the windows were fogged up.
(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): overshoot junction
