INFORMATION ABOUT SS 10
retired (45 - Takata Koji / Sekimoto Takashi): retired after SS 10
retired (38 - Hotta Makoto / Kawanishi Haruo): retired in SS 10
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's kind of working, or we're trying to make it work. It's tricky. Our last rally with M-Sport Ford, but still I would like to try and get the feeling which we haven't been able to find this year.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure, the target is to push as much as I can and try to catch Ott and EP. I don't know if it's possible or not but at least I have to try.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There is no plan. The plan was to win, that's why we came here and we gave it everything. Yesterday I bottomed out and it kicked me out of the line, but that's rallying. There was no pressure on this weekend - it was just about going for the victory and we were on target until then.
