INFORMATION ABOUT SS 16
retired (44 - Shinkai Tomoyuki / Ando Yuichi): retired after SS 16
flash info (35 - Nutahara Fumio / Azuma Shungo): Hard stage, but I am happier to come back here. Still fighting!
flash info (28 - Boland Eamonn / "MJ" ..): Today was tricky enough, especially the early morning, but the afternoon was okay.
flash info (36 - Kogure Hikaru / Luhtinen Topi): It's amazing atmosphere all the time, there are a lot of fans and it is cold weather now, so take care! I'm going to focus on tomorrow and do much better driving tomorrow.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's been a challenging rally, every year it always surprises. Extremely demanding but one more day to go. Our job is unfinished, we need to finish the job and bring all the points that are on the table.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's still a long day tomorrow, let's see. I am looking forward that is for sure. It has been a long, tough season so far. It hasn't been easy this weekend. We fought back into the points, so let's see what we can do.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It will be an exciting day tomorrow, it will all count. Looking forward to the day, going to enjoy it and have fun with it and enjoy the battle. On one side we're excited, but looking forward to the break on the other.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): That is cool to drive, lot of people there. Final day of the season tomorrow, try to do our best to bring a good result for the team.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): If something is going on in the stadium with the lights, we need to use light pods. Good day.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Again? That is good. Twice next to Séb, really nice atmosphere, really nice stage. It's good to fight so I am happy. We need to fight for it tomorrow.
flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We are really happy, yesterday we were struggling but we had a discussion with the engineer and were able to make the right choice. Then we had second fastest, third fastest time. Hopefully we can continue tomorrow morning. There is an advantage with the road position because there is a middle section that is really dirty. I have no specific objective, I want to finish the rally. Same approach as the last two ones.
flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Good day, kept it in our control, no risk at all. Second pass was nice. Also some information to the drivers behind, the roundabout is really slippery. Maybe this will help someone.
flash info (23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): It has been a difficult day to be honest, as said before there was a problem this morning, we fixed it but it has been difficult to find the pace. We couldn't find it on this one, Kajto won it. Tomorrow, we will see.
flash info (22 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): It was better than the first one, definitely. I almost stuck the engine from the start, but it was a good day. We are happy to be here. Little bit tired, but we can do two or three more stages in the night. I like it in the night.
flash info (30 - Ingram Chris / Kihurani Alexander): I think he had a jump start! We just want to enjoy it, been a tough day at the office, so just good to have a few skids.
flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was a nice run, a lot more grip than the first time around. The Škoda is working well... that's two wins in a row isn't it?
flash info (26 - Chwist Daniel / Heller Kamil): It is amazing, we enjoy it a lot. Much more people than two days ago so we tried to put on a show. I hope it went well.
flash info (31 - Arai Hiroki / Matsuo Shunsuke): Everything is going well, struggling a little bit with the setup and grip wise but overall it is a learning procedure.
flash info (32 - Kovalainen Heikki / Kitagawa Sae): I don't want to jinx it but he might be crowned world champion tomorrow and it is always nice to beat a world champion. This kind of stage is easier for myself when you don't need any pace notes and you remember everything, it is more like circuit racing. It's been an okay day.
flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): The day was quite nice, really consistent driving I would say. Car is working really fine. I have been trying to take it nice and easy.
