06. 08. 2023 15:44 CET 		22 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been a pretty good weekend. Of course we're sorry for the loss of Kalle at the start of the rally but after that it's been really fantastic to drive this car - it's such a joy to be behind the wheel of on these roads and we're really happy with this one. It's been a fantastic atmosphere and great to have the support behind us. Of course, in terms of the championship it's also not bad and we close the gap.
06. 08. 2023 16:44
06. 08. 2023 15:44 CET 		22 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a big relief to be on the podium in Finland again after 10 years of, I would say, a struggle. It shows that together with the team and the changes that are ongoing we are going in the right way. I am happy it's now over and we get a bit of a break because this weekend was really exhausting.
06. 08. 2023 16:44
06. 08. 2023 15:44 CET 		22 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): My first podium in Europe and I didn't expect it in Finland! I am very happy, thank you for all the support - especially my family. Morizo-san, Akio-san is here this weekend and it's been very special for me because he has been supporting me since the beginning.
06. 08. 2023 16:44
06. 08. 2023 15:44 CET 		22 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): The result itself is quite good but we were a bit slow when we were facing rain and slippy conditions. A bit disappointed but we just have to prepare well for the next rallies and come back as a better driver. I am really looking forward for the future.
06. 08. 2023 16:43
06. 08. 2023 15:43 CET 		22 flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): It's been amazing fun, thanks to Toyota for giving me this great opportunity. This stage was exactly what we wanted, it was a clean run with no mistakes. Even Juho said that I surprised him on this stage so if we can get one point it will be perfect.
06. 08. 2023 16:43
06. 08. 2023 15:43 CET 		22 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): We tried to do our best, you never know - if somebody misses a junction or something, we might get a point. We lost power, since yesterday we had a small issue and it's grown.
06. 08. 2023 16:43
06. 08. 2023 15:43 CET 		22 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was a little bit of a mistake to not score points, but that's life and a win is a win. Finland has not been great in the past so to finally do a good result against the locals at this level of speed is fantastic.
06. 08. 2023 16:43
06. 08. 2023 15:43 CET 		22 flash info (27 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It's a really, really nice feeling. Thank you to everyone, it seems to be every rally I say this to everyone but I am so pleased and grateful to be here. It's a really nice feeling and this belongs to many people who are helping us.
06. 08. 2023 16:43
06. 08. 2023 15:43 CET 		22 flash info (26 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I have to say that the team has been working really well. We had a good result here and we had no issues at all on the car. It wasn't in the plan to be finishing on the podium here and it's a good result for everybody. Fighting with the Finnish drivers here is quite special.
06. 08. 2023 16:42
06. 08. 2023 15:42 CET 		22 flash info (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I like this one but it was a little bit challenging with the ruts. I am not sure we will take the stage win but I was trying.
06. 08. 2023 16:41
06. 08. 2023 15:41 CET 		22 flash info (30 - Heikkilä Mikko / Vaaleri Samu): It was the seventh rally in a row which has been a disaster for us. We basically didn't have so much to do on this rally, we could not fight for the top places. It was more like driving through.
06. 08. 2023 16:41
06. 08. 2023 15:41 CET 		22 flash info (34 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): I couldn't really get the car very well sorted for this stage. Struggled a lot in both passes but at least we are through safely. It's good to have a rally without drama for a change.
06. 08. 2023 16:41
06. 08. 2023 15:41 CET 		22 flash info (29 - Joona Lauri / Shemeikka Tuukka): Of course, I have enjoyed it a lot. The stages are really nice and it was a good rally for us.
06. 08. 2023 16:39
06. 08. 2023 15:39 CET 		22 Starting order: Joona, Linnamäe, Mikkelsen, Heikkilä, Gryazin, Fourmaux, Pajari, Solberg, Loubet, Latvala, Suninen, Katsuta, Neuville, Evans

06. 08. 2023 15:39 CET 		21 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The Power Stage is not a nice stage but we have to try to find a good rhythm and drive really. It's not one to be bouncing off the banks. Let's see what's possible.
06. 08. 2023 16:39
06. 08. 2023 15:39 CET 		21 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The Power Stage recce is done and we just had a clean run through. I am surprised by the time because we had a steady run through. Let's see now what we can do in the Power Stage. It has been a good rally so far so we need to end on a good note. My feeling tells me that there are a few good things still to come.
06. 08. 2023 16:39
06. 08. 2023 15:39 CET 		21 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's not over and anything is still possible. I need to stay focused. I was pushing a lot but obviously making too many mistakes. It could be better but this is part of the learning.
06. 08. 2023 16:38
06. 08. 2023 15:38 CET 		21 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I couldn't keep the speed up in the high-speed places, I was struggling with the rear and it was going everywhere. I keep trying, I keep pushing, that's all I can do now.
06. 08. 2023 16:38
06. 08. 2023 15:38 CET 		21 flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): It was good fun. In one junction I drove a little bit bad but other than that it was great fun. I knew I could go a little bit faster but I had to calm down because I had a little bit of a moment.
06. 08. 2023 16:38
06. 08. 2023 15:38 CET 		21 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): We hope we will be able to do the Power Stage. We'll see how it's going, it's a strange feeling.
06. 08. 2023 16:38
06. 08. 2023 15:38 CET 		20 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's a tricky stage, quite low grip - lower than expected. It was just a steady run for now and we'll see later.
06. 08. 2023 16:37
06. 08. 2023 15:37 CET 		20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The plan is easy, we take the maximum points we can get. If we get second place and some good points then we can go home happy with our result.
06. 08. 2023 16:37
06. 08. 2023 15:37 CET 		20 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It would be nice to have a bit more of an advantage but we still have two stages to go. For sure, Suninen never gives up so we have to keep on pushing.
06. 08. 2023 16:37
06. 08. 2023 15:37 CET 		20 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I just tried to keep going and that's all I can do now. It was a team decision not to carry a spare wheel but I fully agree that I have to give it a try and go for it. I had some moments there and it wasn't the best run.
06. 08. 2023 16:37
06. 08. 2023 15:37 CET 		20 flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): Really good memories here, back in 2010 we won it. It was a tricky stage, I can tell you that the grip level was not what I expected. We had a bit of a moment on a left-hander and Juho was not happy!
06. 08. 2023 16:36
06. 08. 2023 15:36 CET 		20 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was surprisingly very slippery. The engineer saw something yesterday so he asked me to be cautious on the first stages and to push in the Power Stage only.
06. 08. 2023 16:36
06. 08. 2023 15:36 CET 		19 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Everything's working. It didn't feel so committed in a few places but clearly this thing is working pretty well so the times are coming.
06. 08. 2023 16:36
06. 08. 2023 15:36 CET 		19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): All good. We are just cruising through and watching the battle behind us.
06. 08. 2023 16:36
06. 08. 2023 15:36 CET 		19 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): There is a new section in here and I think Teemu has done this stage before. For me it was the first time. It's okay.
06. 08. 2023 16:35
06. 08. 2023 15:35 CET 		19 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I am really trying to push but I am still fighting quite a lot with the rear and the rear is going everywhere. I think I have to be more finer with the driving and try to avoid the slides.
06. 08. 2023 16:35
06. 08. 2023 15:35 CET 		19 flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): This is one of the classic stages, one that I have been waiting for. Great feeling to drive, fantastic. I was a little bit slow in the first part of the stage on the narrow road but it was generally good fun, we enjoyed it.
06. 08. 2023 16:35
06. 08. 2023 15:35 CET 		19 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): Unfortunately after we drive in the mud we had a little issue so we had to be careful.
05. 08. 2023 20:23
05. 08. 2023 19:23 CET 		18 retired (75 - Cartier Victor / Deliot Manon): accident in SS 18
05. 08. 2023 19:08
05. 08. 2023 18:08 CET 		18 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was very tricky to be honest. I took it on the careful side and there were a few places where it felt like a sledge! Obviously it's a nice position to be in but of course there are still more stages to come tomorrow. The focus will be on that now and we'll try to keep doing the same.
05. 08. 2023 19:08
05. 08. 2023 18:08 CET 		18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): A tricky stage to end the day, I am happy to be here now. It wasn't the day we were hoping for but still it was a good day. We had some speed this morning but it was trickier this afternoon, but anyway the game was over. It's nice to be in this position in Finland, we didn't expect that.
05. 08. 2023 19:08
05. 08. 2023 18:08 CET 		18 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I was scared so much to be honest! Kalle Rovanperä is very good in these conditions and he has been teaching me a lot. I tried the drifting and I was pushing like hell. Still many things to improve but if I am faster than Suninen it's good.
05. 08. 2023 19:07
05. 08. 2023 18:07 CET 		18 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It was just a lot of water on the line and it seems like I was too careful.
05. 08. 2023 19:07
05. 08. 2023 18:07 CET 		18 flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): It was undriveable, I can tell you it was horrible! The ruts were full of water but we lifted the car up, so thanks to our engineer for asking us to do it. We weren't wanting to do it but it helped in this stage.
05. 08. 2023 19:07
05. 08. 2023 18:07 CET 		18 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): The worst stage of the weekend. There is no grip and I had water in all of the ruts. I was not able to drive, I was just pushed out of the line. Undriveable.
05. 08. 2023 19:10
05. 08. 2023 18:10 CET 		17 Stage is cancelled.
05. 08. 2023 19:02
05. 08. 2023 18:02 CET 		17 Stage was stopped because of accident of car no. 72.

05. 08. 2023 18:28
05. 08. 2023 17:28 CET 		17 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm obviously not doing anything too crazy but still trying to keep a good rhythm and trying to drive well. That's the goal for now.
05. 08. 2023 18:28
05. 08. 2023 17:28 CET 		17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am not pushing, really. I had a very clean run through, I can't do more. We are too far back now. We have to keep going in case something happens but other than this we don't have the power to fight for the victory.
05. 08. 2023 18:28
05. 08. 2023 17:28 CET 		17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's close! I am enjoying it quite a lot to be honest. Let's keep pushing and let's see.
05. 08. 2023 18:28
05. 08. 2023 17:28 CET 		17 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): 0.6? Not much, but I was trying. Not a perfect stage but quite good.
05. 08. 2023 18:28
05. 08. 2023 17:28 CET 		17 flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): The car is a bit stiffer and higher to compensate for the ruts. We had a little bit of an impact on the sump guard so maybe 5mm higher would have been better, but all good. Once junction missed but apart from that we had fun.
05. 08. 2023 18:27
05. 08. 2023 17:27 CET 		17 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): In the narrow road it was a bit better, but when you take the wide road there are lines everywhere and we struggled quite a bit. It's quite tricky but really enjoyable in this car.
05. 08. 2023 18:18
05. 08. 2023 17:18 CET 		17 (39 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): accident in SS 17

05. 08. 2023 17:12
05. 08. 2023 16:12 CET 		16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We're just trying to keep it clean and tidy and stay in the line, but also still trying to go quickly. It's going quite okay. Obviously the conditions are not the easiest but we're managing quite well for now.
05. 08. 2023 17:12
05. 08. 2023 16:12 CET 		16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It wasn't a big push, it was a nice clean drive through. I wasn't happy with the handling at the beginning, I thought we had punctured but at the end it seemed to work. Anything can happen in there, there are some really rough sections.
05. 08. 2023 17:12
05. 08. 2023 16:12 CET 		16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I had a bit of a strange feeling from the engine. It should be okay, I don't know.
05. 08. 2023 17:12
05. 08. 2023 16:12 CET 		16 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): The ruts are super tricky. I had to change my driving style quite a lot and it might help but it's not natural. I try to go for it.
05. 08. 2023 17:11
05. 08. 2023 16:11 CET 		16 flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): A little bit slower. I had a good stage but that's the way it is, maybe I am getting a little bit old! Otherwise we had fun.
05. 08. 2023 17:11
05. 08. 2023 16:11 CET 		16 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): Quite tricky. The ruts were quite deep and the conditions were very difficult in some parts of the stage. It's demanding.

05. 08. 2023 15:22 CET 		15 flash info (27 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I saw Jari was on the side, actually quite close to the finish. There are some ruts but for me it was just giving some extra grip to keep the car in the line. It wasn't that bad for me.

05. 08. 2023 15:20 CET 		15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I don't know, to be honest I wasn't sure if I was going well or not! Maybe I was pushing a bit harder at the end. It wasn't nice, especially at the beginning there were more ruts than expected. I seemed to deal with them okay but it's still a surprise to have deeper ruts in here.
05. 08. 2023 16:20
05. 08. 2023 15:20 CET 		15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I didn't expect the ruts, to be honest. I just didn't have the ride height for the stage. It's very tricky, the grip is coming and going, coming and going.
05. 08. 2023 16:20
05. 08. 2023 15:20 CET 		15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Quite okay. The conditions were not as tricky as this morning so it's easier to drive. In the next one I will try to push more because in this one I was a bit looking after everything. All works well and the car feels good, let's see.
05. 08. 2023 16:20
05. 08. 2023 15:20 CET 		15 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It was super exciting. Not happy with the run - I struggled quite badly.
05. 08. 2023 16:19
05. 08. 2023 15:19 CET 		15 flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): Hänninen: From time to time he is doing quite okay. For sure, the rhythm is not always there but he is always quite relaxed, not overdoing anything and not pushing too much. There is plenty of work to try to control him!
05. 08. 2023 16:19
05. 08. 2023 15:19 CET 		15 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was okay but I am very surprised by the feeling. I don't know why, the line was so strange and the grip between where the line is and outside of it is so different.

05. 08. 2023 12:21 CET 		14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's still a pretty small gap and we've got a lot of rallying to do. We have to continue with our rhythm, it feels good to drive like this and if the performance is good enough then we have to carry on.
05. 08. 2023 13:21
05. 08. 2023 12:21 CET 		14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't have the grip and the car is moving a lot. From pure performance, it's not possible to catch Evans.
05. 08. 2023 13:21
05. 08. 2023 12:21 CET 		14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay. I expected to be a bit more slow because I was not committed enough. If the time is like this then it's fine, I'll try to be a bit more committed in the second pass.
05. 08. 2023 13:20
05. 08. 2023 12:20 CET 		14 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It was quite bad, I was struggling quite a lot to keep the rear in the line but we will try to work on that.
05. 08. 2023 13:20
05. 08. 2023 12:20 CET 		14 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): Not easy conditions. The grip was very strange, I was thinking that it would be higher but it was changing a lot.

05. 08. 2023 12:20 CET 		13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was quite low grip in places for me. I tried to be really tidy in the slower places and as committed as I could in the high-speed.
05. 08. 2023 13:20
05. 08. 2023 12:20 CET 		13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage. To be honest, I am at the maximum of what I can do. I am spinning the wheels up all the time, it's a bit muddy and we just had no traction in there.

05. 08. 2023 12:19 CET 		13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We had really no grip. I am struggling a lot.

05. 08. 2023 12:19 CET 		13 flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): That was a nice stage but Juho was not happy because in a couple of places it was slippy and according to him I didn't believe him enough! Anyway, it was a good stage. I have never done that end part but it was really fun. The last 2km before the finish, there's a junction in the forest and it's very slippy. I hope our boys won't stall or spin in there!

05. 08. 2023 13:18
05. 08. 2023 12:18 CET 		12 flash info (28 - Huttunen Jari / Haapala Antti): I think we all know this road. The end of the stage was not going really well because after the jump I hit something and felt like we had a puncture. We probably don't, but I took it easy after that.
05. 08. 2023 13:18
05. 08. 2023 12:18 CET 		12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was quite clean and tidy, just doing what I need to do. For sure, I felt in some places I should have been a bit more brave, especially at the start where I didn't do as well as I would have liked. It's nice to be in this position and, of course, there's a long way to go.
05. 08. 2023 13:18

It was an amazing stage and I think all the drivers are trying to push to the limit. It's quite slippy in places and I was struggling a little with the rear.
05. 08. 2023 13:17
05. 08. 2023 12:17 CET 		12 flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): It was a nice stage, I was getting this old feeling from the past when you are driving over the jumps and flying! Juho was angry with me because I touched a rock in the first or second right-hand corner, I need to be more careful next time!
05. 08. 2023 13:17
05. 08. 2023 12:17 CET 		12 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was a very nice stage. Quite demanding but we enjoyed. Quite tricky with the conditions still and the grip is a bit tricky to understand, so let's see.

05. 08. 2023 13:16
05. 08. 2023 12:16 CET 		11 flash info (28 - Huttunen Jari / Haapala Antti): Nothing special, it was slippy in some corners and quite difficult to know where you can push. All okay.
05. 08. 2023 13:16
05. 08. 2023 12:16 CET 		11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Everything's working quite well with the car but with the passage of cars I think certain corners are getting quite slippery with all the mud being dragged out.
05. 08. 2023 13:15
05. 08. 2023 12:15 CET 		11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's not a surprise. I was fighting with the grip. As soon as I tried a little bit more, I lost the car. I couldn't stay in the line and I did what I could.
05. 08. 2023 13:15
05. 08. 2023 12:15 CET 		11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): In this one I had to be quite careful because in the beginning already I had to change the pace notes a bit. I was missing some pace note information and I had to ask Aaron what was coming, I was a bit confused.
05. 08. 2023 13:15
05. 08. 2023 12:15 CET 		11 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It's not going to be easy, I have to be honest. I tried to be pushing and tried to avoid the mistakes but the conditions are quite tricky now and the grip level is changing a lot. I will try to push and take time back.
05. 08. 2023 13:15
05. 08. 2023 12:15 CET 		11 flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): I was a bit worried, I was a little bit afraid going into this stage about how it's going to be - but the grip level was constant, it wasn't as bad as I thought. If I had known at the end I would have attacked more!
05. 08. 2023 13:15
05. 08. 2023 12:15 CET 		11 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was very tricky to start after what happened yesterday. I was very cautious to find the grip but it was very demanding. The grip was very low in some parts.

04. 08. 2023 20:09 CET 		10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Overall it's been an okay day. We're pretty happy overall and obviously we've still got a lot of driving to do tomorrow.

04. 08. 2023 20:09 CET 		10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a good stage but on the first hairpin I stuck in second gear and had to push the clutch to get speed. Other than this it was a clean run.
04. 08. 2023 21:09
04. 08. 2023 20:09 CET 		10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): So far everything is good. I was losing a bit of time in the morning but otherwise it's going pretty okay. Tomorrow is a big day, I'll try to manage it well and move closer.
04. 08. 2023 21:08
04. 08. 2023 20:08 CET 		10 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I have been quite happy with the day. It's been super tricky conditions with the rain and the grip changes but I have been happy with the car, that's a good thing. The dream is still alive to get the podium but we need to have a good Saturday.
04. 08. 2023 21:08
04. 08. 2023 20:08 CET 		10 flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): Generally it's been a very good day and we can be very pleased with the performance. It's not an easy stage to finish the day, I took it quite carefully so that we could get through and continue with our nice experience here at Rally Finland.

04. 08. 2023 18:38
04. 08. 2023 17:38 CET 		9 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I could have pushed a bit more, the grip level was really equal in every corner. It's still 10 seconds ahead so it's not going to be easy, but of course [a podium] our target. I will try to take a step forward with my driving.
04. 08. 2023 18:38
04. 08. 2023 17:38 CET 		9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Of course I will try to push as much as I can but in this one I expected more tricky conditions. It wasn't so bad so I was losing time by myself. Tomorrow is a big day and anything can happen.

04. 08. 2023 17:37 CET 		9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Now we have no choice! Obviously Kalle is off, so one of our main contenders is out. Elfyn is one of our main contenders in the championship and we are fighting for the victory. Now we're going to go for it.
04. 08. 2023 18:37
04. 08. 2023 17:37 CET 		9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Kalle's retirement doesn't change anything, really. It's very early in the rally and of course it's a shame for Kalle, he was doing a great job, but from our side there's still a long way to go and it's business as usual.

04. 08. 2023 16:25 CET 		8 flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): We had a nice rhythm. It was definitely slippier and it would have been nice to drive this stage in dry conditions. I was a little bit cautious in the beginning because we heard about Kalle. I think Taka is in a position where he needs to help Elfyn in the championship but I have good confidence in my boys. I need to have a little bit of confidence in myself now also!
04. 08. 2023 17:25
04. 08. 2023 16:25 CET 		8 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): Super tricky. The grip level is changing a lot and I got the information that Kalle was off, so I was a bit careful. You can see immediately on the stage times that there is no room for any caution on the stages.
04. 08. 2023 17:11
04. 08. 2023 16:11 CET 		8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I was trying to not think about it. This can happen in these kinds of tricky conditions in the stage. I am just trying to focus on my job now for the next one.
04. 08. 2023 17:11
04. 08. 2023 16:11 CET 		8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We got slowed down, I don't know, 800 metres before the crash. People were waving and I was accelerating and stopping when actually the road was free. It is what it is, I did what I could to be honest.

I am starting to get used to the speed, we are still understanding the slippy conditions. It's something that I am not totally comfortable with yet but hopefully that will improve.
04. 08. 2023 16:14

04. 08. 2023 16:13
04. 08. 2023 15:13 CET 		7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I stopped at the yellow sign! I was angry with the wipers and I stopped a bit before the finish. In the fast speed the wipers are not cleaning. I couldn't see anything there.
04. 08. 2023 16:13
04. 08. 2023 15:13 CET 		7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's not always the nicest, the standing water always catches you out a bit. I expected the time gap in some ways to be a bit more because we know how good Kalle is in these conditions and I didn't have the best stage.
04. 08. 2023 16:13
04. 08. 2023 15:13 CET 		7 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was quite okay. For sure, this stage is quite a rough one so it can get quite rutted, but overall it was a clean stage for me. The conditions are definitely tricky at the moment.

The driving was not so easy and the rhythm wasn't that great at the beginning, but the main thing is we made no major mistakes and we got it through.
04. 08. 2023 16:12
04. 08. 2023 15:12 CET 		6 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It's extremely tricky. It's slippy with a lot of water and a lot of grip changes. It's a big challenge but I will push and I will try.
04. 08. 2023 16:12
04. 08. 2023 15:12 CET 		6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): These conditions are making it even more difficult than this morning. In some places you have good grip and then in others you have no grip at all. I had a few moments.
04. 08. 2023 16:12
04. 08. 2023 15:12 CET 		6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have no grip. I struggled a lot with the traction and I am losing the car sometimes, I don't know why. Evans and Rovanperä were doing a rally last week in those conditions so they knew exactly what to expect, and I didn't.
04. 08. 2023 16:11
04. 08. 2023 15:11 CET 		6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was okay but quite tricky conditions, a couple of big slides a bit unexpectedly. Other than that it was fine.
04. 08. 2023 16:11
04. 08. 2023 15:11 CET 		6 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was quite tricky to be first car on the road, especially in the ruts with a lot of standing water.

04. 08. 2023 16:10
04. 08. 2023 15:10 CET 		5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was pretty slippery, that's for sure. I wasn't expecting it, it looked like pretty good grip but it was really bad and the rain was really quite heavy at the start.

04. 08. 2023 15:09 CET 		5 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Proper bad for me. The grip was really low and I was sliding all the time everywhere, I just didn't have a clean run. I tried to be quite okay but there was no grip at all. Definitely a tricky stage to be the first car.

04. 08. 2023 16:08
04. 08. 2023 15:08 CET 		4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage to be honest but it's a bit more technical towards the end and maybe I was just a bit careful in a very fast corner that tightened. I don't know if I am still missing some rear grip - sometimes you lose it and it brings you a bit wide. We need to work on that.
04. 08. 2023 16:07
04. 08. 2023 15:07 CET 		4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been drier than expected. I wasn't happy with my run to be honest, I just didn't carry the speed where I really wanted. It's a great stage and very good to drive but I wanted to do better.
04. 08. 2023 16:07
04. 08. 2023 15:07 CET 		4 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's quite an exciting stage. Not easy, it could have been a lot more wet for us - there is a lot of loose gravel.
04. 08. 2023 16:09
04. 08. 2023 15:09 CET 		3 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): In a very fast place, it seems like we touched bedrock or something on the road in a compression. Obviously it has broken the sump guard and from underneath I can see that the starter motor is cracked. Other than that, it is not clear, but I can see that the engine oil is out and the engine is clearly broken. It’s quite probable there is a hole in the engine somewhere so I think this rally should be finished.

04. 08. 2023 14:46 CET 		3 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I am happy with the driving. I feel comfortable and if I go faster than this, I don't feel comfortable! That's it.

04. 08. 2023 15:44
04. 08. 2023 14:44 CET 		3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage. I did what I could so I must be happy with it. I struggled a bit to keep the car in the line and keep the speed in some corners.
04. 08. 2023 15:44
04. 08. 2023 14:44 CET 		3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I felt I was a bit careful in a few places but the penalty is massive with it being such high-speed all the time. You can always overdrive in here, I clearly didn't overdrive enough.
04. 08. 2023 15:43
04. 08. 2023 14:43 CET 		3 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was a nice stage, first time I have done it like this. A fast stage for sure but it was good fun. There is some cleaning in some places but we could not have done much more. It was a good run.

04. 08. 2023 14:42 CET 		2 flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): The time is much better than I thought because I was left-foot braking in some places! In some places you have very good grip and some places not so good. I am understanding the limits of the car but it's actually really nice to drive, it's very nice to be in Rally Finland!
04. 08. 2023 15:42
04. 08. 2023 14:42 CET 		2 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): The target is to improve the driving. It was my first time in a proper car here so I think I can take some seconds off. The speed is quite crazy!
04. 08. 2023 15:42
04. 08. 2023 14:42 CET 		2 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was okay. Quite difficult with the grip but it's okay.
04. 08. 2023 15:42
04. 08. 2023 14:42 CET 		2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The car is good, I can enjoy with the car. I didn't do maximum push, just a normal push with no problems. The team did a very good job to prepare this car so I will try to prove that with my result.
04. 08. 2023 15:41
04. 08. 2023 14:41 CET 		2 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): At the beginning, the grip is very high in places. I was just too safe basically everywhere in the beginning. I didn't really trust that there was that much grip and then when the surface changed there was no grip. The second part of the stage is really slippery.
04. 08. 2023 15:41
04. 08. 2023 14:41 CET 		2 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I am surprised. A bit of a struggle through there so I came through as smoothly as I could but I am not able to load the car at the moment. It seems difficult at the moment.
04. 08. 2023 15:41
04. 08. 2023 14:41 CET 		2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): My pace notes were a bit slow in the beginning but after two or three kilometres I got into the rhythm and it got a bit better.
04. 08. 2023 15:41
04. 08. 2023 14:41 CET 		2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm a bit surprised by the time to be honest, it was a bit steady from me in a few places and not always perfect.
04. 08. 2023 15:41
04. 08. 2023 14:41 CET 		2 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It should be better than dry. Quite slippy conditions, the grip is not so good, so definitely not so easy.

03. 08. 2023 22:27 CET 		1 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): The kerb was not so bad, it was quite small so I knew it was not a bad hit. An amazing feeling - I can almost hear the people from inside of the car, I know how loud it is. It feels so amazing in the car when you know the atmosphere is so great.
03. 08. 2023 23:27
03. 08. 2023 22:27 CET 		1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's going to be obviously pretty fast-paced from the beginning. We know how this rally is and we're looking forward to it. Let's see what's possible.
03. 08. 2023 23:27
03. 08. 2023 22:27 CET 		1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are looking forward. It's a good way to kick it off tonight with such a nice stage in the city centre with lots of spectators. I hope that Jari-Matti is going to enjoy his weekend - we all know how much he loves to drive. It's a great opportunity and I am sure I would be very happy in the future if I got an opportunity like that after retirement.

03. 08. 2023 22:26 CET 		1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We will try, we will put all in. Let's see where it gets us. The ones we are fighting are very strong obviously - we need to put everything on the line.

03. 08. 2023 22:26 CET 		1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): My family and friends are here and I have seen many people that I see in normal life. It's very nice to be here and tomorrow is going to be very challenging. I will try to push.

03. 08. 2023 22:26 CET 		1 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was a good one, I tried to do a clean run.

03. 08. 2023 22:25 CET 		1 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It's super to be back here. The cars are just incredible, a lot of power and the aero is crazy. I am really enjoying driving this car but unfortunately the first stage was not the best for us. It was okay but nothing more.

03. 08. 2023 22:25 CET 		1 flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): Back in 2003, 20 years ago at my first WRC rally in Finland, I was so nervous that I was losing my eyesight before the stage! I was calm [now], Juho was controlling me and we had fun!

03. 08. 2023 12:24 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): It's great to be back, I have really enjoyed the week and getting into the car is a fantastic feeling. Over the jumps, really good. I had a little exercise at the end of the stage - a right-hander was a little bit slippier than I thought and I got a bit of a slide!
03. 08. 2023 13:23
03. 08. 2023 12:23 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): The target is of course to increase the speed, but I couldn't do it on this stage. The downforce is crazy! I need to get used to it and improve my driving.
03. 08. 2023 13:23
03. 08. 2023 12:23 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): I missed a junction; I was too fast in the right-hander before so I lost some time. Without that it would have been good.
03. 08. 2023 13:23
03. 08. 2023 12:23 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): This is my 'second' home rally so I want to perform well but it will be challenging for sure. I want to enjoy the stages.
03. 08. 2023 13:23
03. 08. 2023 12:23 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's good, for sure. It is always good before this event but I really would like to win and we will do everything we can.
03. 08. 2023 13:22
03. 08. 2023 12:22 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We will try, for sure. Let's see. The car is living its own life already... some electrical stuff.
03. 08. 2023 13:22
03. 08. 2023 12:22 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's going to be a challenging event. I don't know how the weather is going to be, the stages look fantastic and quite clean but the grip could be changeable so we need to find good confidence in the car. The target is definitely to fight for another podium.
03. 08. 2023 13:22
03. 08. 2023 12:22 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's going to be fast, as always. We got some wet weather during the week and it looks like we'll get some more over the weekend, so let's see how that changes things. I think the rain can only help.
03. 08. 2023 13:22
03. 08. 2023 12:22 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Not maybe pressure but of course there is more will to try to win it. Definitely it is not going to be easy from first on the road, but that's our target - to try to push for the win of course but still have a good rally to score some good points for the season.
