INFORMATION ABOUT SS 3
(26 - Chwist Daniel / Heller Kamil): was out of road
(38 - Imai Satoshi / Farmer Jason): accident in SS 3
(29 - Yamamoto Yuki / Salminen Marko): Very wide section, missed the information in one place and spun and hit a fence in one side. Need to look at the situation. Unfortunate I spun.
(25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): There was a braking, we had damp, so slippery and I lost the rear and hit the corner.
(29 - Yamamoto Yuki / Salminen Marko): was out of road
(24 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): It was okay, find different things with tyres but there is a long way to go. I think I'll look at the times whenever I know I'm going quick.
(25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): was out of road
(22 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): We stopped the engine, after that I was too late on the braking and stopped the engine. When I started again, we have no power. Completely zero. Like 100hp. We were going slowly till the finish.
(23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): I just passed Kajto, that is it, I didn't see anything. When there is grip there is big grip but when it is slippery you need to change the mind.
(22 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): was out of road
(21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Maybe Pajari is like me, speaking too much in interviews! I managed okay, a little bit scary. I think the tyre choice is good, but the grip is quite surprising. In some places it seems like people are touching the grass and going out on the road. I think we need to be more confident. Still it is nice, but I need small things to change.
(20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Somehow quite close to the end, I didn't feel any hits. Last section is so smooth, I didn't take any hits. We just need to keep pushing, it is not making it any easier.
(22 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): technical issues
(20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): puncture
(9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): Tricky conditions, a lot easier than the first one, but still they are coming with surprising moments. Some corners are good, some are bad. Be ready for something to be around the corner, it is very difficult.
(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): The final part is really twisty, really slow, low speed and with the soft tyre it is not working. I should have trusted my gut a bit more from the video of the gravel crew. It's all part of learning.
(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Just need to get through. Just follow the plan as we planned before, nothing has changed. Much quicker than the previous stage, much more happening.
(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We had a clean stage, quite slippery in some corners still. I am losing the brakes in the stage so it is not easy, but I don't know how it is for the others. Last part is very twisty.
(17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I don't know what to do at the moment. Speechless honestly. This section is definitely not my section, in the forest, we had a puncture two years ago in the same area. Not easy to find motivation. Doesn't look so good at the moment.
(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It doesn't seem to get a lot easier, a few slides in the beginning. Very difficult to read the grip, it's mostly dry. You only need a little bit of humidity in some places and very little grip, but in some places you see humidity and there is a lot of grip.
(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Definitely much more consistent but a bit tricky with understeer. Balance could be better but okay, so far so good.
(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Obviously we said in the beginning of the event, we said we would be continuous with our speed. We didn't expect such a big gap at the end of the first stage. Just try to get through here.
Start of stage will be delayed for 8 minutes.
