20 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's hard to smile right now, a win in Finland is always nice but that is not the way we like to have it. Very sorry for Kalle and Jonne, amazing pace all weekend. Quite unlucky with the stone on the weekend. It's a shame for them. We were unlucky in Sardinia and lost in the last stage but we are lucky here, that is motorsport. I have to see if we do a full campaign but it looks like I have no other option. It is not my priority anymore but we'll see.

20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): To be honest, real rollercoaster of emotion this weekend. Just like the stages, emotions were up and down, challenging weekend of course but I think we had a clever approach this weekend knowing it was hard to fight with the Toyotas. After our teams issues, we knew we had to bring the points home. We have to thank the team, hopefully they get a bit of holiday and a rest as we have some tough events coming up. I'm not surprised Ogier is a challenger, I think he could do the remaining events.

20 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I'm really pleased it ended up like that after a difficult start for us with no test and no preparation. I am so pleased to go up to the podium, it is good for France. The fourth podium is always good, especially in Finland.

04. 08. 2024 13:19 CET
20 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): First of all, huge thanks to the Toyota team, an amazing weekend for me. I have been trying to enjoy this as much as possible. On some of the stages we have done quite nicely and we have learnt a lot. It is a big relief to come to the finish, but I was hoping the rally would never end as we were enjoying a lot. A big thank you to everyone. Hopefully back in Rally1 very soon.

04. 08. 2024 13:01 CET
20 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I don't know what to say. Sorry from my side on Friday for sure, I just feel bad for Kalle. We tried to get there, rallying is rally. I'll try to do a better job for the team next time. EP, Sunday points, I am possibly one less than him. [You're equal] Maybe I am not so bad.
04. 08. 2024 13:57
04. 08. 2024 12:57 CET
20 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): For sure when you retire, it doesn't matter which rally, you will always be disappointed. It is the most important one for me personally. It is part of life as well, when you drive on the limit and don't actually do anything wrong, we saw on the last one. We felt so bad for Kalle Rovanperä, I felt physically sick for him on the road section. If nothing has changed, we should see me again.
04. 08. 2024 13:56
04. 08. 2024 12:56 CET
20 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Difficult to say, it is always difficult to do Finland in the Rally1 for the first time. The mistake on Saturday was a shame, I would've like to have done Päïjälä and Ouninpöhja in that car, but thanks to the mechanics for getting it back out today and we'll have a nice break before Greece.
04. 08. 2024 13:56
04. 08. 2024 12:56 CET
20 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It's a fantastic feeling, it means a lot to get congratulations from Jari-Matti, it's been a great fight and it is good to fight against him like he did against my father. Big thanks to the team, they had to push my car into service so thanks to them for that. It has been a very good weekend.
04. 08. 2024 13:56
04. 08. 2024 12:56 CET
20 flash info (39 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): It's been a bit sad day for Toyota, it is sad to see our boys retiring. It is motorsport and it is hard sometimes. It is a bit controversial because we expected to be top five, but we are in podium in WRC2 after finishing fifth last year. It is not bad, maybe we can drive more. I need to ask my boss if we are allowed to.
04. 08. 2024 13:55
04. 08. 2024 12:55 CET
20 flash info (24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): It's really nice feeling, thanks to all my sponsors who are involved. It has been a tricky Sunday, Heikkilä has been on good pace so we have to push hard.
04. 08. 2024 13:55
04. 08. 2024 12:55 CET
20 flash info (32 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): I tried, I gave everything. It was quite a clean run but it was like full attack in my opinion. Very unlucky weekend for us. Yesterday fighting with the really fast guys. I did all I can, but still losing. Thanks to the team, they fixed the rear. This morning was frustrating with the oil on the windscreen.
04. 08. 2024 13:55
04. 08. 2024 12:55 CET
20 flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): I think that is the highlight winning Ouninpöhja stage, considering the crash we had Friday we are very lucky to be here. We have to take fifth position with a good positive attitude. Big thanks to the team and big thanks to Toyota for building such a strong car.
04. 08. 2024 13:54
04. 08. 2024 12:54 CET
20 flash info (27 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): This was a difficult, really full rain in some places. Quite good feeling, of course we lost because we had a puncture. Otherwise, our race was quite good.
04. 08. 2024 13:54
04. 08. 2024 12:54 CET
20 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Like my friends say, it is top five every time for us. I was not pushing in this stage as we were making some changes to the roll bar on the rear. The car was undriveable, it was fun because the rear was everywhere. I have to speak to the team about this. Now I am waiting to go back to my hotel room, to have some burger and Red Bull and watch some series.

04. 08. 2024 13:52
04. 08. 2024 12:52 CET
19 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The beginning was very rutted, so I was very careful in there. It's just a lottery, so I don't like the lottery.
04. 08. 2024 13:52
04. 08. 2024 12:52 CET
19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I couldn't find the feeling at the beginning of the stage, I knew Elfyn was off. I struggled like hell to get the feeling. It went better at the beginning of the stage, but we have to be clever in that situation now and take the points we can for the weekend.
04. 08. 2024 13:51
04. 08. 2024 12:51 CET
19 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was an interesting stage, all flat out. On the narrow part there were a lot of ruts. Definitely we were a bit too low and touching too much, it was like a train in some places.
04. 08. 2024 13:51
04. 08. 2024 12:51 CET
19 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It was quite nice, I drive really to enjoy the last proper stage of the rally with this car. I think the driving was fine, obviously it was not good for Evans to be off the road on the first corner.
04. 08. 2024 13:51
04. 08. 2024 12:51 CET
19 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Few corners there are quite big ruts, but quite okay.

04. 08. 2024 12:50 CET
19 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Rear left side window is missing. It happened in Sweden and some other rally, so we need to fin da fix for that. Last proper stage of the rally, we enjoyed a lot.
04. 08. 2024 13:50
04. 08. 2024 12:50 CET
18 flash info (43 - Korhola Benjamin / Virtanen Sebastian): So slippery, but onto the next one. I don't know if friends and family are here.
04. 08. 2024 13:49
04. 08. 2024 12:49 CET
18 flash info (23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): Quite good as I said before, we are trying to learn on this rally. This stage was quite different and required a different technique, so always learning.
04. 08. 2024 13:49
04. 08. 2024 12:49 CET
18 flash info (29 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): Still build some speed, not very characteristic of Finland. We'll build some speed for the next one again. We're in a bit of a battle with Rossel, so it's nice.
04. 08. 2024 13:49
04. 08. 2024 12:49 CET
18 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): I am learning my skill, it is most important when I come here. The grip is not high today, I don't know if it is the car. The balance of the car changes a lot, when you do not have a confidence it is not easy, it is so easy to be up or down.
04. 08. 2024 13:49
04. 08. 2024 12:49 CET
18 flash info (27 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): Quite good Sunday so far, nice to see all the fans here but otherwise, I don't like this stage.
04. 08. 2024 13:48
04. 08. 2024 12:48 CET
18 flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): We're in no-man's land now. I'd love to go as quick as possible but I just don't have the confidence in myself right now not to make a mistake. If I do, we'll push a bit but we have to slow down.
04. 08. 2024 13:48
04. 08. 2024 12:48 CET
18 flash info (32 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): 100m from the start line on the last one we had oil on the windscreen. I am quite happy with the driving cause I couldn't see so much.
04. 08. 2024 13:48
04. 08. 2024 12:48 CET
18 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It feels like we are floating, I feel like the car is not getting the road. We changed the setup a little bit. More confused each time, when we change something, it is not logical sometimes.
04. 08. 2024 13:48
04. 08. 2024 12:48 CET
18 flash info (24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): I try to enjoy every metre, this was quite difficult stage, it was really hard to find the grip. We survived it and try to push for the next one.
04. 08. 2024 13:47
04. 08. 2024 12:47 CET
18 flash info (39 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): Juha and I are having a lot of fun, there are moments when we don't agree with a lot of things, he doesn't like when I correct the notes and finds excuses!
04. 08. 2024 13:47
04. 08. 2024 12:47 CET
18 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): The atmosphere is always amazing, I have never seen so many people at Secto Rally Finland. I have never seen so many Swedish and Norwegian flags, it is amazing. Just trying to manage the gap now.
04. 08. 2024 13:47
04. 08. 2024 12:47 CET
18 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): This stage is really cool for the fans, otherwise it is not the best. I try to enjoy, at least with a rally car it is not too bad but the Wolf Power Stage will be tricky.
04. 08. 2024 13:46
04. 08. 2024 12:46 CET
18 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's not the most enjoyable, but we haven't had that before, right? It is rally, you have to adapt to that. For the fans, it is great.
04. 08. 2024 13:46
04. 08. 2024 12:46 CET
18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We lost the rear on acceleration, there was enough room but we lost one or two tenths. Not so good feeling, we are just fighting and we are not so good on the balance. We are just fighting and trying to get home with a few points.
04. 08. 2024 13:46
04. 08. 2024 12:46 CET
18 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Normally I do this with my skis or mountain bike, today I am okay to do it with the car. It is a good exercise and we can see a lot of gravel through here, so it is interesting.
04. 08. 2024 13:46
04. 08. 2024 12:46 CET
18 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I am trying to enjoy as much as I can. This one was more fun for the spectators, some nice corners in the forest in the middle part, I was enjoying that. The beginning was really tricky, so not too confident there but tried to be clean.
04. 08. 2024 13:45
04. 08. 2024 12:45 CET
18 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm sure this one will clean more than the other one, a bit of a frustrating stage as there is more grip in places and you feel a bit under, then there is less grip in places and you can go wide in places.
04. 08. 2024 13:45
04. 08. 2024 12:45 CET
18 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is quite loose, I lost the line a few times and it cost a bit. It is not as bad as expected but for sure, the second pass can be bad so we'll see.
04. 08. 2024 13:45
04. 08. 2024 12:45 CET
18 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): First run it seems we managed to do pretty well, but this one no chance. Cause of the cleaning, it so loose in there. We did what we could.
04. 08. 2024 13:45
04. 08. 2024 12:45 CET
18 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): To be 100 percent honest, the previous one was possibly better to end on, but it is still so fun and nice for the spectators.
04. 08. 2024 13:38
04. 08. 2024 12:38 CET
17 retired (47 - Rytkönen Anssi / Korhonen Mikael): retired after SS 17
04. 08. 2024 13:38
04. 08. 2024 12:38 CET
17 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): It's not bad for sure, so difficult to keep the rear on the line.
04. 08. 2024 13:37
04. 08. 2024 12:37 CET
17 flash info (27 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): Really nice stage and quite pleased for us, very happy.
04. 08. 2024 13:37
04. 08. 2024 12:37 CET
17 flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): I would describe it also as very fast and very tricky, but that's Finland for you. Not really any drama.
04. 08. 2024 13:37
04. 08. 2024 12:37 CET
17 flash info (32 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): We have some oil coming on the windscreen, we need to go.
04. 08. 2024 13:36
04. 08. 2024 12:36 CET
17 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I don't know how it went, I feel no grip and compared with yesterday there is no big change. I lack the grip and the rear with stability. I want to fight for the podium, but even if I am on the podium I will not be on the podium because I am not registered for points.
04. 08. 2024 13:36
04. 08. 2024 12:36 CET
17 flash info (24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): We tried to push but it was quite slippery. Maybe I did too carefully but we'll try to keep position.
04. 08. 2024 13:36
04. 08. 2024 12:36 CET
17 flash info (39 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): I am positively surprised, I said to Juha that I felt it was a good stage. This is one of the parts that I love, this is one of the stages that I enjoy on Secto Rally Finland, so we gave it a push. Of course, Kalle getting a win would be really important to the fans. When I see Toyota winning, that is the best!
04. 08. 2024 13:36
04. 08. 2024 12:36 CET
17 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Beautiful stage, fantastic. We tried to drive clean, for sure very careful in places. It's quite loose off line, easy to slide into something. Just taking it easy and trying to enjoy the last stage.
04. 08. 2024 13:35
04. 08. 2024 12:35 CET
17 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Not so easy stage to be honest, quite slippery in places. I don't want to mess anything up for the lead but Sunday is team points. Bit of a wake up call in one place, I went a bit wide.
04. 08. 2024 13:35
04. 08. 2024 12:35 CET
17 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): At the minute it is working well. It was an okay stage for me, maybe I should be a bit faster but happy with this run. It is just flat-out.
04. 08. 2024 13:35
04. 08. 2024 12:35 CET
17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): That's a lot of time compared to Evans. I need to take too much risk if I want to go faster and there is no reason to take risk. We do worry about Super Sunday, but I don't need to go faster.
04. 08. 2024 13:34
04. 08. 2024 12:34 CET
17 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was a moment! Definitely I'm pushing, in one cut it pushed me a bit wide, but it's okay. You need a bit of luck sometimes. I was really pushing. We spent so much time on the limit.
04. 08. 2024 13:34
04. 08. 2024 12:34 CET
17 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Somehow we got stuck on the inside of the corner and I made a big emergency manouvre to avoid some damage. Maybe I would have been able to do the corner if I was confident enough.
04. 08. 2024 13:32
04. 08. 2024 12:32 CET
17 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We have to see what is possible, it was a very clean run in here. Not sure it was quite brave enough, but we'll see what the time looks like. Normally, we're in this on our own because of points, that's how it has always been at Toyota. We need to do our job first.
04. 08. 2024 13:31
04. 08. 2024 12:31 CET
17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Try to push of course, try to find the right spot to get Wolf Power Stage points and Sunday points. For sure I left some time in there but it is better than yesterday in the car.
04. 08. 2024 13:31
04. 08. 2024 12:31 CET
17 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's pretty okay, for sure on the small road there is a lot of cleaning for us to do but it is what it is. I had a decent run, some places I was on the limit on the grip, but I didn't want to overshoot. We'll bag some points if we can.
04. 08. 2024 13:31
04. 08. 2024 12:31 CET
17 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We are way too slow, but it doesn't matter, we are just happy to be here. We are grateful to the team, just trying to enjoy every kilometre.

16 flash info (53 - Soylu Uğur / Güray Şener): The Stage, the start - too much rain! Halfway through, too much rain! Problem; too much rain!
04. 08. 2024 03:42
04. 08. 2024 02:42 CET
16 flash info (31 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): We had a very big rain during SS 12 and we lost a lot of time. We struggled a bit with the pace and the confidence, but tomorrow is a new day and we will go with it.
04. 08. 2024 03:42
04. 08. 2024 02:42 CET
16 flash info (38 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): It's brutal, difficult in those conditions, we had such bad rain and then steamed up so we couldn't see where we were going. Still, 32km of Oujinpöha, have to stay positive. Thanks to everyone who made it possible, it's not every weekend you get to do that.
04. 08. 2024 03:42
04. 08. 2024 02:42 CET
16 flash info (49 - Jylhä Tommi / Nevanpää Kimmo): It was really tricky, it was raining almost the whole stage. That was not an easy stage, even with the drivers in there. Better to take it easy.
04. 08. 2024 03:41
04. 08. 2024 02:41 CET
16 flash info (46 - Raitanen Juhana / Vaaleri Samu): It was much better, we get quite good rhythm and of course the weather is changing quite a lot, but we are having good fun.
04. 08. 2024 03:41
04. 08. 2024 02:41 CET
16 flash info (48 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Karttunen Veli-Pekka): It's much, much better. Water makes it very slippery. Second one went very, very better. I am so happy.
04. 08. 2024 03:41
04. 08. 2024 02:41 CET
16 flash info (41 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): This is all afternoon loop, heavy rain for me. That long stage, maybe three times heavy rain, makes very slippery places. Difficult afternoon!
04. 08. 2024 03:41
04. 08. 2024 02:41 CET
16 flash info (30 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): I was thinking to go a little slower and going easy, but this stage doesn't let you go easy! We tried to enjoy it, we lost the power close to the finish but the stage was good enough to enjoy. The afternoon was not enjoyable for us because there was too much rain. We hope this stays in the rally for next year because it is a good one.
04. 08. 2024 03:40
04. 08. 2024 02:40 CET
16 flash info (23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): I have to say that we had the rain in more or less every stage, it is crazy. In the last one I couldn't even see the road. This rally is not for me this time, but in the future, you never know.

16 flash info (43 - Korhola Benjamin / Virtanen Sebastian): There might be some kind of leak in this car. In Päïjälä stage it was like a shower in the car. I like this stage a lot, I tried to give it a push. I went almost flat on the Yellow House jump.
04. 08. 2024 03:40
04. 08. 2024 02:40 CET
16 flash info (29 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): The rain is coming towards the stage end, it is still a crazy stage no matter what! The rain is in the last five kilometres.

04. 08. 2024 02:39 CET
16 flash info (24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): It's really interesting, it was enjoyable to drive but I was too careful on the first part. We have to really push tomorrow if we want to be on the top positions.
04. 08. 2024 03:39
04. 08. 2024 02:39 CET
16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's definitely not been a great day for us, but we have a car for tomorrow that's something. I think it's good now, the guys did a good job at lunchtime, thanks to those guys for all their efforts. We'll see what we can do tomorrow.
04. 08. 2024 03:39
04. 08. 2024 02:39 CET
16 flash info (27 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): Yeah, quite good. A puncture, we could not take any risks but yeah nice stage.
04. 08. 2024 03:39
04. 08. 2024 02:39 CET
16 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I did maximum from this car, we were enjoying, we were even speaking after one jump how it was because at one moment it was very drifty. On the fast section, we can improve a lot. I think if you make the "Ouninpöhja" t-shirt then it will make millions!
04. 08. 2024 03:38
04. 08. 2024 02:38 CET
16 flash info (28 - Virves Robert / Lesk Aleks): I am sitting so high so no chance to see out of the car and it is going all the time up and down so I can only see the ground. I was quite lucky in a lot of places.

16 flash info (32 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): I was quite happy with my stage. I think we had an issue with the rear, I saw something on the morning loop also, but we didn't do anything. I did everything I could, I was pushing also.
04. 08. 2024 03:37
04. 08. 2024 02:37 CET
16 flash info (39 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): Stupid from my side, I was coming very fast to the downhill braking, braking slightly too late and we lost the speed, I thought to let it spin so we let it spin and had to pull the handbrake. Luckily everything is okay.
04. 08. 2024 03:37

16 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I had one big moment this morning and I thought I'd back off. When you know the stage once it is a hell of a difference. We took it easy in the rough part, just tried to enjoy myself.

04. 08. 2024 02:36 CET
16 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I needed to push a bit, I wanted to get a better feeling on this stage than the morning, the car is working better now. If I remember right, my dad did a really good time on this stage so I needed to do one also so we can both say we did a good time on this stage. In the morning there was a good fight and we kept pushing today. We did some quite strong times without taking any huge risks, so that is quite positive.
04. 08. 2024 03:36
04. 08. 2024 02:36 CET
16 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was not the perfect stage again, I'm sure Kalle will be fast. It was okay. I have never seen so often Kalle take it easy. It's good, as I wanted to for the team. Let's push for tomorrow.
04. 08. 2024 03:35
04. 08. 2024 02:35 CET
16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): For sure it waas much more enjoyable now, I am happy and relieved the day is over. If we can finish tomorrow it is some quite good points but we still have a job to do tomorrow. The rivals are the ones we look at, Ogier takes more points today, Fourmaux too. We'll see how Super Sunday goes.
04. 08. 2024 03:35
04. 08. 2024 02:35 CET
16 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We were just saying that what we just did is crazy. That stage is just incredible, it is really difficult to describe it. For sure we can go gain in there, for the pace were on 2kph slower through the stage. It is incredible.
04. 08. 2024 03:35
04. 08. 2024 02:35 CET

04. 08. 2024 02:35 CET
16 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The tyre delaminated in fifth gear so quite an explosion. We took the change very slowly. Felt good before that.

04. 08. 2024 02:32 CET
15 flash info (39 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): I have to be realistic, driving and trying to catch Oliver Solberg is not possible. There is so much loose rocks on the stage and the rain made it quite soft, so I tried to be on the safe side. Having a puncture means we would lose everything so now we have to use the brain. I was hoping it would be nice for the afternoon, but so many rocks. In the Rally1 you can push more than in the Rally2 as you have stronger tyre too.
04. 08. 2024 03:32
04. 08. 2024 02:32 CET
15 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): So many rocks in there, really bad. I just took it easy, I don't care if I lose a load of time as it's so easy to get a puncture. In the stage, I had an alarm on my dash and the car stopped.
04. 08. 2024 03:32
04. 08. 2024 02:32 CET
15 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I don't know if you can call it fun in those conditions, really rough conditions on the stage and there has bveen a lot of rain on the stage so it was really rough and tricky. If we can enjoy the last one of the loop with a bit stable conditions, we'll enjoy it.
04. 08. 2024 03:32
04. 08. 2024 02:32 CET
15 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I couldn't drive slower than that, I already had a moment even though I drive so slow. When you are not on it, it is not working. In some place it was rough. Hopefully the conditions are nicer and we can enjoy it more than the last one.
04. 08. 2024 03:31
04. 08. 2024 02:31 CET
15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Everything is okay. Tricky conditions, I had a clean run. Interesting definitely, with the conditions. It's a big one but we gonna take it steady.
04. 08. 2024 03:31
04. 08. 2024 02:31 CET
15 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The conditions were completely different, definitely there was some places out of the line, there was just no grip so it was so difficult. I am happy with my performance in the stage and I am fighting, so it is better. I've seen the lines of Taka, I don't know about Lappi, for us it was OK but we lost some traction. For sure, it is easy to go wide and make a mistake.
04. 08. 2024 03:31
04. 08. 2024 02:31 CET
15 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It was a lot better in many places, but it was still really, really wet in the beginning and middle parts. I was at least sideways if something, maybe not the nicest feeling but it was fine. I am just trying to do my best.
04. 08. 2024 03:30
04. 08. 2024 02:30 CET
15 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The water was making it tricky, there was a lot of standing water here and there, you couldn't really see them. I'm sure Taka had a massive moment, I saw the line, it was just by a crest which you come over in fifth gear. I nearly had a moment as well, this was a really challenging one with a lot of surprises.
04. 08. 2024 03:30
04. 08. 2024 02:30 CET
15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): There is so many corners, conditions are horrible! It was very tricky, lots of standing water and very muddy. I have no lines so it is very difficult and impossible to drive like normal.

14 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I don't know what the others are doing there because the rain once again came for us. I don't know what is going on there because the rain always comes for us. It was a good stage.
04. 08. 2024 03:27
04. 08. 2024 02:27 CET
14 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Very safe drive for us, all good. Little shower before the stage so not good condition, but it is okay. The gaps are big so it would be silly to push. Let's see what we can do on Ouninpöhja.
04. 08. 2024 03:27
04. 08. 2024 02:27 CET
14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Not really an improvement, the conditions are rutted so the car stays more on the road. Trying a few different things. Tomorrow is an important day.
04. 08. 2024 03:26
04. 08. 2024 02:26 CET
14 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): She did wake up, we found something to get some activity. The conditions are surprising, sometimes in the lines we have really good grip. Sometimes, we end up in the mud and the loose. That was really intense, we need to concentrate.
04. 08. 2024 03:26
04. 08. 2024 02:26 CET
14 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Sounds good. Still, it was quite tricky in some places. I was a bit surprised how much water there was and the grip was changing quite a lot. Still, I would say it is good practice. From mid-stage to the beginning there is standing water and mud, but it is fine.
04. 08. 2024 03:26
04. 08. 2024 02:26 CET
14 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): One big mistake where we lost half a second to one second. The car felt fairly good on these slippery conditions, so not bad. I actually felt some grip in these slippery conditions. My engineer had some ideas, so far they seemed to work. I think I am the happiest today.
04. 08. 2024 03:25
04. 08. 2024 02:25 CET
14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Not easy to follow the line on the second pass, quite slippery also. Before we started there was rain but luckily the sunshine dries it up quite quickly. I am working on my brain and myself.

13 flash info (41 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): In the first 10km, quite okay. In the mid-section. I lost a bit of rhythm and some scary places in here. Always special to drive Ouninpöhja as we only drive it two to three times a year. Hopefully the next run is a little bit better.

04. 08. 2024 02:18 CET
13 flash info (23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): It's an incredible stage, I was watching this on YouTube as a kid. Doing this now is quite tricky, you can do so many corners where you think you can be faster but you are out of the line.
04. 08. 2024 03:18
04. 08. 2024 02:18 CET
13 flash info (43 - Korhola Benjamin / Virtanen Sebastian): That's an unbelievable stage! I tried to push but there are so many blind corners, blind crests. It is so fast, a great experience.

04. 08. 2024 02:17 CET
13 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): It's crazy. I don't remember every corner, it's crazy honestly. When you are in the recce, you say 80 but it is easier to say a 60. So difficult to keep the rear on the line. Not easy.
04. 08. 2024 03:17
04. 08. 2024 02:17 CET

04. 08. 2024 02:17 CET
13 flash info (24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): I am surprised because it felt on the first part that it was really slippery, I struggled a bit with the braking points. It's a really nice stage, I enjoyed it a lot. I cannot say more.
04. 08. 2024 03:16
04. 08. 2024 02:16 CET
13 flash info (27 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): Really cool stage, crazy jumps I have to say. Lucky we are here.
04. 08. 2024 03:16
04. 08. 2024 02:16 CET
13 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I was slow from my side by 20sec, because we changed the setup for this stage to have a super precise car but I was told the grip would be full grip, I went every corner flat out. I know what to do for the next pass, I hope the next pass is proper attack. The first 20km we struggled with the car to find the grip, but the narrow pass we found the grip. The jump over the Yellow House is not too bad to be honest, I'm not sure on the hype of this jump.

04. 08. 2024 02:15 CET
13 flash info (39 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): Back in 2017 I didn't manage to do this stage! Now we are here, we have some unfinished business so we have to push on the stage! Now we have finished business. Two times, we had to brake on the stage as Juho Hänninen back is not okay. My back is not okay either, maybe we are getting old.
04. 08. 2024 03:15
04. 08. 2024 02:15 CET
13 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I had two massive moments! Like huge! because it was so slippery and it was just normal corners, I was flat fifth and it locked in the ditch. Not a good stage Latvala will take a lot of time.

04. 08. 2024 02:15 CET
13 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): That's quite tight then, at the beginning of the stage I could've done better because it was my first time on Ouninpöhja. It was a clean stage, nothing crazy. It is an amazing stage, I did it first time with a rally car, it is quite hard to enjoy because it can be quite tricky at times, but when you get to the end you can enjoy it.

13 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It is the best stage in the world. Unfortunately I was not really on the limit, there was many places I could've gone faster but that is the resumé of morning. Maybe I'm getting old! Could be better.
04. 08. 2024 03:14
04. 08. 2024 02:14 CET
13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): To be honest it is scary, I was afraid all run long. I was happy to be at the finish. I don't know what to do, we have tried everything. We have done enough, we can't drive it.
04. 08. 2024 03:13
04. 08. 2024 02:13 CET
13 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's a monument to men, it's incredible. So cool, so intense also, the grip was changing, there were so many crests. It's an art to be fair, very impressive. It's not my best stage, there were so many parts of the stage with the pace note where I was wondering 'is it there, is it there?
04. 08. 2024 03:13
04. 08. 2024 02:13 CET
13 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): At least it was really good, that 30km goes quite fast, it is really nice with this car but obviously in some places I could go much quicker, so I try to improve on the second pass. But I enjoyed that a lot.
04. 08. 2024 03:13
04. 08. 2024 02:13 CET
13 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): We jumped too much, slid wide and I was feeling good on the previous one, but this had no grip at all. Very difficult. It looks to be good, but it's not conditions. In the end, there was more water at the end of the small road.
04. 08. 2024 03:12
04. 08. 2024 02:12 CET
13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Nice! Very nice, I was not so comfortable in the car but this stage, something special. It's crazy. It's quite slippery, I don't know why, it is a little bit loose. The stage is so nice though so I don't care.

04. 08. 2024 03:08
04. 08. 2024 02:08 CET
12 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It was really nice, enjoyed it a lot. Still some rain on the stage so the grip was changing a bit. The others have done this stage the most compared to me with this car, but I enjoyed it and it was fine. Really looking forward to Ouninpöhja.
04. 08. 2024 03:08
04. 08. 2024 02:08 CET
12 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): There is much more mud than the first stage today so the grip is much more inconsistent, so challenging in places.
04. 08. 2024 03:07
04. 08. 2024 02:07 CET
12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Very slippery, so greasy. It's not muddy, but very soft surface so it is moving round a lot. Quite scary moments, I was not pushing on the limit but still scary moments.
04. 08. 2024 03:07
04. 08. 2024 02:07 CET
12 Wet and slick conditions throughout the stage, with low grip expected. Rain has also been reported at stage end.

04. 08. 2024 00:55 CET
11 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was surprisingly slippery, a bit more slippier than I expected but it was the same for everybody. We had a problem on the start line, the car would start and then shut off itself after like 3sec, so that was a bit weird.
04. 08. 2024 01:55
04. 08. 2024 00:55 CET
11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I wasn't very happy with my run, it was a bit scrappy, especially at the beginning. The grip wasn't as good as I thought, it looked okay at the beginning.
04. 08. 2024 01:54
04. 08. 2024 00:54 CET
11 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The grip was low so I tried, but it is not easy to find the limit.

04. 08. 2024 00:54 CET
11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have no grip on the rear, I am sliding everywhere. I cannot commit. We need to work, I am not sure what to do. Conditions are not great, I can't get the car working.
04. 08. 2024 01:54
04. 08. 2024 00:54 CET
11 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Really sorry for Munster, it's a huge loss for the team but it can happen and the grip is quite low and it is so fast. I had a good stage but definitely I am still fighting in the cuts. I am also fighting laziness, she needs to wake up.
04. 08. 2024 01:54

04. 08. 2024 00:53 CET
11 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): First of all, I saw both Munster and Louka outside the car and they were fine and that is the main thing. It is a bit of a shame, my favourite stage and conditions are perfect. I went slowly through that, but we hope they can rejoin the rally soon.
04. 08. 2024 01:52
04. 08. 2024 00:52 CET
11 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): We had red flag. I was discovering the stage, I didn't do it last year and I wanted to make sure everything is good with the pace notes and everything is okay with the grip level. We have nothing to fight for today.

10 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I don't know where to start. Some good things, some really amazing nice things and some of them not so good. The summary is you never stop fighting and you never give up, you need to refocus and keep going. It's the first day with Rally1 car, we need to learn some things. Maybe I did some things by accident.
02. 08. 2024 20:53
02. 08. 2024 19:53 CET
10 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I change all my pace notes cause they weren't good enough and now I overshoot because it is more slippery. Not the easiest to do Finland for the first time with Rally1, the pace has been ok depending on the stage. Tomorrow I am looking forward to the stages. Ouninpöhja, I am really excited. We were struggling a bit for the morning, but hopefully we will be all sorted tomorrow.

10 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It has been a tricky day especially with the weather, really changeable and difficult conditions. Quite happy to have a clean day, not pleased with the pace, for sure I would like to be a bit faster. Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit more faster and more equal. Difficult tomorrow, for sure there will be a lot of rain also.

02. 08. 2024 19:52 CET
10 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's been really tricky today with the rain but we had some good fun also so that was enjoyable in places. The Finland rally gives you some intensity in the heart. Glad to see a lot of spectators, it has not been the best day for us but tomorrow is another day. Tomorrow I really like the stages but I think everybody likes it, I'm really looking forward to Ouninpöhja, it is new for me. I hope the weather will be better than today.

10 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Tomorrow will be a big day, looking forward to it as there are really amazing stages. Let's hope the weather isn't too crazy as it is not enjoyable with too much rain. Not so bad performance on my side, lost some ground on Kalle but that was expected. With road position we didn't get the rhythm. At the end it doesn't matter, I am happy where we are in the fight for the podium.

10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Very disappointed as team, we lost two cars in those circumstances so that is disappointing for everybody but that is racing. At least EP is back and Ott and Martin are both fine, that's the main thing. I look forward, beautiful stages tomorrow. Still need to improve the car a little bit but we'll get there.

9 flash info (32 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): It was much more dry than before but quite a long day. I have tried to go fast but the times are really bad, quite frustrating. I don't know why we are losing so much, but we are losing anyway.
02. 08. 2024 20:08
02. 08. 2024 19:08 CET
9 flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): We were hoping to be a little more at the front but it is what it is, it's currently what we can do. Try and do better tomorrow. It is quite rutted, I try to attack the ruts a little bit more. It's currently what it is. We'll see what we can do.
02. 08. 2024 20:08
02. 08. 2024 19:08 CET
9 flash info (24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): The beginning of the day was better than the last part but I still have to be happy about our performance. We'll try to push more tomorrow, we have nice and legendary stages. With this car, it's perfect.
02. 08. 2024 20:08
02. 08. 2024 19:08 CET
9 flash info (23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): We're trying to have some fun on the jump and trying to improve my driving, that's the plan for the weekend. We tried to improve but we had some issues with the pop-off and the power, it's hard to improve when you don't have the perfect package.
02. 08. 2024 20:07
02. 08. 2024 19:07 CET
9 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I have to jump!! One more stage to do, I am just a bit disappointed about the last stage end. I said it was the same as in WRC and it was not the same as I said. It is life.
02. 08. 2024 20:07
02. 08. 2024 19:07 CET
9 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): I think I learned, I improved the driving, sometimes the speed I need to have. It's not an easy day, not easy conditions for a comeback on the fast road but quite happy with the feeling. For me, it is completely unnatural, when you are going on soft it is not easy. It is hard to see the road after the crest, but it is the World Rally Championship and we need to adapt.
02. 08. 2024 20:07
02. 08. 2024 19:07 CET

02. 08. 2024 19:06 CET
9 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Aye aye aye! Come on! I don't know what to say, what a rollercoaster of emotions this day has been. Honestly, the first two brakings of the stage I thought I was too slow, so I thought the rest of the stage was quite good, thank you everyone promoter, sponsors and Toyota Gazoo Racing.
02. 08. 2024 20:06
02. 08. 2024 19:06 CET
9 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's amazing in the conditions we have now, but even when it is raining you still get a lot of fun out of it. Even with the splitter, it was nice to do this drive.
02. 08. 2024 20:06
02. 08. 2024 19:06 CET
9 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): This is a cool stage for sure, there is proper feeling on this one, it is a bit short. It was an okay afternoon, for sure on the last two ones we wanted to be a bit faster but that's how it went. Tomorrow should be quite interesting, the gaps are really small with the top guys. Let's see.
02. 08. 2024 20:05
02. 08. 2024 19:05 CET
9 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I think during the jump you don't feel anything but the landing you really feel it! I don't know why we always land on the nose but it is what it is. We should've been on pace since the beginniong of the rally but we have shown that we are able to react after a difficult start, we are back in the game.
02. 08. 2024 20:05
02. 08. 2024 19:05 CET
9 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Finally! Sometimes, the conditions are nicer and there is a bit more grip which we enjoy. Everyone is looking forward to tomorrow, the best stage of the rally, Ouninpöhja. I haven't done the first stage before so I'll have to be on it against the other guys.
02. 08. 2024 20:04
02. 08. 2024 19:04 CET
9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): At the end we left 0.4 s, it was an okay run and Neuville had a good one also. The grip is a lot better now, anticipating low grip in places but it is much better.
02. 08. 2024 20:04
02. 08. 2024 19:04 CET
9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage, we'll see the times very soon. It is very hard to predict, it is changing and switch all the time and the weather is changing every five minutes. One more stage to go. Other than a mistake we have done the best we can do today and we're ready for tomorrow.

02. 08. 2024 17:28 CET
8 flash info (23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): Not a good day for us, we're having pop-off problems all the time and I don't have power on the straights so it is difficult to value my improvement on this rally. It is frustrating like this.
02. 08. 2024 18:20
02. 08. 2024 17:20 CET
8 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It's good because this stage I raced in Richard Burns Rally. I cannot say I remember it for sure, but I remember how to do it on the game. In real life, you do it like this and it is more or less the same than in the game.
02. 08. 2024 18:18
02. 08. 2024 17:18 CET
8 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): It's crazy. I've never seen it like that before, when you are on a 90, full wet, aqua planing. I don't understand why these guys enjoy these conditions, they are crazy for sure. I don't like these conditions and I don't think my car does also.
02. 08. 2024 18:18
02. 08. 2024 17:18 CET
8 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It's the coolest road in the world, I'll probably say the same about Ouninpöhja tomorrow, hopefully it doesn't dry out for the guys behind. There are some big jumps. It's just a rollercoaster, with massive jumps and long corners and a fantastic flow to it. Beautiful.
02. 08. 2024 18:09
02. 08. 2024 17:09 CET
8 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It's quite extreme I would say, really nice stage but so demanding in many places. Still for me there was so many places with standing water so I was really careful. I really felt I was very fast.
02. 08. 2024 18:09
02. 08. 2024 17:09 CET

8 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I don't know if the rain makes a big difference, I had a really good stage and I was pushing also. The condition was not optimal. It was a really good stage but the time is not so good.
02. 08. 2024 18:01
02. 08. 2024 17:01 CET

02. 08. 2024 17:00 CET
8 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): You have no option you just go for your line and pray for the best. It is okay stage, it is good fun. In a fight it is okay, we lost a bit of ground but we do what we can. The commitment needs to be at 100 percent, two years missing here make it more challenging. In Finland, there are not so many guys who can follow the 100 percent of Kalle Rovanperä.
02. 08. 2024 17:46
02. 08. 2024 16:46 CET
8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was alright, looks like the time is not so brilliant but no problem. Tricky to judge how much the standing water will affect the car.

02. 08. 2024 16:46 CET

02. 08. 2024 16:37 CET
7 flash info (24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): It's hard to find a good rhythm here because there is some surface changing and the road is changing quite much, the first part is like a big stage and the second part is quite narrow. We are looking forward to the Myhnipää stage.
02. 08. 2024 17:36
02. 08. 2024 16:36 CET
7 flash info (23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): We are having pop-off problems all the time and it has been very difficult to manage that because you have no power on the straights.

02. 08. 2024 16:35 CET
7 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I cannot say the road is damaged but I do not know what to expect, in the stage there is mud everywhere. I have the setup for better grip, I hope next stage there is something better. Next time, we need a better setup because the next stage, we drove through it, heavy rain, then dry, heavy rain, then dry. This is Finland.
02. 08. 2024 17:35
02. 08. 2024 16:35 CET

02. 08. 2024 16:35 CET
7 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): A bit of luck is nice sometimes! It is very slippery still, lots of water and very tricky. It's fun when there are 20 cars behind that I am fighting with, it is fun to predict who is faster. At least now I have a bit of a margin which is nice.
02. 08. 2024 17:35
02. 08. 2024 16:35 CET
7 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Time is still acceptable, the conditions are still tricky, still very deep cuts which are wet, so easy to catch the front in there. Trying to be careful in those places I'm not so confident, but it is coming together now.
02. 08. 2024 17:34
02. 08. 2024 16:34 CET
7 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Really difficult in this one, so much mud in the cuts. I had one or two very big slides where I was full steering locked. At least we identified the issue.
02. 08. 2024 17:34
02. 08. 2024 16:34 CET
7 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Really difficult, without the rain it is getting a bit easier in places but it is a big mess for us also. I am not taking any risks, in this condition you can not make any mistakes also, so I just tried to keep a good pace. We have more pace if we need to, but we don't need to.
02. 08. 2024 17:34
02. 08. 2024 16:34 CET
7 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It wasn't my first pass in that stage, this morning was not useless for us. There was plenty of places where I could improve, still plenty of mistakes but at least we are more competitive than this morning.
02. 08. 2024 17:33
02. 08. 2024 16:33 CET
7 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's tricky conditions still, many places where you are very low on grip. It's a decent rhythm for us but I don't seem to push harder at the moment.
02. 08. 2024 17:33
02. 08. 2024 16:33 CET
7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's difficult to get into gear, the same places have all the muddy cuts. It's just thick mud and you feel like a passenger. Difficult to commit to a big push, I don't know if anyone has. It's tricky in there.
02. 08. 2024 17:32
02. 08. 2024 16:32 CET
7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a clean run but not good conditions for us to be honest. It is quite wet in there, bit of water, muddy places. We are making the line, huge cuts, muddy water and I got mudded out. Not what I need. At the moment, we are not thinking about the podium, we are thinking about surviving and keeping an eye on Elfyn Evans.

6 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): After the morning loop, it's like another day completely. The conditions are now much more stable but I had a really clean run. It was really nice to drive.
02. 08. 2024 15:48
02. 08. 2024 14:48 CET
6 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's really rutted, overall it is a little rutted but one section where the junction is where I stalled is really rutted. I think we have an issue so we have to check.

02. 08. 2024 14:42 CET
6 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Really difficult condition this afternoon, there must've been quite a lot of rain before us. Really slippery on the muddy places. At least now with the setup we are not fighting the car, so I can enjoy.
02. 08. 2024 15:42
02. 08. 2024 14:42 CET
6 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We have made a good service with the car. Now I need to make the most of that, I am not fighting with the car and can drive how I want on the stage. We are there now and we continue, the stage was really nice to drive. Very rutted, but very good.
02. 08. 2024 15:41
02. 08. 2024 14:41 CET
6 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): There is a bad part in the forest with 40cm deep ruts. I hate this section.
02. 08. 2024 15:41
02. 08. 2024 14:41 CET
6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): There's a lot of water, a lot of places dried up too, bad conditions. I've no idea where is best road position.
02. 08. 2024 15:41
02. 08. 2024 14:41 CET
6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The first part was really good, lots of grip. But once you later hit the stage, the grip was really low. Very rutted section with lots of water. Not easy.
02. 08. 2024 15:41
02. 08. 2024 14:41 CET

5 flash info (38 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): It's been a baptism of fire, the stage before this is proper Finland, massive jumps. The car didn't feel 100% on the last stage so I'm grateful to have service.
02. 08. 2024 13:51
02. 08. 2024 12:51 CET
5 flash info (30 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): The morning was quite lazy, lot of road section, lot of waiting and not much driving. It was great fun though, really beautiful and a nice stage on the last stage.
02. 08. 2024 13:51
02. 08. 2024 12:51 CET
5 flash info (28 - Virves Robert / Lesk Aleks): It's been quite an enjoyable morning, would like to be quicker but it is not the easiest rally for the first time. To see we are fighting with the top guys is really top to see.
02. 08. 2024 13:50
02. 08. 2024 12:50 CET
5 flash info (27 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): It's nice to be here, tricky morning, really difficult condition. [The time] is good.
02. 08. 2024 13:50
02. 08. 2024 12:50 CET
5 flash info (31 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): It was a tricky morning, the conditions were changing quite a lot. We need to improve and build up a bit of speed.
02. 08. 2024 13:50
02. 08. 2024 12:50 CET
5 flash info (29 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): It's been quite tricky, just struggling with the rhythm to be honest. Quick reset in service this morning and we'll go again this afternoon.
02. 08. 2024 13:50
02. 08. 2024 12:50 CET
5 flash info (26 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's a short stage and it is dryer, so it suits the car more. Still struggling but it's a good stage and there are some big jumps. It's got easier as the morning has got on, but it is not easy still.
02. 08. 2024 13:50
02. 08. 2024 12:50 CET
5 flash info (32 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): I wasn't expecting that! For some reason it is really difficult to trust the braking grip. Very tricky on the grip.
02. 08. 2024 13:49
02. 08. 2024 12:49 CET
5 flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): Another loop, but luckily we are here, we can go back to service and hopefully the afternoon loop will be much better.
02. 08. 2024 13:49
02. 08. 2024 12:49 CET
5 flash info (24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): I took it more carefully on this big jump! Otherwise, the stage was not so good compared to the other one. The grip was quite inconsistent. It was hard to find a good rhythm.
02. 08. 2024 13:49
02. 08. 2024 12:49 CET
5 flash info (23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): This one was much better, we tried to push a bit more, we're trying to build a bit of confidence. We didn't have any issues with the pop-off. It is all working well, the most important thing is to improve for this rally.
02. 08. 2024 13:48
02. 08. 2024 12:48 CET
5 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I was thinking maybe there is no landing, after the jump. My leg was too heavy to remove it from the pedal. We changed the setup and I felt like it was driveable, but it was not easy.
02. 08. 2024 13:48
02. 08. 2024 12:48 CET
5 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): For the moment I am just happy to be here. It is a bit hard when you see the time. Sometimes I understand but sometimes not. We need to work and adapt my driving because I am too cautious on the jump and fast crest. When it is technical it is not too bad, but we need to adapt now.
02. 08. 2024 13:48
02. 08. 2024 12:48 CET
5 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I'm okay, it has beena. clean morning. Nothing special. Such tricky conditions, there is mud everywhere on the road. It's difficult to say, with the conditions and everything. If the conditions are nicer and if I want to, I can go much faster, but it is okay for now.
02. 08. 2024 13:48
02. 08. 2024 12:48 CET
5 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): There was a challenge, the conditions have been really tricky. Maybe not the most enjoyable start with the Rally1 car, but I don't want to complain. We did something silly on the first stage and I think we can take the car to service and fix the car.
02. 08. 2024 13:47
02. 08. 2024 12:47 CET
5 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I slowed down quite a lot because I thought I had a puncture but it was okay. In a junction we got caught out a bit with the braking.
02. 08. 2024 13:47
02. 08. 2024 12:47 CET
5 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It was really slippery in there, bad stage. I think we've done a good job, after each car it's getting worse and worse each time.
02. 08. 2024 13:47
02. 08. 2024 12:47 CET
5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Snapped the rear. I try and get it back.

02. 08. 2024 13:45
02. 08. 2024 12:45 CET
5 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We made some changes to the car and it was maybe a bit better. On this rally it is about really small details to be fast with the car. Definitely a really tricky loop, looking forward to the afternoon. We tried a new thing on every stage, we hope for a good afternoon.
02. 08. 2024 13:45
02. 08. 2024 12:45 CET
5 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I am a competitor so I cannot be happy with our man, we can go ahead and find some things to improve the car. It is not easy for this morning but now it is time for the service and the afternoon.
02. 08. 2024 13:44
02. 08. 2024 12:44 CET
5 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): We are all driving on the limit and with this grip condition it is not that easy.
02. 08. 2024 13:44
02. 08. 2024 12:44 CET
5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not great, but it's alright. Bit clumsy in a couple of areas. Didn't get the best out of myself or the car.
02. 08. 2024 13:44
02. 08. 2024 12:44 CET
5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Let's see, I had a clean stage with a little bit of drizzle. Could be an advantage to be first on the road sometimes. A few grip changes in there, little bit of graveling. We went straight on the last stage and we lost 12-13sec, so massive shame.

02. 08. 2024 13:42
02. 08. 2024 12:42 CET
4 flash info (24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): It was really slippery at the first part of the stage, last part was quite okay. We tried to push. We'll try the jump again on Ruhimäki.
02. 08. 2024 13:42
02. 08. 2024 12:42 CET
4 flash info (23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): It was very tricky, we had a lot of pop-off openings on the straight. The car is very tricky to control in these fast sections.
02. 08. 2024 13:42
02. 08. 2024 12:42 CET
4 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It's fine, I see Solberg starts with heavy rain, Rossel starts with heavy rain. I tried to slow down on the first part because if it is raining there it will not be good. I tried to control the first part to not be too slow in the rain. I am not competing with Solberg this time, I just tried to enjoy the stage.
02. 08. 2024 13:42
02. 08. 2024 12:42 CET
4 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): It's crazy, sometimes you have big rain, sometimes you have nothing. I am always aqua planing, it is so difficult to keep the car on the road. You always learn in these conditions but for me it is very, very hard to keep the car on the road.
02. 08. 2024 13:41
02. 08. 2024 12:41 CET
4 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It's full rain since the beginning of the stage. Incredibly slippery, either this will be a big advantage for Jari-Matti and the guys at the back, or more rain is coming.
02. 08. 2024 13:41
02. 08. 2024 12:41 CET
4 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It's quite tough to jump with no rear wing, it was not easy with heavy rain in the middle of the stage, I was backing off quite a lot. To have the full car would be great, I think we need to get it to the service.
02. 08. 2024 13:41
02. 08. 2024 12:41 CET
4 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I don't know what to say, it is dry here and then mid stage, I am aqua planing almost every corner. Difficult.
02. 08. 2024 13:40
02. 08. 2024 12:40 CET
4 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Well, first of all you cannot see and second you can hardly control the car. The wipers are not fast enough to clear the window. There was some slippery places. In the end, it doesn't really change anything; just turn the wipers on and try to finish the road.
02. 08. 2024 13:39
02. 08. 2024 12:39 CET
4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's quite impossible because we had rain in the middle of the stage, not sure how it is going after me but it is difficult when the weather changes halfway through the stage.
02. 08. 2024 13:38
02. 08. 2024 12:38 CET
4 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): There was a big shower for us towards the end of the stage. It has been a difficult morning for the car also, we want to make some setup changes, the car is oversteering so much that on the fast road you cannot be fast. It is horrible.
02. 08. 2024 13:38
02. 08. 2024 12:38 CET
4 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's a disaster, we had no test before this rally and always from the shakedown it is disaster. I am going to change everything on the back of the car that I can. I am trying my best, I am happy with that stage and it has given me more confidence.
02. 08. 2024 13:38
02. 08. 2024 12:38 CET
4 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Nice stage. They are really enjoyable to drive, not competing last year on this really fast stage made it challenging for me, but I tried my best.
02. 08. 2024 13:38
02. 08. 2024 12:38 CET
4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Conditions are a lot better than I expected, been on the careful side in a few places. Still not fully happy, but it's okay. It's early days but we want to keep focused.
02. 08. 2024 13:37
02. 08. 2024 12:37 CET
4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Slightly dryer, definitely more constant grip, it is much harder to commit. Definitely fighting the car in some places, it is not where I want us to be. I don't think there is a disadvantage but I would like to have one or two cars in front to help dig the ground, as occasionally I am losing quite a bit of speed.

3 Stage was stopped due to medical incident not related to the rally.
02. 08. 2024 13:33
02. 08. 2024 12:33 CET
3 flash info (24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): Now when it is more dry, the grip is inconsistent so it is hard to find where to push. We try to improve, I know I can do the stage faster. We would like to do faster but for now it is too scary.
02. 08. 2024 13:32
02. 08. 2024 12:32 CET
3 flash info (23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): It was difficult because it was so slippery, there was a big vibration and I thought I had a puncture. It seems to be okay and it is part of the learning process.
02. 08. 2024 13:32
02. 08. 2024 12:32 CET
3 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I think compared weith the first stage this is much more difficult because of the cuts, I was not expecting it to be so slippery. We were expecting to go with the throttle but because it is so slippery we cannot go with the throttle.
02. 08. 2024 13:32
02. 08. 2024 12:32 CET
3 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): I am just slow for the moment, my pace notes are not great for sure. Too slow to be honest, sometimes we need to keep flat and we brake and lose so much time. It is like that, the plan is to improve.
02. 08. 2024 13:32
02. 08. 2024 12:32 CET
3 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Very slippery, it's so much mud on the road. The first part was okay, but the narrow part, I will lose so much time to the guys behind me.
02. 08. 2024 13:31
02. 08. 2024 12:31 CET
3 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): The difference is really huge, otherwise there is nothing wrong with the car except losing the rear wing, it is like having a puncture all the time in the rear. Quite a lot sideways.
02. 08. 2024 13:31
02. 08. 2024 12:31 CET
3 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Every car is worse and worse, a lot of mud from the cuts. Even on the braking it is a bit difficult to judge the grip. We have some big slide, but just felt it not going forward.
02. 08. 2024 13:30
02. 08. 2024 12:30 CET
3 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Time is good, good to hear but it was very safe. It was nice, the same approach we have been going for. It is difficult for everyone.
02. 08. 2024 13:30
02. 08. 2024 12:30 CET
3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's quite bad actually, on the corners the cutting is getting worse. So not so enjoyable.
02. 08. 2024 13:29
02. 08. 2024 12:29 CET
3 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Ott and Martin went off the road on SS3 of Rally Finland. Ott is ok, however Martin will be taken to hospital for further checks. We will provide more updates when possible.
02. 08. 2024 13:29
02. 08. 2024 12:29 CET
3 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Firstly hopefully Ott and Martin are okay, the stage is getting slower with every car. Every corner we cut a bit. It is not so easy.
02. 08. 2024 13:29
02. 08. 2024 12:29 CET
3 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was a lot of cuts in that stage and it brings a lot of mud on the road, very slippery in the corners. It was difficult to find the pace on that.
02. 08. 2024 13:28
02. 08. 2024 12:28 CET
3 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was a bit difficult, never nice to wait at the start but I am glad Ott and Martin are okay. I was missing some commitment.
02. 08. 2024 13:28
02. 08. 2024 12:28 CET
3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It felt terrible, really bad conditions. So difficult with these cuts and there are so many on the inside, the car is not reacting so well to them.
02. 08. 2024 13:28
02. 08. 2024 12:28 CET
3 Stage continues.
02. 08. 2024 13:28
02. 08. 2024 12:28 CET
3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The grip was a little bit more constant but I went straight on a junction, there was a blind corner over a crest, my pace note clearly didn't read a junction and we went straight onto the grass.
02. 08. 2024 13:27
02. 08. 2024 12:27 CET

02. 08. 2024 12:20 CET
2 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I was taking it easy, way too careful. So slippery and easy to do a small mistake. I'll take it easy now and we'll see with the guys coming very far behind.
02. 08. 2024 13:20
02. 08. 2024 12:20 CET
2 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Really tricky, I don't know where I am. We can keep going, it's fine. Feels okay.
02. 08. 2024 13:20
02. 08. 2024 12:20 CET
2 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I stalled the engine under braking so had to restart. We lost a bit of confidence thanks to that mistake. It was okay with the pace on the beginning, but we struggled with the braking and like they said, you cannot hesitate once here.
02. 08. 2024 13:20
02. 08. 2024 12:20 CET
2 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It was very tricky, sometimes the behaviour is really nice then when the grip is changing it is very unpredictable. It makes it hard to really trust the car, but we try to do better.
02. 08. 2024 13:20
02. 08. 2024 12:20 CET
2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was embarrassing driving, I need to do better driving. I am not happy.
02. 08. 2024 13:19

2 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was okay, it seems that it is really slippery, quite a lot of mud from the cuts and the cars in front. I think today it is good to be in the front, the road is not getting any faster.
02. 08. 2024 13:19
02. 08. 2024 12:19 CET
2 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's really tricky conditions, the grip is really inconsistent and sometimes you have it, sometimes you don't. It is really easy to lose confidence in this stages so we just wanted to get it to the end, you feel you can push and then in one corner it's like 'wow.' Not easy!
02. 08. 2024 13:19
02. 08. 2024 12:19 CET
2 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's tricky conditions to start the rally, but I am happy with our start. It is very low grip conditions so not easy to find the rhythm. No idea how the surface will evolve.
02. 08. 2024 13:18
02. 08. 2024 12:18 CET
2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was okay, very difficult to judge the grip, but otherwise okay. It's very patchy, some places the grip is quite good, other places not so much.
02. 08. 2024 13:18
02. 08. 2024 12:18 CET
2 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Like driving a tarmac car, incredibly difficult. I don't know how the surface will change.
02. 08. 2024 13:18
02. 08. 2024 12:18 CET
2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Very bad conditions, to be honest I had many small moments where the car didn't turn at all or just went into a huge slide. It is a disaster. No, nothing got sorted, I lose control. Really tough ride.

1 flash info (44 - Kogure Hikaru / Luhtinen Topi): It's raining so it is quite slippery, I really enjoyed. Quite good feeling.
01. 08. 2024 22:21
01. 08. 2024 21:21 CET
1 flash info (43 - Korhola Benjamin / Virtanen Sebastian): It's really nice, last year I won my class but this time it will not be the target. I was not expecting it to be that slippery, we were sliding all the way! It's nice, feels nice and tomorrow the rally really starts.
01. 08. 2024 22:21
01. 08. 2024 21:21 CET
1 flash info (41 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): Target is for a good result, but also no enemies and to keep quite good level in the competition and have fun also. That is a very important point. It started raining and it is very slippery, all the drivers in front were in the dry so we've lost quite a lot. Tomorrow the real race starts and hopefully we can have good time.
01. 08. 2024 22:20
01. 08. 2024 21:20 CET
1 flash info (40 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): The challenges are different now, still we have to push and show what we can do. Stages are really nice but we have to go flat out and take some risks there, as that is the only way we can push.
01. 08. 2024 22:20
01. 08. 2024 21:20 CET
1 flash info (37 - Yamamoto Yuki / Salminen Marko): It's really amazing, bit more faster than last year and much faster than this year. I am excited about it and looking forward to tomorrow.
01. 08. 2024 22:20
01. 08. 2024 21:20 CET
1 flash info (35 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): It's incredible, to see so many people, to see how much people are enjoying this is fantastic, highlight of the year for sure.
01. 08. 2024 22:20
01. 08. 2024 21:20 CET
1 flash info (34 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Pascaud Loris): Very unlucky for us, this time we have the rain, in Poland we opened it. It is like that, it's ok, we carry on.
01. 08. 2024 22:19
01. 08. 2024 21:19 CET
1 flash info (38 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): It will be a weekend of discovery that's for sure, it is so difficult to realise on the recce the line. Already and on shakedown, I realised how fast it was and how little grip there was.
01. 08. 2024 22:19
01. 08. 2024 21:19 CET
1 flash info (30 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): In was surprised because I watched RallyTV before and it was not so slippery. I had some understeer at the start, nearly went into a wall! We're looking forward to tomorrow.
01. 08. 2024 22:19
01. 08. 2024 21:19 CET
1 flash info (28 - Virves Robert / Lesk Aleks): It was much more slippery than I expected.
01. 08. 2024 22:19
01. 08. 2024 21:19 CET
1 flash info (27 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): This was quite tricky when it is slippery in places, let's see. Of course we want to fight in the top places, proper rally style.
01. 08. 2024 22:18
01. 08. 2024 21:18 CET
1 flash info (31 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): It is quite slippery, but it is okay. Last year we broke a rear arm here, the run is still so long. We are here and tomorrow, the proper race starts.
01. 08. 2024 22:18
01. 08. 2024 21:18 CET
1 flash info (23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): Very tricky, I don't know if it was raining a bit more but I was trying to make the corners and the car was just not turning. It was very, very slippery!
01. 08. 2024 22:18
01. 08. 2024 21:18 CET
1 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Difficult to say, I don't know what conditions were like for Solberg. Everyone knows it's not something to expect for the next days because we need to prepare for the fast roads not the square corners.
01. 08. 2024 22:17
01. 08. 2024 21:17 CET
1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a good start, but the real stuff starts tomorrow. We are looking forward, it was a difficult shakedown for us this morning and we had some problems with the car. Hopefully tomorrow everything is working like it should be.
01. 08. 2024 22:17
01. 08. 2024 21:17 CET
1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I'm looking forward to it, I don't really know what to expect, where we're going to be. It's an incredible rally, incredibly challenging but really fun at the same time. Let's see for tomorrow.
01. 08. 2024 22:17
01. 08. 2024 21:17 CET
1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): A lot of confidence in the car and everything going on is what it will take, but we're here to do our best and enjoy the weekend.
01. 08. 2024 22:17
01. 08. 2024 21:17 CET
1 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I always have a chance when we start the rally so I believe in my chance tomorrow and we'll see what we can do. There are a lot of nice stages, we'll see what we can do on the road and with the weather.
01. 08. 2024 20:46
01. 08. 2024 19:46 CET
1 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): That was really slippery, we were searching for the grip. It is really good to start, we know we are in Finland and tomorrow will be different, but we are looking forward to it.
01. 08. 2024 20:46
01. 08. 2024 19:46 CET
1 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): That is fine that Katsuta was quicker, this is always a tricky stage to start the rally and it felt narrower in places. I just wanted to get it done, we are through and tomorrow the rally starts. It is such an exciting rally to do. Tomorrow is a big day.
01. 08. 2024 20:46
01. 08. 2024 19:46 CET
1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Kalle and I are local here so we know every corner, every cutting and every step. We just double checked! I hope we did a good job of the stage and we will go flat out tomorrow.
01. 08. 2024 20:45
01. 08. 2024 19:45 CET
1 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I didn't expect there to be some dirt so we ran wide and the exit was very poor, lucky I checked on the recce that the exit was empty. It was not on purpose but I tried to attack this corner. It was stupid!
01. 08. 2024 20:45
01. 08. 2024 19:45 CET
1 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's a fun stage for the atmosphere and for the spectator, but with a Rally1 car it is quite narrow, sometimes the grip was there, sometimes not, but tomorrow is a completely different story.
01. 08. 2024 20:45
01. 08. 2024 19:45 CET
1 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Very special moment, always nice atmosphere here on the Harju stage but I am not sure how much I was enjoying due to the condition, 500hp and the power but there we go, we are excited for tomorrow.
01. 08. 2024 20:45
01. 08. 2024 19:45 CET
1 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): That's weird, I just took it easy. Didn't wore my tyres enough at the start and I was way too careful on the first bit, but second lap was decent.
01. 08. 2024 20:44
01. 08. 2024 19:44 CET
1 flash info (24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): It's yeehaw again! A nice stage, quite slippery in some places but very good grip in some places. It was an enjoyable drive.
01. 08. 2024 20:44
01. 08. 2024 19:44 CET
1 flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): I was a little bit surprised how slippery it was in a couple of places, but not too bad. We had fun in there.
01. 08. 2024 20:19
01. 08. 2024 19:19 CET
1 flash info (32 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): I'm not the master of super special stages, but the grip was very weird, I was a bit too careful on the braking but luckily we are here.
01. 08. 2024 20:19
01. 08. 2024 19:19 CET
1 flash info (26 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): If it stays like that then I'll be happy because I suck at this stage! I had a clean run, but I'll always hate this stage. The rest of the weekend will be the best weekend of the year, but I hate this one. At least we're done with it.
01. 08. 2024 20:19
01. 08. 2024 19:19 CET
1 flash info (29 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): Another big weekend ahead, it's like Christmas Eve tonight. Hopefully we'll get some sleep and wake up happy tomorrow morning.
01. 08. 2024 20:18
01. 08. 2024 19:18 CET
1 flash info (39 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): Even the last generation is still here, we have the young generation, the challenge generation and me and Juho Hänninen!. It's a great car, great product and great experience. I have to get to the close, so let's see if we can beat the young boys. Very excited to be here.

SHAKEDOWN Elfyn Evans and Sébastien Ogier were both penalised following incorrect procedure in virtual chicane on shakedown stage.
01. 08. 2024 14:32
01. 08. 2024 13:32 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): Feeling quite good, we tried to make a big jump just to see how the car is over the longer, bigger ones but the feeling is good and hopefully we can do well. The car, seems to be landing on it's nose a bit, but we'll take care of it. We'll have some fun.
01. 08. 2024 14:32
01. 08. 2024 13:32 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): That is quite my feeling now! It is absolutely amazing to be here! I think we'll enjoy the weekend and drive as fast as we can. There were so many people on the road in the forest so we'll use that as a big boost and keep going.
01. 08. 2024 14:32
01. 08. 2024 13:32 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): Very fun stage, lots of jumps, just getting into the rhythm of the rally. I'm just trying to build my speed as it is my first time here in a Rally2 car so let's see how it goes.
01. 08. 2024 14:32
01. 08. 2024 13:32 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I watched the video of WRC cars, we did it in previous years and we know it is possible to go fast.
01. 08. 2024 14:31
01. 08. 2024 13:31 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): Always impressive when you come back here, it is not natural road for me but we are here for work. For sure the recce is not easy, lots of muddy sections.
01. 08. 2024 14:31
01. 08. 2024 13:31 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It is amazing, Ruuhimäki is such an iconic stage and I never did it before! It is so cool with a big jump, really slippery. You have to focus a bit on the driving to get the stage. I never did Ouninpöhja but when I looked at my dad's onboard 100 million times, it's magical to do it in person.
01. 08. 2024 14:31
01. 08. 2024 13:31 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Quite a lot of smiles, it is really amazing. I need to work to make the driving more clean and have a better flow, but we are enjoying a lot and it is the best thing in rally you can do. There is a lot of learning to do, the competition is so high and the comparison is a little bit silly to do, but I think the improvement will come.
01. 08. 2024 14:30
01. 08. 2024 13:30 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Really looking forward to the rally, with the shakedown it is only a small taste of what it is like so we are looking forward to tomorrow. Here there are some big jumps with some very fast corners where you need to commit.
01. 08. 2024 14:30
01. 08. 2024 13:30 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It was not too bad, I thought on the last rally that the feeling is fine so we cannot really trust that. I don't know what others said but it was a bit slippery. Ouninpöhja is top, really top stage.
01. 08. 2024 14:30
01. 08. 2024 13:30 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I need to jump a lot of the jumps in here! Quite okay, quite slippery in some places but quite good fun. Longest jumps every jump is the target!
01. 08. 2024 14:30
01. 08. 2024 13:30 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's really cool to be in the home rally finally, it is the highlight of the season for sure. It is not going to be an easy one and we are missing the result from here.
01. 08. 2024 14:29
01. 08. 2024 13:29 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I didn't expect the car to land on the nose after a jump, we just had a call from air traffic control, there was an unidentified vehicle in there but don't worry, it was only us!
01. 08. 2024 14:29
01. 08. 2024 13:29 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's been a while, very excited, lots of nice stages and Ouninpöhja is back so I am looking forward to it. It is always something magical and it is the biggest rollercoaster you can drive in a rally car!
01. 08. 2024 14:29
01. 08. 2024 13:29 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It looks like a really nice rally, looking forward to it. It looks like it could be low-grip conditions. We want to go for the win, the weather makes it a bit more realistic.
01. 08. 2024 14:28
01. 08. 2024 13:28 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It is a very challenging one as well, you can drive here as much as you want, it never gets easier. You can drive in Estonia, Latvia, Poland, they are all different. You need the ultimate precision.
