Date and time SS Information
13. 10. 2024 16:58 CET 14 flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It feels great! The longest 11km of my life! I want to thank everybody it was an incredible journey, we started from Rally5, the Rally4, then Rally2 last year. I would like to thank Virgi, she always looks after and listens to me. All the sponsors, all the team and especially MRF Tyres for believing in me. Thank you, grazia!
13. 10. 2024 16:58 CET 14 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Relief! A season of two halves, through determinatoion and grit the whole teram did it. Halfway through, we were all disheartened and we never gave up. Massive thanks to the team, great to have the whole team with us and the Kiwis with us. You take it a day at a time, but if this is our last European rally then it's a big thanks to all of our fans supporting us on the other side of the world, big thanks to everyone at home and the commentators and the broadcasters. We took this one off, we're gonna go and enjoy it now.
13. 10. 2024 16:57 CET 14 flash info (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): Sounds good, it's hard not to get emotional, me and Eoin have been trying really hard and it's good to see now we can do the pace. This stage doesn't suit me so well, to keep Miko behind is good and that was our target. Thanks to everyone supporting us, cheers to M-Sport and Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy, and Eoin on the notes.
13. 10. 2024 16:57 CET 14 flash info (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): I am happy that we are here, I did myt best on this stage, conditions are improving now. It wasn't a perfect season for sure, I struggled with my driving and confidence, but from the other side I was giving all my heart to this sport and I hope we will fight for this top position in the ERC, I would like to thank our partners and sponsors that we have the possibility to make our dreams come true.
13. 10. 2024 16:57 CET 14 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): I think the feeling is like all the end of the seasons, we have good points and bad points. Now we know which ones we need to work to be into the real fight in the championship for the future, if I have future I hope. I want to say thank you to everyone, I hope to see you soon.
13. 10. 2024 16:56 CET 14 flash info (7 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): I hope to see you next year, for sure I would like to but it is not easy for the French championship and the money. It was difficult, this afternoon was much better, the car was good all weekend. It was difficult for me but a good experience here, the bumoy stages are much better. It's all good.
13. 10. 2024 16:56 CET 14 flash info (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): This weekend was really nice for us, I told you I was happy to be here and finish the rally. We are second in the Polish championship, unfortunately we were leading then I crashed in my home round. Tactically, we were very good, we didn't have a chance to Marczyk to push him. But we were good for us, so thank you.
13. 10. 2024 16:56 CET 14 flash info (14 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): I am speechless! I don't know what to say. I want to thank all my partners! I don't know what to say no.
13. 10. 2024 16:55 CET 14 flash info (11 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): It was eventful, took a tiddle round that stage there. The boys are in some push at the front, looking forward to watching it to be honest.
13. 10. 2024 16:55 CET 14 flash info (16 - Byśkiniewicz Łukasz / Siatkowski Daniel): We didn't know how to count our tyres! I used too much medium, that's why I did the whole loop with a slick, all the time on the right corners drifting. The last loop was just to stay on the road in one piece. We had good moments on this rally, especially on the first day when we were seventh but after that we had issues with setup and tyre choice.
13. 10. 2024 16:54 CET 14 flash info (10 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): We like it, this is a Power Stage in the Polish championship and like I said before, we setup for these conditions so we are happy.
13. 10. 2024 16:54 CET 14 flash info (12 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): I am feeling okay, I locked the wheel, if it is not us maybe it is the next guy. I was really cautious, I braked and lost everything. We lost more time because we do not know how to exit the middle. We do not want more issues with the car so we just get to the finish and we have winter to prepare for next year, so thank you.
13. 10. 2024 16:54 CET 14 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): It was a really nice rally, but really hard for us. Some optimistic stage times and speed times, but some mistakes from my side starting from the third stage. Some wet conditions, some dry conditions, but really positive.
13. 10. 2024 16:53 CET 14 flash info (25 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): I'm really looking forward to the Junior WRC, now we got some kilometres in the Rally3. Really looking forward to it and a lot of learning this year.
13. 10. 2024 16:52 CET 14 (12 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): was out of road
13. 10. 2024 16:52 CET 14 Stage is mostly wet, but it is not raining, sun is shining.
13. 10. 2024 15:59 CET 14 Starting order: Johansson, Molle, Matulka, Koltun, Byskiniewicz, Allen, Gabrys, Szeja, Grzyb, Bonato, Franceschi, Marczyk, Armstrong, Paddon, Mabellini
13. 10. 2024 14:57 CET 13 (21 - Kurka Tomáš / Vajík Karel): was out of road
13. 10. 2024 14:55 CET 13 flash info (12 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): I want to go through to do all stages, one more to go. A difficult weekend, a learning experience. This is why I came through and went back to the FIA ERC this season. Now we have some data to work on for the winter.
13. 10. 2024 14:54 CET 13 flash info (25 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): I felt like I was doing drifting instead of rallying. I don't know about the time, it looks quite close to the Rally2s. It felt good.
13. 10. 2024 14:54 CET 13 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We had an adventure in this stage, second corner went off wide in. a bank. Pretty much got bellied. Couple kilometres on we went straight on a junction, had to go round and come back. Tricky conditions.
13. 10. 2024 14:54 CET 13 (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): missed junction
13. 10. 2024 14:53 CET 13 (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): was out of road
13. 10. 2024 14:53 CET 13 flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): We had a small mistake in a junction, I locked up a bit. I went a little bit too long in this junction, we lost a bit but not too much. The pace was okay in this one - now one to go.
13. 10. 2024 14:52 CET 13 flash info (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): 3.8sec, it means we are both in the game. Unfortunately at least 6km from the start we had action, I did not recognise from the braking, we went off. This is why it was 7sec. We have the Power Stage ahead, change of the weather. We will try.
13. 10. 2024 14:52 CET 13 (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): was out of road
13. 10. 2024 14:51 CET 13 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): I am waiting too much, like I said in the previous stage I have no experience in wet tyres. I drive quickly, every kilometre I have information.
13. 10. 2024 14:51 CET 13 flash info (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): This stage we drove very slowly, very careful. The road is very muddy and slippery. We had big rain on the middle of the stage. We don't have a chance to be faster than the guys behind us. We just focus on Polish championship now I think.
13. 10. 2024 14:50 CET 13 flash info (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): Compared to Ireland, it is a bit more bumpy. Not a bad run through, just trying to read the condition and the grip. We need to do better than the first time in the Power Stage.
13. 10. 2024 14:50 CET 13 flash info (7 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): It was so, so difficult. Incredibly slippery, exactly the same when you are on slick tyres. It is like ice! You are too slow, you lose grip. This one was very difficult, I have never done a stage like that.
13. 10. 2024 14:50 CET 13 flash info (14 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): There are some places with corners where it is like a surprise, you are going in the corners mad, so you have to be very careful.
13. 10. 2024 14:50 CET 13 flash info (16 - Byśkiniewicz Łukasz / Siatkowski Daniel): It was terrible stage for us, we have only three wet tyres, one slick and all the time the same problems! Conditions are very tricky, lots of mud and a big shower on the last 3km.
13. 10. 2024 14:49 CET 13 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): At the end there were leaves on the road, it was really low speed but I couldn't stop the car. I enjoyed the driving, it was really good.
13. 10. 2024 14:49 CET 13 flash info (10 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): Very slippery. Before the stage, some rain. Quite slippery, but nice.
13. 10. 2024 14:49 CET 13 flash info (11 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): I don't understamd the wet tyres so much, first time I ever drove in this. Drove on the notes, braking early. It was grand.
13. 10. 2024 14:48 CET 13 flash info (18 - Krotoszyński Piotr / Martynek Mateusz): There are always moments in this weather, it was quite easy. I don't push because I want to get on at the minute.
13. 10. 2024 14:48 CET 13 flash info Kajto (0): It is difficult! The grip is changing all the time, the rain is there, the standing water in the ruts. Slippy tarmac in some places, it is difficult to read the road. Some people are standing in the incorrect place and I stopped and said to them we need to be clever.
13. 10. 2024 14:47 CET 12 retired (33 - Tochowicz Michał / Białowąs Piotr): accident in SS 12
13. 10. 2024 14:46 CET 12 flash info (12 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): We have a good team, they are honest to help us make a better season. The time is ok, I went straight and lost a lot. When I saw the gap, it is working. It is tricky for everybody. There is some places with a lot of grip and some places without.
13. 10. 2024 14:46 CET 12 flash info (25 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): For sure it is better than the Rally4 with the 4WD, first stage with rain in this car. Still a lot to learn on this point. A good stage, but wet.
13. 10. 2024 14:45 CET 12 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We're all taking a lot of caution. The grip is changing all the time, sometimes the grip is okay, sometimes you're on ice. You can't read that, or at least it is difficult to read. We have a couple of slicks.
13. 10. 2024 14:45 CET 12 flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It's very slippery, you miss a lot of grip there. It's a game between staying on the road, not making mistakes. Two more to go.
13. 10. 2024 14:45 CET 12 flash info (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It's okay. Still two long stages to go, now was fully wet. The next one will be mainly wet, the Power Stage will be mixed conditions. Everything could happen here.
13. 10. 2024 14:44 CET 12 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): The grip changed again and again. There was a lot of mud on the road, I prefer to follow the line. Nothing special, it is my first real time with wet tyres on Rally2.
13. 10. 2024 14:44 CET 12 flash info (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): We don't turn to the left corner, we went straight and had to go back. We lost almost 15 s.
13. 10. 2024 14:44 CET 12 (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): missed junction
13. 10. 2024 14:43 CET 12 flash info (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): Much better now we have some wet tyres on, much easier. I had a slight overshoot near the end, lost a bit of time there. Much better to see what the time is, we'll see what happens in the end.
13. 10. 2024 14:43 CET 12 flash info (7 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): I just take my finger off my bottom and it is better now.
13. 10. 2024 14:43 CET 12 flash info (16 - Byśkiniewicz Łukasz / Siatkowski Daniel): Amazing finish of this rally, now we have three wet tyres, but we have one slick medium and on the right corners I have to be very slow! But on the left I have a slide. I have to be safe!
13. 10. 2024 14:42 CET 12 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): The feeling was quite okay, but we overshot the junction. We lost about 10 s maybe. It was the first proper mistake in this car, so it was okay.
13. 10. 2024 14:42 CET 12 flash info (10 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): Big fun, really nice feeling. Stage is completely wet, but it does not rain anymore. Good fun for everybody.
13. 10. 2024 14:42 CET 12 flash info (11 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): Good experience, I wasn't the cleanest in there, I think we'll lose 15-18 in there.
13. 10. 2024 12:01 CET 11 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's pretty stressful, we're trying to play the safe game, fair play to Mabellini as he's doing a great job. It's hard to get the right tyre choice, it's a joint team decision between all three (Paddon, Pirelli, BRC), but we're mostly on the same page.
13. 10. 2024 12:01 CET 11 flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): The cross pattern is working, it worked in Ceredigion. I had a clean run, no issues, no big dramas. Just a small mistake at the end, on the junction with the bridge we were close to the barrier at the end, but it is okay.
13. 10. 2024 12:00 CET 11 flash info (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was possible to drive faster but the conditions here are changing very fast, it was windy. Every pass should be faster. I'm not sure about Paddon's tyre condition but for us was a good run. It was 70 percent dry.
13. 10. 2024 12:00 CET 11 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): In my dream, I want to say I want to have less time. There are some fast drivers behind. We have the super soft cross. It;s nice, but sometimes the grip is really well, then sometimes I don't know. It is always good to have a not bad time.
13. 10. 2024 12:00 CET 11 flash info (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): Disaster. Complete disaster, we are on medium tyres and then also softs. The time is not bad, I thought I'd lose minutes and more, but it is just seconds.
13. 10. 2024 11:58 CET 11 flash info (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): We were almost off about four or five times to be honest, some places you get into the rhythm and then in the braking point you can go wide. We had a cross of the harder and softer tyre, so it was that maybe.
13. 10. 2024 11:57 CET 11 flash info (7 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): Welcome to Monte Carlo, no? We were with two medium and two super soft. We were too careful but the grip was not so bad.
13. 10. 2024 11:57 CET 11 flash info (14 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): It was terrible! I couldn't find any grip on this tyre, I didn't want to risk anything. It was terrible.
13. 10. 2024 11:57 CET 11 flash info (16 - Byśkiniewicz Łukasz / Siatkowski Daniel): Oh my god, the start was delayed. The tyres are cokpletely cold, there was big rain, there was a lot of water on the stage and on the slick tyres it was terrible!
13. 10. 2024 11:56 CET 11 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): It was really hard, the whole stage was wet or damp. I couldn't get any grip so were really slow.
13. 10. 2024 11:56 CET 11 flash info (10 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): It is still on the stage, slight rain. We think rain will come back stronger, extremely slippery and tricky.
13. 10. 2024 11:56 CET 11 flash info (11 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): End of the bridge, the brake locked up and we went a back way. very slippery. I didn't take any other tyre other than the medium slicks. We'll go again next loop and see what can work for us.
13. 10. 2024 11:56 CET 11 (11 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): spun
13. 10. 2024 11:55 CET 11 flash info (18 - Krotoszyński Piotr / Martynek Mateusz): Very slippery, we changed two tyres before the start, but I had some moments that could be 'finished'.
13. 10. 2024 11:54 CET 11 On the stage there is mixture of dry, damp and wet roads.
13. 10. 2024 10:40 CET 10 flash info (12 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): I clipped the bale in the chicane, it's easy to touch. No drama, a good stage I think. I tried to do some stuff. Some payoff, some I need to modify but okay, onto the next one.
13. 10. 2024 10:39 CET 10 flash info (25 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): I think it was better for us, better rhythm now. Very tricky stage, very bumpy. very hard to see braking points and corner speed. The car is still shaking everywhere on the road, you feel like you are on the limit but you feel like you can go faster.
13. 10. 2024 10:36 CET 10 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): No point overthinking things, it is very bumpy and weather is on the edge. A few seconds here won't make a difference if the weather comes, we won't see such big margins on these stages. We want dry weather.
13. 10. 2024 10:36 CET 10 flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): The most difficult of the rally, very bumpy. It feels like Barum rally. Clean run, no issues, I think the time is okay.
13. 10. 2024 10:31 CET 10 flash info (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Armstrong has proper confidence about the braking on the very bumpy places, congrats to him. We have four stages to go, we should keep our strategy and do our best.
13. 10. 2024 10:31 CET 10 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): To be honest I don't see the fight, I try to find speed and yesterday we were too hard with the setup, now too soft. It is not only the setup, I think it is between the steering wheel and the seat. I try to enjoy the last few stages.
13. 10. 2024 10:31 CET 10 flash info (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): That was a very bad stage for me, I didn't push on a few important places. On bumpy sections the car would not stop moving and we had a very top speed. My drive was not good.
13. 10. 2024 10:25 CET 10 flash info (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): We're trying to get ahead of Marczyk. The first stage this morning went well, this one went quite well, little bumpy and you have to be careful on the braking points.
13. 10. 2024 10:24 CET 10 flash info (7 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): The first time a stage is bumpy like this, I drove for 20 years now and I never did a special stage like that. It is fun, but it is dangerous as well.
13. 10. 2024 10:20 CET 10 flash info (14 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): I am okay, we are doing what we planned. No risk, don't make any trouble and go straight to the finish. That's all.
13. 10. 2024 10:20 CET 10 flash info (16 - Byśkiniewicz Łukasz / Siatkowski Daniel): It was an amazing stage! The most bumpy stage ever. Amazing! I had good settings on this condition, it was too soft on the previous but on this I had different settings. It was a good run for us.
13. 10. 2024 10:16 CET 10 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): I will try to keep Allen behind, the focus is to get a good feeling and enjoy. I think we had a good stage and he is only 5.3 s quicker, so that is a good time.
13. 10. 2024 10:13 CET 10 flash info (10 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): We are still suffering, on the slight rain. We have setup for rain, so it is what it is.
13. 10. 2024 10:10 CET 10 flash info (11 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): We're not really in a battle, [tyres] doesn't really matter to us. that stage was really nice, it'd be nice if you were six or seven cars in. Not a lot of grip, but really nice.
13. 10. 2024 10:08 CET 10 flash info (18 - Krotoszyński Piotr / Martynek Mateusz): There was stable [weather], some little drops on the windshield but it was dry.
13. 10. 2024 10:05 CET 10 flash info Kajto (0): It's an open area, the wind is changing, it is easy to feel it. It is a fantastic stage, it is the first stage I ever did. And we crashed here. Fiat 126, four times we rolled it! This time was better. Also suspension is better.
13. 10. 2024 09:36 CET 9 flash info (12 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): Since yesterday we saw the weather is changing a lot, so we got a safe package with a heavy compound. For now, a good choice to go, let's see what the weather is doing.
13. 10. 2024 09:36 CET 9 flash info (25 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): It wasn't my best stage to be honest, very tricky with the braking points. Struggling with the pace notes there.
13. 10. 2024 09:33 CET 9 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Covering what everyone else is doing, a few have put rain [compound tyres] in, it's just in case.
13. 10. 2024 09:31 CET 9 flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It was okay, we had a clean run, nice rhythm, see what Mr Paddon can do. It is not the weather we were expecting this morning. It's okay, let's see for the next one.
13. 10. 2024 09:30 CET 9 flash info (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was okay, we could be a bit more consistent on the brakings, in some moments I was on the limit, in others a little too early, but it is the first stage.
13. 10. 2024 09:26 CET 9 retired (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): accident in SS 9
13. 10. 2024 09:26 CET 9 flash info (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): My feeling was not good today, the stage was very difficult and new completely for us. Many places felt very dangerous. We kept the speed in the car not outside. For sure, our day was not good.
13. 10. 2024 09:25 CET 9 flash info (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): I had a roll and a big pretzel thing for breakfast, maybe that's the secret. Let's see what the guys behind do. Always good to know what your rhythm is early in the morning.
13. 10. 2024 09:24 CET 9 flash info (7 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): The grip was very high, more than what I expected in the recce. I was too slow in these conditions. The colour of the Tarmac is the same as yesterday but the grip is the same. I was too slow. Disaster!
13. 10. 2024 09:24 CET 9 flash info (14 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): I don't believe that pushing is the way, we do nothing special, we just ride, enjoy and think about the Polish championship.
13. 10. 2024 09:15 CET 9 flash info (16 - Byśkiniewicz Łukasz / Siatkowski Daniel): It was a good run, but I am not happy with my settings. The suspension is too soft, we made some changes in the morning and now it is too soft!
13. 10. 2024 09:12 CET 9 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): We had some discussions, we were expecting some rain on the first loop and some on the second loop, but it can change quite quickly here. It was fun, I tried to be clean so let's see what the time will be.
13. 10. 2024 09:10 CET 9 flash info (10 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): Good. We took a safe tyre choice and took setup for expecting rain. We will see what is going on later.
13. 10. 2024 09:10 CET 9 flash info (11 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): Grand. It's kinda nervous being this far up, we're normally at the back of the pack so you can see where they're braking. Probably a bit conservative.
13. 10. 2024 09:09 CET 9 flash info (18 - Krotoszyński Piotr / Martynek Mateusz): Today, is the first time in my life to be first. we had a mistake on the chicane, I had to put it in reverse. That time is bad.
13. 10. 2024 09:04 CET 9 (18 - Krotoszyński Piotr / Martynek Mateusz): stalled in chicane
13. 10. 2024 08:59 CET 9 Weather in Silesia is sunny, temperature around 8°C, roads are dry.
12. 10. 2024 20:12 CET 8 flash info (11 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): I haven't scratched it yet, hopefully it will bring more luck tomorrow! A good day, a few mistakes on my behalf, but some positives as well. It's been eventful.
12. 10. 2024 20:09 CET 8 flash info (20 - Chwist Daniel / Heller Kamil): I had a lot of fun all day long, the weather was good to enjoy it.
12. 10. 2024 20:08 CET 8 flash info (12 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): Always ready! We have a second one there, that's why we are so fast.
12. 10. 2024 20:08 CET 8 flash info (18 - Krotoszyński Piotr / Martynek Mateusz): I enjoyed the day very much. This is my start in this car, I am learning. Maybe one day I will be better!
12. 10. 2024 20:07 CET 8 flash info (19 - Kwiatkowski Rafał / Kozdroń Kamil): Good that car is safe. What can I say? It wasn't my best day. I hope tomorrow will be much better, the last one I did a lot better. I don't think it will rain.
12. 10. 2024 20:05 CET 8 flash info (16 - Byśkiniewicz Łukasz / Siatkowski Daniel): I like this stage, the grip was quite good, we had good fun, a lot of spectators and it was good fun. I tried to win it, but there we go!
12. 10. 2024 20:05 CET 8 flash info (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): All day was great. We drive really good, first time where it is a tough rally with this car. OK, I am an old guy with experience but you need time to be super fast on new car and then I have to compare with the best in Europe. I hope I will be so fast tomorrow. That will be great.
12. 10. 2024 20:04 CET 8 flash info (10 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): Of course, it's good. Like everybody who is coming here, we have to remain focussed on tomorrow's stages because some rain is expected. But we are happy.
12. 10. 2024 20:04 CET 8 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): From my side, it was a really hard day, the second stage of the first loop was really hard, we lost a lot of time and then on the second loop we tried really hard but couldn't get a good feeling, I hope tomorrow is a better day for us.
12. 10. 2024 20:04 CET 8 flash info (14 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): All day was perfect for us, we are completing our plan for Polish championship. Normally there is two modes - road mode and stage mode. We have a third one, it is only us competing for Polish championship.
12. 10. 2024 20:03 CET 8 flash info (7 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): Physiotherapist is in the service park, you can ask the Roman Kresta team! It hurt for a small time, two or three minutes, now it is getting better. I came back this afternoon with a new back!
12. 10. 2024 20:02 CET 8 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): I like the stages in Poland, it is a nice country for me for racing. I had my first win in the Junior WRC, the atmosphere is so nice, so many fans round the stages. Everyone likes rally, so it's nice for me to be here and racing with them. Tomorrow, we'd like to have a good day also and enjoy the stages.
12. 10. 2024 20:00 CET 8 flash info (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): It's been quite a good year, we wanted to be closer but we're getting there slowly which is good. Today has been nice for the pace, obviously we had issues which is a shame for that. It's been a good rally, good stages with the fans. Let's see what tomorrow brings for the weather.
12. 10. 2024 20:00 CET 8 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I don't like to preempt things too much, it's been a season of two halves and we were certainly scratching our heads on the first half of the season. We've had a very good second half and that's down to a lot of people. At the end of the day, I love doing what I'm doing and I am very lucky to drive this car.
12. 10. 2024 19:59 CET 8 flash info (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We were ten or fifteen meters far from the barrel, on the hard tyre it was not easy. I was trying to be precise, it was possible to drive much faster, some guys behind us will do a better job. For sure it will be harder to fight with Mabellini. Another day, another chance and we will fight to the end of this FIA ERC.
12. 10. 2024 19:59 CET 8 flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It was a great day, on this one I pulled the lever too early, I lost time exiting the hairpin. It's a great day, tomorrow will be another day. It seems like the weather forecast is not as today, so let's see for the tyre strategy.
12. 10. 2024 19:59 CET 8 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Feels strange. It finishes tomorrow, it was a long season, we tried to enjoy again for the final stages tomorrow. That's all.
12. 10. 2024 18:05 CET 7 Stage is cancelled.
12. 10. 2024 17:56 CET 7 Stage is stopped because car st.no. 8 is blocking the road.
12. 10. 2024 17:56 CET 7 retired (8 - Evans Meirion / Jackson Jonathan): accident in SS 7
12. 10. 2024 17:56 CET 7 flash info (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): I don't know where I lose the time on this stage, now I go very fast. I don't have many corners where I do a big mistake or brake too early.
12. 10. 2024 17:55 CET 7 flash info (17 - Gabryś Zbigniew / Syty Damian): We have problems with pop-off. It opened three times on this stage.
12. 10. 2024 17:47 CET 7 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): Like I said before, for the previous stages, we changed the setup a lot. Before we made a mistake, it was my fault as I didn't concentrate enough. Now it is much better.
12. 10. 2024 17:45 CET 7 flash info (14 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): For us it was better than the first loop, we have had normal stages, now super special. We are controlling the Polish championship. Everything is okay.
12. 10. 2024 17:45 CET 7 flash info (7 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): I did not have lights, I do not need it. I am a cat! I can see in the night!
12. 10. 2024 17:44 CET 7 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): I am happy to be here, driving this car. We are enjoying it a lot. I feel we can improve, this stage was really nice. Tomorrow will be a totally different day, we have the possibility of rain. It depends a lot on what happens with the rain but it we will have some fun in the super special stage.
12. 10. 2024 17:43 CET 7 flash info (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): Really good push through there again, difficult to do a stage so well again when you've done it well in the morning. It's nice to see that stage time, let's keep going this way and see where we get to.
12. 10. 2024 17:42 CET 7 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Good, clean run. Enjoying the driving. I sound like a broken record but we're not pushing the limits at all, so it's good fun when you're driving.
12. 10. 2024 17:42 CET 7 flash info (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): This one we drove better, I was trying to push, we were on the hard tyre. It has been too much for the hard tyres, in the shadows it was quite cold. We are trying, it is a pity we lost more time on the short one. Still a city stage to go and tomorrow one more demanding day. It could be better but it is okay.
12. 10. 2024 17:41 CET 7 flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): There is a lamp pod, we have the lights for the last stage. It's OK, also in the middle of the forest was okay. I turned on the normal lights and it was okay, no problem.
12. 10. 2024 17:41 CET 7 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): The forest section will be better with lightpods but nothing special. We enjoyed the last stage, I think it is better with the setup and my driving.
12. 10. 2024 17:39 CET 6 flash info (11 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): I was a wee bit flamboyant in there, gave away a lot of time. I enjoyed it, it was grand. The hardship is out, I lost 40sec, but it was grand in there.
12. 10. 2024 17:38 CET 6 flash info (20 - Chwist Daniel / Heller Kamil): It is always nice, especially the gravel part which I like a lot. It is something else to Tarmac which I like. It's always fun.
12. 10. 2024 17:38 CET 6 flash info (12 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): I think it's like this for everybody, the more practice you have, the faster you will be. Every kilometre is important. I think I know what I have to adapt, I have to do some things. We have to build this step-by-step, for everybody it is the same.
12. 10. 2024 17:37 CET 6 flash info (18 - Krotoszyński Piotr / Martynek Mateusz): On this gravel section I went too wide but it doesn't matter. I am happy with the time as I am pushing more and more and I am learning the car. I don't have time to be tired. Everything is okay.
12. 10. 2024 17:37 CET 6 flash info (19 - Kwiatkowski Rafał / Kozdroń Kamil): I don't think there is a big difference between the first and second loop but for me it was okay, so no problems.
12. 10. 2024 17:36 CET 6 flash info (8 - Evans Meirion / Jackson Jonathan): Feeling is okay, just a bit too careful on the gravel to be honest. I was a bit too soft this afternoon maybe. One to go, we'll see for tomorrow.
12. 10. 2024 17:36 CET 6 flash info (16 - Byśkiniewicz Łukasz / Siatkowski Daniel): The condition this year is much better than previous, one year ago it was a bit more dry.
12. 10. 2024 17:35 CET 6 flash info (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): I try to be relaxed! When you hear very good you drive very good. We tried to push, but the fastest guys are better than us. I don't know what we can do better.
12. 10. 2024 17:34 CET 6 flash info (10 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): During the service we changed the setup and for sure it is much better. Before on the previous loop the car was too stiff. Now, it is a little bit better.
12. 10. 2024 17:34 CET 6 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): For sure we were more caurious, a bit chaotic beginning of the stage but after that okay. One more to go, then the city stage which we will try our best on.
12. 10. 2024 17:34 CET 6 flash info (14 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): We pushed on the third, we are pushing the top three, now we are controlling the time. We are going to finish the setup.
12. 10. 2024 17:33 CET 6 flash info (7 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): It's only me, the car is very good in this condition as well. It is difficult for me to know where is the grip, I tried to find it. I was too careful on the slippery parts. That's why I'm very slow. It is not bad but for sure we are very far from the top.
12. 10. 2024 17:33 CET 6 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It felt really good, I love the gravel but this time I made a small mistake. I saw so many people out there in the gravel, I wanted to make a big show, but I slid in the corner after I went too much. I lost maybe one second, maybe more. I enjoyed this stage, really difficult condition in places. Even with the anticuts, we are cutting more before. We had some fun and it is okay.
12. 10. 2024 17:32 CET 6 flash info (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): More of 'in-control' than this morning, there was no error or spin. It is going a lot better, based on now that I have more knowledge we can go ahead and do things. I made a couple of mistakes in there too so we can go a lot faster.
12. 10. 2024 17:31 CET 6 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I've got a car I can drive and it makes a big difference when everything clicks. I was saying to Kennard, everything works so much better when you're in harmony with the car. Now we've finally hit the nail on the head, took a while but it is better to drive.
12. 10. 2024 17:31 CET 6 flash info (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Now the gravel was much more grippy but we did not use it properly. These 4.0sec are not much here but our tyre choice will be good on the long stages. Here, the loss is too big.
12. 10. 2024 17:28 CET 6 flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It changed a bit, you have more grip in some parts but in others the dirt came off. We lost a bit at the end, we have one big stage to go and then the small one at the end. For the moment, the pace is really high.
12. 10. 2024 17:27 CET 6 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): It's a bit easy because the grip is better, especially on the gravel section as we are on the line and you can drive on tarmac. For sure you can drive behind the wheel so that is a good point, the rest I hope is coming soon.
12. 10. 2024 17:47 CET 5 retired (34 - Nowak Marek / Grzelka Adam): retired in SS 5
12. 10. 2024 17:46 CET 5 retired (23 - Ravenščak Martin / Ravenščak Dora): retired in SS 5
12. 10. 2024 17:25 CET 5 flash info (11 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): I forgot to turn the anti-lag on, hit the first corner and then off the road in fifth gear. The car feels awesome to drive now, but it is totally my fault. Silly mistake.
12. 10. 2024 16:03 CET 5 flash info (20 - Chwist Daniel / Heller Kamil): We try to improve on last time, we try to find the confidence. It should be better.
12. 10. 2024 16:01 CET 5 (11 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): was out of road
12. 10. 2024 16:00 CET 5 flash info (12 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): First we have to attack more, not the target this weekend. I have to work on some parts of the stage where we can increase the rhythm but I need to get used to the car, after Barum I take it step-by-step.
12. 10. 2024 15:58 CET 5 flash info (18 - Krotoszyński Piotr / Martynek Mateusz): I am not happy. It is a lot of wasting times, but I will try to go further and check the car.
12. 10. 2024 15:55 CET 5 flash info (19 - Kwiatkowski Rafał / Kozdroń Kamil): We are doing our best, trying to keep the pace or speed up. It is what it is today, maybe not my day. Hard to say.
12. 10. 2024 15:55 CET 5 flash info (8 - Evans Meirion / Jackson Jonathan): Time is not the best, it felt like we improved the car a bit but I probably need to extract a bit more from the car.
12. 10. 2024 15:55 CET 5 flash info (16 - Byśkiniewicz Łukasz / Siatkowski Daniel): A very good run for us, very stable conditions, we used our tyres as we can and it was a lot of fun.
12. 10. 2024 15:54 CET 5 flash info (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): Start was bad for me, on the very tightest corner I go out a little bit on the left rear, which is very muddy inside. The car was moving non-stop. We tried to push, we tried to drive.
12. 10. 2024 15:54 CET 5 flash info (10 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): We lost 10sec, we switched off. It's not easy in Poland.
12. 10. 2024 15:53 CET 5 (10 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): stalled engine on brakes
12. 10. 2024 15:51 CET 5 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): The conditions were better but the run itself wasn't too good. Let's go to the next one and see what we can do.
12. 10. 2024 15:50 CET 5 flash info (14 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): I think there is more grip now, harder tyres and our time is better than the previous. More compact, everything is going to plan.
12. 10. 2024 15:39 CET 5 flash info (7 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): I saw the physiotherapist, he was very good. He helped me with one finger! I am completely perfect now, thanks to him!
12. 10. 2024 15:39 CET 5 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It was a good run for us, we enjoy it, we changed a few things on the car. I felt my pace was not so good in the morning. The times are feeling better. The next loop, I hope we can drive better to be happier with myself.
12. 10. 2024 15:35 CET 5 flash info (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): It wasn't too bad, the first time through here we didn't get a clean run so not too bad. The guys are going really hard, so would've been nice to go a bit closer.
12. 10. 2024 15:35 CET 5 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Maybe I should give Poker a go! I think being clean and precise is probably key. I think when you start pushing, maybe with the extra tyre there's more weight. We're quite comfortable at the minute.
12. 10. 2024 15:35 CET 5 flash info (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Stage was okay for us, in some places I should be a little bit faster, in the second run we already know a lot about the stage. We did good choices, afternoon is quite hot, we have two stages to go and I think the pace should be a little bit closer than in the first loop.
12. 10. 2024 15:30 CET 5 flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): Never believe Hayden when he says he is taking it easy! He knows perfectly how to manage this kind of position. This morning, was the same he is pushing. We are the same as this morning, just keep going.
12. 10. 2024 15:28 CET 5 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): We changed almost everything on the car, just to test and we have more pleasure behind the wheel. It is better and the grip is now fine.
12. 10. 2024 13:49 CET 4 (28 - Polášek Daniel / Omelka Zdeněk): was out of road
12. 10. 2024 13:49 CET 4 (22 - Widłak Igor / Marczewski Michał): was out of road
12. 10. 2024 13:48 CET 4 All cars from Igor Widlak were delayed on the liaison due to crazy civilian who blocked the road.
12. 10. 2024 13:47 CET 4 flash info (11 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): I am just starting to get my confidence back, the two incidents are fine now. Just getting back into the groove a bit more now.
12. 10. 2024 13:47 CET 4 flash info (21 - Kurka Tomáš / Vajík Karel): Stage was crazy! It is very slippery. That's it.
12. 10. 2024 13:46 CET 4 (21 - Kurka Tomáš / Vajík Karel): was out of road
12. 10. 2024 13:45 CET 4 flash info (20 - Chwist Daniel / Heller Kamil): It was really nice to be back in the car after a long time, nice stages, we enjoy a lot. Really tricky and challenging, but we enjoy a lot.
12. 10. 2024 13:45 CET 4 flash info (12 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): It was fine, we tried to use the correct setup for the next loop. We had some trouble with the pace notes which we have to check out at the next service, but the first loop was okay.
12. 10. 2024 13:44 CET 4 flash info (18 - Krotoszyński Piotr / Martynek Mateusz): I am more happy in all kilometres that I am going forward. This is the second asphalt rally in my life, so I am happy I am here.
12. 10. 2024 13:44 CET 4 flash info (19 - Kwiatkowski Rafał / Kozdroń Kamil): Slippery. That's what I can say and that's my pace. I think it's much more slippery than it was last year.
12. 10. 2024 13:43 CET 4 flash info (8 - Evans Meirion / Jackson Jonathan): Not too bad, we lost a bit of faith halfway through that, the stages are not too bad though. Shame about the stall in the last one, but pretty solid.
12. 10. 2024 13:43 CET 4 flash info (16 - Byśkiniewicz Łukasz / Siatkowski Daniel): I'm happy with our performance, it is good. Now we are pushing but the time is not so good I think. We are in a goods fight, we are thinking about the Polish championship but it is nice to be in the middle of the European championship.
12. 10. 2024 13:43 CET 4 flash info (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): I am happy, this day was not the worst for me, I don't expect that it is so slippery. I don't expect so much braking on the tightest corners, we'll see.
12. 10. 2024 13:43 CET 4 flash info (10 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): Our times are quite steady, we are losing more than 1sec per kilometre to the winner. It is the first time I am driving like that, looks like we are looking for the grip.
12. 10. 2024 13:42 CET 4 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): The car feels okay we tried to do our best here, but I think I took it too careful. Now service, I will try to do my best in the second loop, the gap is quite big especially after the spin but we will try to keep focus.
12. 10. 2024 13:42 CET 4 flash info (14 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): Our tactic is perfect I think, we are looking for Marczyk and Grzyb as we are only watching the Polish championship. Our speed is good, we are just focusing.
12. 10. 2024 13:41 CET 4 flash info (7 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): I had a big impact on my back! I need a therapist.
12. 10. 2024 13:41 CET 4 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): I missed one brake and we went a bit wide in a junction. We had a medium compound in the front and soft on the rear so for sure it was fun, we had a lot of big slides. We need a different style of driving, but we are enjoying the stages. We are happy to be here and having fun here.
12. 10. 2024 13:41 CET 4 flash info (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): This last road is really slippery, we had a wide moment. This stage's grip was more predictable, at the end was quite slippery. Better feeling, shame about the last two stages. We can see now what the Fiesta can do in these conditions.
12. 10. 2024 13:40 CET 4 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I'm not putting the year's hard work behind us in the fight for a rally win, we're just playing it safe. It is tricky conditions though, you need some margin in these conditions. We carry extra weight with the spare tyre.
12. 10. 2024 13:40 CET 4 flash info (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): I am not happy about the off on the previous one, this one was also not perfect. I struggled a bit on the final feeling of the braking of the final few corners. Not perfect but we are here, the rally is still long and we will fight.
12. 10. 2024 13:40 CET 4 flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It seems everything is working this morning, it is. alittle bit easier. I struggled a bit at the end. We have had a good morning. We are happy for the moment, we go to the service and let's see for the afternoon.
12. 10. 2024 13:39 CET 4 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): It's still the same, maybe change the roll bar, I don't know to be honest. I have to think with my engineer, it is difficult as the grip changes a lot. In this condition, I am slow.
12. 10. 2024 13:38 CET 3 All cars from Johansson were delayed on liaison due to civil accident.
12. 10. 2024 10:36 CET 3 flash info (8 - Evans Meirion / Jackson Jonathan): We stalled on the brakes in the gravel section, I didn't realise it happened, I had no power steering. That's probably where the time went. In Wales we're used to driving on gravel in gravel tyres, the grip was nowhere near.
12. 10. 2024 10:36 CET 3 flash info (16 - Byśkiniewicz Łukasz / Siatkowski Daniel): The gravel was very slippery, because there was mud! It was like off-road, good for me is that I slowed down. There was a lot of things, bumpy section, wide section. Very nice stage to race in.
12. 10. 2024 10:36 CET 3 (8 - Evans Meirion / Jackson Jonathan): stalled engine
12. 10. 2024 10:35 CET 3 flash info (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): I am happy but it is a very difficult stage. Last year, I went very bad through this stage, it was the worst stage in my driving. Now, not bad but I see the places to improve and I will do better for the second loop.
12. 10. 2024 10:29 CET 3 flash info (10 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): That one was tricky, many places fine, others muddy. Unacceptable, slick. Hard stage.
12. 10. 2024 10:29 CET 3 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): At the end of the stage we had a small speed spin and we hit a tree. The car felt okay but we only drove about 0.11km.
12. 10. 2024 10:25 CET 3 flash info (14 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): It was with a couple tricky places. OK, safe pace and looking for the muddy places.
12. 10. 2024 10:23 CET 3 (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): was out of road
12. 10. 2024 10:23 CET 3 flash info (7 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): It was very muddy in some places, especially the gravel cut. There were a lot of corners with anticut. I was careful with the condition and the grip so I drove very slowly, but I will try my best after this one.
12. 10. 2024 10:23 CET 3 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): Gravel section is the best one! At least there you can easily read the situaton as in the gravel with slick tyres it is really slippery. We enjoyed the stage, we are trying to understand where to push. We lost a few seconds in some junctions, but we are here and enjoying.
12. 10. 2024 10:22 CET 3 flash info (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): It was going well at the start of the stage, a bit slippery coming off the gravel there. I had a couple of moments. Difficult to keep pushing, but we have to move.
12. 10. 2024 10:22 CET 3 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): There was a lot of gravel to begin with, it was a bit muddy. We have to be careful with tyres on these sections, just driving with caution. The time surprised me, have to keep a good rhythm. There is not a lot of grip so we're struggling with it.
12. 10. 2024 10:16 CET 3 flash info (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It's okay, unfortunately we have action on the final part of the gravel and it's good we were back on the road, on the finish we went off road and we are trying to come back.
12. 10. 2024 10:16 CET 3 (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): was out of road
12. 10. 2024 10:15 CET 3 (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): spun
12. 10. 2024 10:12 CET 3 flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It was okay, made a small mistake in the gravel part. Lost a bit of time but it is okay for the second run. Let's see for the others.
12. 10. 2024 10:11 CET 3 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): We changed something on the setup just before this stage but it is still difficult to find the grip on this setup, sometimes you have to make a choice and this was not a good choice. We have to try [to change more] because we cannot carry on like this.
12. 10. 2024 13:32 CET 2 (29 - Pesavento Davide / Zanella Flavio): was out of road
12. 10. 2024 09:49 CET 2 flash info (12 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): It was very slippery, we lost a little bit from sliding. We have to go through and get the mileage this weekend and focus for next year.
12. 10. 2024 09:43 CET 2 flash info (18 - Krotoszyński Piotr / Martynek Mateusz): The first half of the stage was very slippery then the grip was good. I was trying not to push so much because the rally is long for me. I am an old guy so I have to be on the finish.
12. 10. 2024 09:42 CET 2 flash info (19 - Kwiatkowski Rafał / Kozdroń Kamil): On the first right, tight 90 degree corner we hit a coil, we took it a lot in the left rear wheel. The car was bumpy, for the kilometres everything was shaking. Bad luck.
12. 10. 2024 09:42 CET 2 flash info (8 - Evans Meirion / Jackson Jonathan): Feels quite new! I felt I couldn't get a rhythm for the first half of the stage, think we'll get there just got to keep it clean. The times seem close enough.
12. 10. 2024 09:37 CET 2 flash info (16 - Byśkiniewicz Łukasz / Siatkowski Daniel): Really good, I was surprised by the grip, the spectators are enjoying.
12. 10. 2024 09:36 CET 2 flash info (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): I like this rally, but that was a lie. I don't feel comfortable on this rally, when I drive I am close to the other guys. We'll see.
12. 10. 2024 09:31 CET 2 flash info (17 - Gabryś Zbigniew / Syty Damian): It was ok run. But we were surprised it was so slippery.
12. 10. 2024 09:30 CET 2 flash info (10 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): Weather is beautiful, we have sun shining so I am a big fan. The stage is really nice at the beginning of the day so we are happy.
12. 10. 2024 09:28 CET 2 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): We went for the medium compound, it was quite slippery because of the temperature but it will improve throughout the day I think. After the night it was quite dirty on the road so it was really slippery in some places, but overall it was good.
12. 10. 2024 09:28 CET 2 flash info (14 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): We planned to have safe pace, control and go to the finish. Nothing happened, everything is okay. I think we have two soft tyres, we have to change it but it was a safe choice.
12. 10. 2024 09:24 CET 2 flash info (7 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): It was really not so bad, I just tried to feel for the grip. I think I know where there is grip, it is not easy. I am a bit slow but that is normal I think.
12. 10. 2024 09:22 CET 2 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It was a nice stage, we are getting used to it. I expected also to have a bit more grip. I was a bit too careful with the tyre choice, maybe the other drivers felt the lack of grip more because we are on a soft tyre. We are feeling good with the car and the soft tyre but even in places, the soft tyre is very slippery.
12. 10. 2024 09:20 CET 2 flash info (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): Some issue, don't know what it is, at 1km. Something came on the dash and we had no power. Not so good, let's see if we can go and fix it now.
12. 10. 2024 09:19 CET 2 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Surprised by the time, taking it easy through there for tomorrow. As I'm sure everyone is saying, there is no grip, I'm not sure if it's because the Tarmac is too cold or the tyres are too cold, but there is no grip. Much better than I expected.
12. 10. 2024 09:16 CET 2 flash info (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was okay, a lot of grip changes, very mixed surfaces. It was possible to push more in some places but I was doing my best for the morning and we can go for the next two stages.
12. 10. 2024 09:14 CET 2 flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It is difficult to find the grip, sometimes you have sometimes not. It is a good mood for the first race, let's see for the others now.
12. 10. 2024 09:11 CET 2 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Difficult, I am a bit too hard and we try too much.
12. 10. 2024 09:01 CET 2 Weather in Silesia is sunny, temperature is around 8°C, roads are dry.
11. 10. 2024 22:09 CET 1 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It wasn't the best run, I hooked up round the donuts, nice and clean. There's some nice stages, tricky stages but looking forward to getting our teeth into it and seeing how we go.
11. 10. 2024 22:08 CET 1 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Nice stage for the spectator, not the best in this but I enjoyed the donut and the real start is tomorrow.
11. 10. 2024 21:08 CET 1 flash info (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): I am faster? That's nice, hello Poland I am happy we are here on the ERC. It is demanding stage, normally I am quite good on these stages. Let's see, two fast guys behind.
11. 10. 2024 21:06 CET 1 flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): I really enjoyed it, I love doing donuts. We are really happy to be here, our car is still working so thanks to the team that fixed it in very fast time.
11. 10. 2024 21:04 CET 1 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It felt good, it was really nice and fun. I wanted to make the donuts in a proper way and I think I lost some seconds, but it was a good run for us. I enjoyed and feel good for the car. Tomorrow we start the rally, it was fun for us and we had a good run.
11. 10. 2024 21:04 CET 1 flash info (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): I think we need to have a good rhythm, see where we end up. I'd really like to get on the podium, I think that is quite achievable. I messed up the donut the second time round, the first was really good. Big attack in the morning.
11. 10. 2024 21:04 CET 1 flash info (7 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): Your lights are better than my lights! Your camera is not so bad, maybe I can ask your guy. The grip was quite good on this stage, it was fun.
11. 10. 2024 20:58 CET 1 flash info (8 - Evans Meirion / Jackson Jonathan): We damaged one wheel today already, just tried to be clean, we only recce'd on foot so we need to be clean.
11. 10. 2024 20:56 CET 1 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): It's amazing, this is my home rally, with Rally2 car on these kind of stages you can feel you're alive with these spectators. Really nice beginning, I'm really looking forward.
11. 10. 2024 20:54 CET 1 flash info (10 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): Because of soft tyres, too soft car. Tomorrow our stages are important.
11. 10. 2024 20:54 CET 1 flash info (11 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): It hasn't been great, an eventful morning. Wanted to go through that there, happy enough. Hopefully the rally goes a bit better.
11. 10. 2024 20:54 CET 1 flash info (12 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): I was talking with my co-driver because we love Ypres rally, it reminded me. There are a lot of sections which are very similar and very narrow. It looks interesting and fun, we'll look tomorrow and have some fun. To get back in the car is the best feeling for me.
11. 10. 2024 20:53 CET 1 flash info (14 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): I didn't feel because my lights didn't work! I didn't see anything with the car. It was terrible for me. For now is okay, we are waiting for tomorrow for normal stages. For today is okay.
11. 10. 2024 20:52 CET 1 flash info (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): I don't know the secret to win, I like this rally, but I did a mistake. My first time driving this car and too much driving. For spectators is good but we lose the time. I will be better for sure.
11. 10. 2024 20:52 CET 1 flash info (16 - Byśkiniewicz Łukasz / Siatkowski Daniel): I like this stage, I won the stage this previous years. I am on medium tyres, I know my computer said softs are better. But we are good on these tyres.
11. 10. 2024 20:51 CET 1 flash info (18 - Krotoszyński Piotr / Martynek Mateusz): Much better, much faster and more safe! Rally2 helps me in all different situations.
11. 10. 2024 20:51 CET 1 flash info (19 - Kwiatkowski Rafał / Kozdroń Kamil): Not so good. I was expecting that we will do better. First mistake on the first barrel and that's it. It is what it is.
11. 10. 2024 20:51 CET 1 flash info (20 - Chwist Daniel / Heller Kamil): I concentrated on putting it on the line, so I hoped it will be fine. Looking forward to tomorrow, we had fun.
11. 10. 2024 20:51 CET 1 flash info (21 - Kurka Tomáš / Vajík Karel): Wasn't bad. No problem.
11. 10. 2024 20:50 CET 1 (21 - Kurka Tomáš / Vajík Karel): had to reverse
11. 10. 2024 20:50 CET 1 flash info (22 - Widłak Igor / Marczewski Michał): It's my first tarmac rally in Poland, but I feel good. I don't think about the time, this rally for me is for fun and confidence.
11. 10. 2024 20:50 CET 1 flash info (23 - Ravenščak Martin / Ravenščak Dora): It was good, classic Mickey Mouse stage. Tomorrow is the real deal.
11. 10. 2024 20:50 CET 1 flash info (24 - Kowalczyk Hubert / Hryniuk Jarosław): Really enjoyed it and I made one more donut because it is very fun, everything is okay.
11. 10. 2024 20:49 CET 1 flash info (25 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): It was really fun to do some proper donuts, not so easy with a front wheel drive but good to have that rear go as well.
11. 10. 2024 20:49 CET 1 flash info (26 - McRae Max / Fair Cameron): I think we have a good chance, I think myself and Carlberg will be pushing really hard. We'll see how it goes tomorrow morning, we both have a really good chance. I think co-driver Fair will be in contact with the wife watching the Mull rally.
11. 10. 2024 20:49 CET 1 flash info (27 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): It's everything I got, my future is depending on this so I'm going to give it everything I have. We have shown I can be quite consistent, but we throw the consistency out the window and give it a big push.
11. 10. 2024 20:48 CET 1 flash info (28 - Polášek Daniel / Omelka Zdeněk): It's definitely a go for the podium, we would like to stay on the podium, we want to have fun and enjoy it. Who knows, it could be my last ERC race but we'll have fun and try and get the podium.
11. 10. 2024 20:48 CET 1 flash info (29 - Pesavento Davide / Zanella Flavio): I am here for learning and improving my driving. I am here to have a lot of fun and to continue my training.
11. 10. 2024 20:48 CET 1 flash info (30 - Lupu Ciprian-Daniel / Aitculesei Andrei): Very nice to see you again, I am enjoying it but I missed a brake and stalled, it's OK. What a way to start the third event this year.
11. 10. 2024 20:47 CET 1 flash info (32 - Chorbiński Michał / Kielar Patryk): Very well, really looking forward to the rally. Unfortunately we lost power steering, so let's see.
11. 10. 2024 20:47 CET 1 flash info (33 - Tochowicz Michał / Białowąs Piotr): Clipped the kerb and that's it. The wheel is still there or no? Yes? We'll see.
11. 10. 2024 20:46 CET 1 flash info (34 - Nowak Marek / Grzelka Adam): It is fantastic, this is my favourite rally. My son is watching the stage so the slides, it was for him. It was fantastic, let's see for tomorrow.
11. 10. 2024 14:56 CET QS flash info (16 - Byśkiniewicz Łukasz / Siatkowski Daniel): It was not good for us, stage is not representative of the whole rally. I feel much better on the bumpy roads. There was a crash in front of us, we have to be slower as there is a lot of mud on the braking. I think it will be good rally for us.
11. 10. 2024 14:56 CET QS flash info (15 - Grzyb Grzegorz / Binięda Adam): It is very nice for us that we can fight in the new car, I think I hit something and I am not happy for this moment. We had a problem with pop-off valve, I hope we can fix it and tomorrow we will be faster.
11. 10. 2024 14:56 CET QS flash info (14 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): It was OK, there was some crew on the stage. It is uncomfortable to see someone on the stage, we are slower. The rally started though! No problem.
11. 10. 2024 14:55 CET QS flash info (12 - Molle Amaury / Dubois Alex): It has been good, we had a test on Wednesday. Looking forward to the event, just to see how we feel in the car. Allen went out and we lost the time, I had to slow down.
11. 10. 2024 14:55 CET QS retired (11 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): accident on shakedown
11. 10. 2024 14:54 CET QS flash info (10 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): I am quite close with the area, here in Katowice I have lots of companies and businesses so it is nice.
11. 10. 2024 14:54 CET QS flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): It was OK, quite dirty, but let's see. Nice stage today and even nicer stage tomorrow.
11. 10. 2024 14:54 CET QS flash info (8 - Evans Meirion / Jackson Jonathan): Wide on a right-hander, clipped the wheeel. I was a bit worried about the damage at the end. Paid a high price to get to the rally at the end hopefully!
11. 10. 2024 14:54 CET QS flash info (7 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): I am good, it was okay, the shakedown was a good pre-event because the rally will be difficult. We expect for a nice rally but a difficult one.
11. 10. 2024 14:53 CET QS flash info (6 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): Hello from Poland! I worked with M-Sport Poland a lot, it is really good to be rallying so close to their factory. That time was really good, we made some changes. We're keeping the right foot on her.
11. 10. 2024 14:53 CET QS flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): Times are close, it is a nice stage, not very difficult. Now it is a little dirty in many places, now we have to enjoy. Everything is good.
11. 10. 2024 14:53 CET QS flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It feels great to be honest, let's hope for a little bit more luck in Poland. The previous years have not been so kind to us, last year with the R5 was more instances of tyre damage than stages done and the year before was more driveshafts than stages done. We're looking forward to it.
11. 10. 2024 14:53 CET QS flash info (3 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): I would say second, third, fourth is the ideal road position, quite close to the front. I appreciate the FIA ERC is coming to our Polish Tarmac stages, it is very mixed and tricky and I hope myself and other Polish drivers will make it interesting.
11. 10. 2024 14:52 CET QS flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): I feel really nice, I want to enjoy maximum this last race of the year. For sure the title will be difficult, but we want to enjoy it. The Quali is nice, if we can be in the top three we will see because it will be quite muddy in the cuts.
11. 10. 2024 14:44 CET QS flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Different approach, Wales was an all or nothing rally for us, here is a low risk type approach. It is a tricky rally, lots of mud and stuff here. Nice clean run for now, we don't want to be first on the road we want to be somewhere in the middle. There is a lot of anticuts on this rally, lots of pollution can come out.
11. 10. 2024 14:43 CET QS Weather in Zabrze is semi-cloudy, temperature is around 15°C, road is drying after night rain.
11. 10. 2024 10:24 CET FP1+FP2 retired (11 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): accident in free practice
