Date and time	SS	Information
01. 10. 2023 18:44 01. 10. 2023 23:44 CET	16	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's great to finally have some positive outcome. Thanks to the mechanics and everyhbody in the container who came here. We are really a small bunch of people but they did a great job. Chile is a great place with so much support, and there were even some Estonians here which was surprising!
01. 10. 2023 18:44 01. 10. 2023 23:44 CET	16	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I put all my tyres into the battle for second this morning. I started with slick tyres but, anyhow, an eventful event for us to be honest.
01. 10. 2023 18:44 01. 10. 2023 23:44 CET	16	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We were struggling at the end there with the rear tyres. We had to try and give it a push at least.
01. 10. 2023 18:43 01. 10. 2023 23:43 CET	16	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Definitely not the best week for us. I felt the weekend was quite difficult already from the start, being a bit handicapped with the starting place. That really cost us a bit over the whole weekend and also not the best [tyre] choices made. In here I was pushing hard, but when you don't have the line everywhere it's impossible to be clean.
01. 10. 2023 18:43 01. 10. 2023 23:43 CET	16	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's nice to finish the rally. We were struggling a lot, especially yesterday. For sure, I need to improve more in the beginning of the rally but overall I learned a lot of things and the team did a great job.
01. 10. 2023 18:43 01. 10. 2023 23:43 CET	16	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I was still using the handbrake. We had a problem with the front right on the previous one, a stone broke it. Maybe for the next rally we have to change our lucky number, I don't know! Thanks a lot to Jourdan Serderidis and to M-Sport.
01. 10. 2023 18:43 01. 10. 2023 23:43 CET	16	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): In one hairpin, I lost power to the rear wheels. I want to say thank you to the team for an amazing car and to all the people involved in this project. I want to enjoy the moment and maybe next year or in the future we can make it again one day.
01. 10. 2023 18:42 01. 10. 2023 23:42 CET	16	(22 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Amazing! Finally a win again. It's been a long year and, okay, my championship is over now but it's still fantastic to race. Now we can finally get it again and it's an amazing feeling.
01. 10. 2023 18:42 01. 10. 2023 23:42 CET	16	(23 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): For sure, the championship is still alive. We needed the win but, after the circumstances we had on Friday, I don't think there's much more we could have done.
01. 10. 2023 18:42 01. 10. 2023 23:42 CET	16	(21 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Close to the end it felt like I had a puncture or something, but anyway, I am really glad for the finish and on the podium it's really nice.
01. 10. 2023 18:41 01. 10. 2023 23:41 CET	16	Starting order: Rosselot, Rossel, Gryazin, Pajari, Greensmith, Solberg, Heller, Munster, Katsuta, Rovanperä, Evans, Neuville, Tänak
01. 10. 2023 18:40 01. 10. 2023 23:40 CET	15	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's tricky, like the previous time. It was difficult to get the feeling but we are through. The win would be definitely great but, let's see, the next one suits the car better.
01. 10. 2023 18:40 01. 10. 2023 23:40 CET	15	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a shame for him because he was doing an incredibly good rally. I am disappointed for that, so now we have to bring it home. It's important for us to have a good start position for the next events which are on Tarmac.
01. 10. 2023 18:40 01. 10. 2023 23:40 CET	15	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): damaged wheel in SS 15
01. 10. 2023 18:39 01. 10. 2023 23:39 CET	15	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): went out of road with damaged wheel from previous corner
01. 10. 2023 18:38 01. 10. 2023 23:38 CET	15	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I am just trying to keep a smooth rhythm and save whatever tyres we can. It's difficult to know how slow to go.
01. 10. 2023 18:38 01. 10. 2023 23:38 CET	15	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I think for the maximum points there is no chance for sure, but we will try to get a few points. It's going to be really difficult with this road position - on the second pass it's really messy. There is not much we can do.
01. 10. 2023 18:38 01. 10. 2023 23:38 CET	15	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Still quite a lot of loose, but in some corners you have quite aggressive sections and it felt quite bad for the tyres. Let's see, in the next one there will be more loose stuff so I don't know how it will go.
01. 10. 2023 18:38 01. 10. 2023 23:38 CET	15	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It was starting well and then suddenly I lost all the brakes, so I had to use the handbrake for the whole stage. We will try to fix the issue.
01. 10. 2023 18:37 01. 10. 2023 23:37 CET	15	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): It was much better. It was not so clean again, but better than the morning. We enjoyed a lot and now we go for our final stage. I don't know whether to be happy or sad because I am enjoying it too much!
01. 10. 2023 19:38 02. 10. 2023 00:38 CET	14	(65 - Cohen Harold / Gajardo Hugo): retired after SS 14
01. 10. 2023 19:38 02. 10. 2023 00:38 CET	14	(41 - Dominguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): retired after SS 14
01. 10. 2023 19:37 02. 10. 2023 00:37 CET	14	(54 - Palma Lucas / Braun Augusto): retired in SS 14
01. 10. 2023 19:37 02. 10. 2023 00:37 CET	14	(25 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): damaged suspension after SS 14
01. 10. 2023 19:36 02. 10. 2023 00:36 CET	14	(25 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): running whole stage with flat tyre / three wheels
01. 10. 2023 19:34 02. 10. 2023 00:34 CET	14	(24 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): damaged suspension after SS 14
01. 10. 2023 19:34 02. 10. 2023 00:34 CET	14	(24 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): was out of road
01. 10. 2023 18:37 01. 10. 2023 23:37 CET	14	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): This stage was a bit better. It's actually quite a consistent flow and it's not too bad. You need to keep some margin but at the same time, in your mind, try to be safe. It's definitely not as easy as pushing.
01. 10. 2023 18:37 01. 10. 2023 23:37 CET	14	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I was trying. There were some mistakes, some slides and it cost some time.
01. 10. 2023 18:37 01. 10. 2023 23:37 CET	14	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's cleaning a lot, so Teemu should be able to go faster. I had a good stage but it's very difficult sometimes. When the rear is very loose, you cannot go with the speed that you would like.
01. 10. 2023 18:37 01. 10. 2023 23:37 CET	14	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was very loose in here now and it wasn't the best run to be honest. The cleaning is massive.
01. 10. 2023 18:36 01. 10. 2023 23:36 CET	14	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): This one is cleaning even worse than the first one of the loop, and like we have seen on previous days, the second pass can be even worse. I think the second pass will be horrible - the starting place will be the biggest factor on the times.
01. 10. 2023 18:36 01. 10. 2023 23:36 CET	14	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Very, very loose. I don't think the second pass conditions will be good. It's still going to be cleaning for us.
01. 10. 2023 18:36 01. 10. 2023 23:36 CET	14	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Just before the refuel out of service, we had a road accident with a car which passed us to the front right. In the stage before I was cautious because I thought we had something, but it was all good.
01. 10. 2023 18:35 01. 10. 2023 23:35 CET	14	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): Oh! We are using the oppposite helmets?! Things happen, we didn't notice... So that's the reason it felt a bit bigger!
01. 10. 2023 19:35 02. 10. 2023 00:35 CET	13	(25 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): double puncture
01. 10. 2023 18:35 01. 10. 2023 23:35 CET	13	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Very tricky stages. The first loop is tricky on these ones.
01. 10. 2023 18:35 01. 10. 2023 23:35 CET	13	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): Not good enough.
01. 10. 2023 18:35 01. 10. 2023 23:35 CET	13	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage, but there were a couple of small moments. I was on the limit in many corners but the car was working nice.
01. 10. 2023 18:34 01. 10. 2023 23:34 CET	13	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was a good clean stage, but it's just so loose. I guess it's cleaning a lot so let's see how it goes.
01. 10. 2023 18:34 01. 10. 2023 23:34 CET	13	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): The feeling was quite good. This is quite a nice stage and it went well, but definitely it will be cleaning a lot. The plan is just to enjoy until the Power Stage and hopefully get some points.
01. 10. 2023 18:34 01. 10. 2023 23:34 CET	13	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The plan is to get the feeling in the morning, and if it feels good then try to get some points in the Power Stage. It looks quite loose so it's going to be not so easy.
01. 10. 2023 18:34 01. 10. 2023 23:34 CET	13	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Not so good. I had a vibration right from the beginning, so I thought I had a puncture. I have to check but it was rolling quite well so I am not sure what it is.
01. 10. 2023 18:34 01. 10. 2023 23:34 CET	13	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): It was really good. Quite slippery and not easy to be the first car on the road, but I enjoyed it.
01. 10. 2023 19:14 02. 10. 2023 00:14 CET	12	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): retired after SS 12
01. 10. 2023 19:13 02. 10. 2023 00:13 CET	12	(30 - Fernàndez Emilio / Rozada Borja): retired after SS 12
01. 10. 2023 19:13 02. 10. 2023 00:13 CET	12	(50 - Gardiol Ignacio / González Sebastián): retired in SS 12
01. 10. 2023 18:32 01. 10. 2023 23:32 CET	12	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's been an extremely good day. It's been working in our favour and on the stages which were bad, we had the advantage to slow down and when it was needed we were able to speed up. It's not finished yet, so we need to keep it going tomorrow.
01. 10. 2023 18:32 01. 10. 2023 23:32 CET	12	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It's very difficult because it's hard to feel how much the tyre is wearing. In the end, I was saving too much and I started too early. I think I lost a bit of time there, but overall the loop was quite okay. We still have a long way to go and there is a lot of job to do.
01. 10. 2023 18:32 01. 10. 2023 23:32 CET	12	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been difficult. My tyres were completely finished coming down the last part of the hill there, but that's how it is. Of course, this is not ideal, but I was half expecting worse. It's still on for tomorrow.
01. 10. 2023 18:32 01. 10. 2023 23:32 CET	12	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay, to be honest. We maybe saved the tyres a bit too much on the middle stage but in here it was okay. We left from the start line a bit late - we had a technical issue and couldn't fire up the car and we did two stages with no hybrid. A difficult afternoon.
01. 10. 2023 18:31 01. 10. 2023 23:31 CET	12	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's a bit like driving in Super Mario Kart when somebody is throwing bananas or small cones in front of you! Half of the stage in the dust, we were definitely losing a lot of time because of that. Let's hope we get some back.
01. 10. 2023 18:31 01. 10. 2023 23:31 CET	12	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We touched a bank and I was thinking that we broke a steering arm. I tried to continue slowly and actually we had a double pucnture on the right side. I hope I did not disturb Rovanperä too much.
01. 10. 2023 18:31 01. 10. 2023 23:31 CET	12	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay, everything is fine. I just had to do a job for the team and ge through the stage because our tyres were quite worn after the first one.
01. 10. 2023 18:30 01. 10. 2023 23:30 CET	12	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): In the entry of one of the hairpins, there was a big stone. I didn't see it and I bent my steering. It's okay, we are here. A big day of learning, we want to rest and finish the rally tomorrow.
01. 10. 2023 18:30 01. 10. 2023 23:30 CET	12	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): was out of road and damaged steering and suspension
01. 10. 2023 19:12 02. 10. 2023 00:12 CET	11	(31 - Bulacia Bruno / Díaz José Luis): retired after SS 11
01. 10. 2023 18:29 01. 10. 2023 23:29 CET	11	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I pushed more on this one. After the previous one our tyres were like new so I was definitely backing off too much. The big monster is coming now and I need to manage... everyone needs to manage.
01. 10. 2023 18:29 01. 10. 2023 23:29 CET	11	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): We don't know how good it was - we still have one to go and tyre wear is massive.
01. 10. 2023 18:29 01. 10. 2023 23:29 CET	11	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We tried to be really neat and tidy, but it's hard to say how the tyres will be.
01. 10. 2023 18:29 01. 10. 2023 23:29 CET	11	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good run. Just trying to save the tyres, that was the only thing. I think we're not bad for the last one.
01. 10. 2023 18:28 01. 10. 2023 23:28 CET	11	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's surprisingly hard for the tyres. We didn't expect to come to this rally and manage the tyres like this. Let's see now.
01. 10. 2023 18:28 01. 10. 2023 23:28 CET	11	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Straight away, the tyre delaminated. I don't know why - it's not so hot. I don't know how we can survive the next one.
01. 10. 2023 18:28 01. 10. 2023 23:28 CET	11	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I would say the tyres are completely done, and we still have one to do. It's good that I did some ice driving in the winter because this is exactly the same!
01. 10. 2023 18:25 01. 10. 2023 23:25 CET	11	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): When the tyres are warm, I'm not able to control the car. There is so much power and I need to be careful.
01. 10. 2023 18:25 01. 10. 2023 23:25 CET	10	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's so difficult to understand if the tyre wear it's too much or how it is, but it's so, so bad. We just need to make sure we get through the loop.
01. 10. 2023 18:24 01. 10. 2023 23:24 CET	10	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I tried to save the tyres as much as possible. We have to do three stages and then we will see where we are.
01. 10. 2023 18:24 01. 10. 2023 23:24 CET	10	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Quite okay. Just trying to manage and trying to be smooth. It's hard to know how everything is until we check it over.
01. 10. 2023 18:24 01. 10. 2023 23:24 CET	10	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good start but towards the end I took it very steady on the last downhill to save the tyres. It's hard to know how much the tyres are wearing because you feel them overheating, but you are not sure if it is taking away the rubber or if it's just the gravel moving.
01. 10. 2023 18:24 01. 10. 2023 23:24 CET	10	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): When we didn't have any hard tyres in the morning it's difficult to predict how the tyre wear will be. Even in this one it feels quite hard for the tyres, so I need to check for the rest of the loop. This one is cleaning a lot.
01. 10. 2023 18:23 01. 10. 2023 23:23 CET	10	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Quite slippy still. The lines are not our lines, so we have to make a new line. Not so easy to drive.
01. 10. 2023 18:23 01. 10. 2023 23:23 CET	10	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): No dust this time and better grip. It's still quite slippery, but in general it was better. Much more enjoyable.
01. 10. 2023 18:23 01. 10. 2023 23:23 CET	10	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): It was the worst of the weekend for me. I had the lines of the front-wheel drive cars, and it's crazy. I am not able to put the car in position and drive clean. It's okay, we will continue, we enjoy and we try to finish without problems.
01. 10. 2023 18:22 01. 10. 2023 23:22 CET	10	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): spun
01. 10. 2023 19:12 02. 10. 2023 00:12 CET	9	(37 - Scuncio Martín / Román Javiera): retired in SS 9
01. 10. 2023 18:22 01. 10. 2023 23:22 CET	9	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It was okay. I think it was a mistake to go with the five tyres. I was saving the tyres for two-and-a-half stages and still it wasn't enough.
01. 10. 2023 18:22 01. 10. 2023 23:22 CET	9	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): two rear tyre delaminated
01. 10. 2023 18:21 01. 10. 2023 23:21 CET	9	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was the first good stage for me since the beginning of the weekend. There is lots of cleaning and the tyres are quite hot, but I think I did quite well in there. Without the puncture this morning, we could have had a perfect loop."
01. 10. 2023 18:21 01. 10. 2023 23:21 CET	9	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I think we are lucky even to be here. A big, big mistake with the tyre choice.
01. 10. 2023 18:20 01. 10. 2023 23:20 CET	9	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay... we can change the tyres now.
01. 10. 2023 18:20 01. 10. 2023 23:20 CET	9	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We had a spin at the beginning - just a bit too much inside on the cut and it sucked us int the apex. Here, the tyres were done and the rear left started to delaminate.
01. 10. 2023 18:20 01. 10. 2023 23:20 CET	9	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): spun
01. 10. 2023 18:20 01. 10. 2023 23:20 CET	9	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): I did this stage for the last eight years, and again I made a mistake in my tyre choice. I put soft in the rear and I ran out of tyres!
01. 10. 2023 18:19 01. 10. 2023 23:19 CET	9	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): puncture
01. 10. 2023 19:12 02. 10. 2023 00:12 CET	8	(53 - Padilla Felipe / Medrano Sebastián): retired in SS 8
01. 10. 2023 19:11 02. 10. 2023 00:11 CET	8	(36 - Israel Benjamín / Ramos Matías): retired in SS 8
01. 10. 2023 18:19 01. 10. 2023 23:19 CET	8	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I haven't seen my tyres yet, but it feels like they are suffering. It was tricky; I was still on the mixed tyres for this one and the balance was quite terrible. For the next one I should have quite good tyres.
01. 10. 2023 18:19 01. 10. 2023 23:19 CET	8	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): All right. There is one stage to go and we have different tactics, so we will see how we end up.
01. 10. 2023 18:18 01. 10. 2023 23:18 CET	8	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We were trying to be very careful, but it was really slippery at the same time. Let's see.
01. 10. 2023 18:18 01. 10. 2023 23:18 CET	8	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's all about managing the tyres now. It felt good for the first few kilometres but then the tyres were gone. Obviously, after the puncture, it's not a good situation.
01. 10. 2023 18:18 01. 10. 2023 23:18 CET	8	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Our plan was way too optimistic this morning, and it didn't work out so well for the tyres. There is not much more I can do - we have more to lose than to gain. I am just trying to get through the loop.
01. 10. 2023 18:17 01. 10. 2023 23:17 CET	8	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I really need to save the tyres now, to get us through the next one. I am trying to save tyres and not be too aggressive.
01. 10. 2023 18:17 01. 10. 2023 23:17 CET	8	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): A good experience. It's so difficult at the front, so much sliding all around and very low grip, but it's good practice.
01. 10. 2023 18:17 01. 10. 2023 23:17 CET	8	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): No drama, a small half spin. I prefer to let the car go and not try to save it to not endanger the car. Good stage, not the correct tyre choice but all okay.
01. 10. 2023 19:11 02. 10. 2023 00:11 CET	7	(55 - Fuertes Iván / Ferrero Victor): retired after SS 7
01. 10. 2023 19:11 02. 10. 2023 00:11 CET	7	(54 - Palma Lucas / Braun Augusto): retired in SS 7
01. 10. 2023 19:10 02. 10. 2023 00:10 CET	7	(40 - Kovacs Eduardo / García Rubén): retired after SS 7
01. 10. 2023 18:17 01. 10. 2023 23:17 CET	7	(22 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I spun! There is so much dust in the car, it's incredible. It's not outside that's the problem it's inside.
01. 10. 2023 18:17 01. 10. 2023 23:17 CET	7	(22 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): spun
01. 10. 2023 18:16 01. 10. 2023 23:16 CET	7	(21 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): A few times I needed to literally stop because of the dust. I couldn't see anything, but it is how it is. There's not much we can do.
01. 10. 2023 18:16 01. 10. 2023 23:16 CET	7	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Extremely demanding. I was not sure if my tyre choice was correct, but now I think it's okay. The road is so hard, it's tough.
01. 10. 2023 18:16 01. 10. 2023 23:16 CET	7	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): Really, really bad. Huge understeer at the beginning and huge oversteer at the end. It's going to be a really long loop, so we will see.
01. 10. 2023 18:15 01. 10. 2023 23:15 CET	7	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Pretty tricky conditions in there and quite slippy coming down the hill. I was a bit careful and struggled with the dust, especially near the beginning.
01. 10. 2023 18:15 01. 10. 2023 23:15 CET	7	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Puncture... 10kms.
01. 10. 2023 18:15 01. 10. 2023 23:15 CET	7	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): puncture
01. 10. 2023 18:15 01. 10. 2023 23:15 CET	7	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Not really feeling good, but anyway, hopefully it's better than yesterday. I am still struggling with the car a bit on the twisty sections. I don't like how it feels at the moment, but that's all we can do.
01. 10. 2023 18:14 01. 10. 2023 23:14 CET	7	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure with this dust, you cannot drive like normal. In some places you have not any visibility but, okay, it's probably the same for everybody.
01. 10. 2023 18:14 01. 10. 2023 23:14 CET	7	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We had a problem with the launch control. It stalled two seconds from the start, so it's always disturbing and difficult to concentrate. I think the first loop will be difficult with the cleaning and things, but why not try something in the second loop? The goal is to improve.
01. 10. 2023 18:14 01. 10. 2023 23:14 CET	7	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): Like always, a beautiful stage with a lot of people. I enjoyed a lot. It's the first time I am opening the road in a rally and I am learning.
01. 10. 2023 19:09 02. 10. 2023 00:09 CET	6	(38 - Lyon Germán / Vera Sebastián): accident in SS 6
01. 10. 2023 18:12 01. 10. 2023 23:12 CET	6	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): All is under control, so we have nothing to worry about.
01. 10. 2023 18:12 01. 10. 2023 23:12 CET	6	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Of course, we got the idea of how slippery it is and the morning loop was very difficult. At the end I felt much better, but still I am missing some kind of confidence and feeling. We need to find out what we can improve but otherwise it has been okay.
01. 10. 2023 18:12 01. 10. 2023 23:12 CET	6	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Teemu is still coming, and he has been very fast this afternoon. The first one and this one were extremely tough. When it's this hard base, the car is moving so bad and you can't find the stability so we just had to manage through. But we had a good clean run.
01. 10. 2023 18:11 01. 10. 2023 23:11 CET	6	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know the standings but we had an issue before the stage. I lost the hybrid, so I did the whole stage without. I tried to do a good stage, I am fighting, but there were a couple of hot moments in there.
01. 10. 2023 18:11 01. 10. 2023 23:11 CET	6	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It felt worse, I really struggled for grip - especially at the rear. We did what we could but I am not sure if it's going to be great. I don't know if it's just loose or what it was, but it's exceptionally slippy.
01. 10. 2023 18:11 01. 10. 2023 23:11 CET	6	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I had a half spin, so I lost some time there going a bit not the right way. I am happy to be at the end of the day. The second pass was much more demanding than the first pass. There is a hard base on the road but there is no line at all, we are going everywhere and I cannot do anything at all.
01. 10. 2023 18:10 01. 10. 2023 23:10 CET	6	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): was out of road
01. 10. 2023 19:09 02. 10. 2023 00:09 CET	5	(27 - Bulacia Marco / Roca Fabricio): retired after SS 5
01. 10. 2023 19:08 02. 10. 2023 00:08 CET	5	(27 - Bulacia Marco / Roca Fabricio): rolled
01. 10. 2023 18:10 01. 10. 2023 23:10 CET	5	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): We are continuing our learning. It was really good, sometimes I overdrive but it's okay. I saw my mother on this stage in a corner, and I said 'hi' to her!
01. 10. 2023 18:10 01. 10. 2023 23:10 CET	5	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): This stage I like a lot. After the jump I think the bonnet is bent, so that's something new.
01. 10. 2023 18:09 01. 10. 2023 23:09 CET	5	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I did a good stage...
01. 10. 2023 18:09 01. 10. 2023 23:09 CET	5	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We had a massive moment in this one, so I don't know how we got away with that! The rear wing is on, so that's good news for me! I went wide and heavily hit the bank, then on the next corner I was off the corner completely.
01. 10. 2023 18:09 01. 10. 2023 23:09 CET	5	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Obviously, after the jump the previous time, I really slowed down. Let's see - the next one is crucial.
01. 10. 2023 18:09 01. 10. 2023 23:09 CET	5	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Not so different from this morning, to be honest. There is still a lot of cleaning in there. In this stage I struggle less with the car than on the others, I don't know why. I am not feeling 100 per cent comfortable but it is what it is and we're going to continue working to try and find some improvements.
01. 10. 2023 18:08 01. 10. 2023 23:08 CET	5	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's even more loose now I would say than the morning. A couple of little areas were costing us here and there, so not a perfect run but all okay.
01. 10. 2023 18:08 01. 10. 2023 23:08 CET	5	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's definitely a bit better in the afternoon, this one has a really hard base on the road but still there is a lot of loose gravel. It feels like we are sliding a lot and there were a lot of surprises. Anyway, a clean stage.
01. 10. 2023 18:08 01. 10. 2023 23:08 CET	4	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): It was a good stage for us. We are enjoying and understanding the car more all the time. It was more rough for sure and outside the lines there is no grip at all.
01. 10. 2023 18:08 01. 10. 2023 23:08 CET	4	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It was better conditions hut as we were struggling on the first pass, I was still hesitating a lot in this second pass. The grip was sometimes better but also sometimes not, and I was surprised. It's tricky to handle.
01. 10. 2023 18:07 01. 10. 2023 23:07 CET	4	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It was all good. I enjoyed driving and the grip level is higher, so all good.
01. 10. 2023 18:07 01. 10. 2023 23:07 CET	4	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We had a mental reset by eating the rice! We changed the set-up and everything feels very good. It was a clean run through with no mistakes.
01. 10. 2023 18:07 01. 10. 2023 23:07 CET	4	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I tried hard on this one and after two kilometres already the tyres were quite hot, so we tried to come through as smooth as we could. It seems okay at the moment.
01. 10. 2023 18:07 01. 10. 2023 23:07 CET	4	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I think it's about tyre management, I was managing the whole stage through and I think it's going to be a long afternoon. When I am managing the tyres I can drive the car, but as soon as I push harder I go into a spin.
01. 10. 2023 18:06 01. 10. 2023 23:06 CET	4	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's very hard now, but still a bit of cleaning I guess. It's still not super-easy.
01. 10. 2023 18:06 01. 10. 2023 23:06 CET	4	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): For sure, it's better than in the morning but it's still quite a big mess after all the small cars. I think the stage has been open for some civilian cars between runs also. That's not good, but I tried to be clean on the messy lines.
01. 10. 2023 19:09 02. 10. 2023 00:09 CET	3	(39 - Rosselot Gerardo / Brizio Marcelo): time limit exceeded in TC 3A
01. 10. 2023 18:05 01. 10. 2023 23:05 CET	3	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): It's a big learning curve. We are really happy because we finished the first loop and now we were struggling a bit with the tyres. I had a bit of overheating and I wasn't sure how to manage it.
01. 10. 2023 18:04 01. 10. 2023 23:04 CET	3	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I didn't see Loubet's car. Long story short, we don't have the pace notes so we asked someone to send them by phone and Louis Louka tried his best to give them.
01. 10. 2023 18:04 01. 10. 2023 23:04 CET	3	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): accident in SS 3
01. 10. 2023 18:04 01. 10. 2023 23:04 CET	3	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): rolled
01. 10. 2023 18:04 01. 10. 2023 23:04 CET	3	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It's great to be here, but I could drive faster. It's still all about learning - it's my first time here with these conditions, so I have room to improve.
01. 10. 2023 18:03 01. 10. 2023 23:03 CET	3	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Like I said, I didn't feel so good in my driving. The car is good but my pace notes and my driving didn't match so well.
01. 10. 2023 18:03 01. 10. 2023 23:03 CET	3	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): There is always surprises! Incredibly tricky. I have no hybrid and it's generally hard. It seems like we have been having some damper issue since the beginning, so I'm happy to get back to service now.
01. 10. 2023 18:03 01. 10. 2023 23:03 CET	3	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's very scary to be honest. I am fighting like hell and I am having lots of moments. A lot of work to be done.
01. 10. 2023 18:02 01. 10. 2023 23:02 CET	3	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been pretty difficult with the low grip, especially with the new pace notes. It's really difficult to gauge how you're doing because it's so technical and the grip is so low.
01. 10. 2023 18:02 01. 10. 2023 23:02 CET	3	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Quite tricky. We still seem to have a lot of cleaning so that's definitely quite tricky. Also in here I felt that the car balance was not so good, I was oversteering everywhere all the time and that's not a fast way to go.
01. 10. 2023 18:01 01. 10. 2023 23:01 CET	3	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Grégoire Munster's co-driver, Louis Louka, has forgotten his pace note book... He's been reading from his mobile phone so far this morning.
01. 10. 2023 19:08 02. 10. 2023 00:08 CET	2	(48 - Muñoz Patricio / Recalt Miguel): technical problem after SS 2
01. 10. 2023 19:06 02. 10. 2023 00:06 CET	2	Stage was cancelled.
01. 10. 2023 19:06 02. 10. 2023 00:06 CET	2	Stage was stopped because of accident of car no. 55.
01. 10. 2023 19:05 02. 10. 2023 00:05 CET	2	(55 - Fuertes Iván / Ferrero Victor): accident in SS 2
01. 10. 2023 19:04 02. 10. 2023 00:04 CET	2	(54 - Palma Lucas / Braun Augusto): retired before SS 2
01. 10. 2023 18:52 01. 10. 2023 23:52 CET	2	(24 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): puncture
01. 10. 2023 18:00 01. 10. 2023 23:00 CET	2	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): We are building speed corner by corner all the time. I am really happy an enjoying to see all of the people.
01. 10. 2023 18:00 01. 10. 2023 23:00 CET	2	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): At least I had turbo response in this stage, but still not ideal.
01. 10. 2023 18:00 01. 10. 2023 23:00 CET	2	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): I lost a bit of time at the beginning of the stage on a slot right. It was a good stage without that, it's fine.
01. 10. 2023 18:00 01. 10. 2023 23:00 CET	2	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): Really bad. I missed one braking and lost many seconds there, then at the end I hit a bank.
01. 10. 2023 17:59 01. 10. 2023 22:59 CET	2	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): This stage is much easier than the first one but I am basically driving so bad. Honestly, it's really bad driving so far.
01. 10. 2023 17:58 01. 10. 2023 22:58 CET	2	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I had a spin and we had a hard landing on the jump at the beginning and we lost the hybrid and stuff.
01. 10. 2023 17:58 01. 10. 2023 22:58 CET	2	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was better. We can still improve but we did a big step on the chassis. Still, I cannot trust it, so I always need to be careful in case there is a little bit less grip than we expect.
01. 10. 2023 17:58 01. 10. 2023 22:58 CET	2	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's pretty loose. It's going to keep getting quicker, I'm sure. This one is a pretty fast stage and quite flowing.
01. 10. 2023 17:58 01. 10. 2023 22:58 CET	2	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): This one was definitely a bit better. Still, so much cleaning - more than I was expecting, it's really difficult. I was saying 'hi' to a really cute dog on the road sectio before this - hopefully that gives us some good luck at least!
01. 10. 2023 19:04 02. 10. 2023 00:04 CET	1	(66 - Ibarra Julio / Araneda José): retired in SS 1
01. 10. 2023 19:03 02. 10. 2023 00:03 CET	1	(65 - Cohen Harold / Gajardo Hugo): retired in SS 1
01. 10. 2023 17:56 01. 10. 2023 22:56 CET	1	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): Everything is part of our learning. The good thing is that I know very well the stages. In the tricky parts I was careful but in the parts I know I have more confidence, I tried.
01. 10. 2023 17:55 01. 10. 2023 22:55 CET	1	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It was a mess. I was lacking some pace notes and I think the mechanic touched the buttons and we had the wrong ALS and wrong energy buttons. The car was not going well.
01. 10. 2023 17:55 01. 10. 2023 22:55 CET	1	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): Quite slippery and difficult to see the road, but we tried to do a good one.
01. 10. 2023 17:55 01. 10. 2023 22:55 CET	1	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It's a shame to see EP off. For us it was an okay start but extremely tricky. There are so many grip changes.
01. 10. 2023 17:55 01. 10. 2023 22:55 CET	1	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): accident in SS 1
01. 10. 2023 17:54 01. 10. 2023 22:54 CET	1	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): rolled
01. 10. 2023 17:54 01. 10. 2023 22:54 CET	1	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The stage is fun but extremely demanding. I can't really say I am feeling comfortable in the car - it's not so easy at the moment and for sure I would like to improve.
01. 10. 2023 17:54 01. 10. 2023 22:54 CET	1	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have no grip. I couldn't find the confidence. It was tough, hard work this morning to wake up like this and to not have the feeling. The car is sliding all around so I really struggled a lot in there.
01. 10. 2023 17:53 01. 10. 2023 22:53 CET	1	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was still cleaning, especially at the beginning. That's to be expected I guess.
01. 10. 2023 17:53 01. 10. 2023 22:53 CET	1	(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I am not surprised to be honest. It was much more loose than I expected and I think definitely one of the worst stages I have driven this year, driving wise also. We need to be better in the next one.
01. 10. 2023 17:49 01. 10. 2023 22:49 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(28 - Heller Alberto / Allende Luis): The best feeling in the world! Amazing. I am at home, I am the most happy man in the world, I think!
01. 10. 2023 17:48 01. 10. 2023 22:48 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's incredible. The corners arrive so fast, the braking and the pace notes. So much fun, it's great. We enjoyed so much this 5km and we have 300km left!
01. 10. 2023 17:48 01. 10. 2023 22:48 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): It looks very nice. The stages are very enjoyable so I hope we will enjoy this rally.
01. 10. 2023 17:48 01. 10. 2023 22:48 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I enjoy driving on fast roads. It seems that there has been some rain so maybe there is not as much loose gravek as we thought.
01. 10. 2023 17:48 01. 10. 2023 22:48 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The feeling is good and the car is working well. It's pretty slippy in some places but all good. The stages are nice - very technical and difficult - but it's quite challenging so we all like it.
01. 10. 2023 17:48 01. 10. 2023 22:48 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): There are three characteristics and every day is different. Friday is very challenging.
01. 10. 2023 17:47 01. 10. 2023 22:47 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Great roads, I guess some of the best you can find in the championship. It seems like most of them are new for this year as well, so they seem to have a good choice of roads.
01. 10. 2023 17:47 01. 10. 2023 22:47 CET	SHAKEDOWN	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know how good the car will be, but I hope it will be very good - that's for sure! It was quite humid now but the grip was quite okay. The stages here are very nice but very challenging for the drivers and for the cars as well.

It's nice to be back, the stages look quite nice. Definitely a lot of cleaning for us, but that's quite normal.
