12. 05. 2024 14:34 CET |
22 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): One more time, nothing against being tied with Markku Alen because he is a legend. I heard for many years 'when will you beat this record.' Not a great weekend for the whole team, but we go again and it was a good rally for us. |
12. 05. 2024 13:34
12. 05. 2024 14:34 CET |
22 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's been a demanding weekend but we tried our best, normally it doesn't work out like this in rallying if you go full attack, but this weekend it paid off. We've improved the pace and everything. |
12. 05. 2024 13:34
12. 05. 2024 14:34 CET |
22 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had a really clean run, I tried to push as hard as I could but my tyres weren't the best. Really nice stage! Thanks to the team for a reliable car. Before I forget, happy mothers day to my mum and my wife, we have two beautiful children and I'm proud of them all. |
12. 05. 2024 13:34
12. 05. 2024 14:34 CET |
22 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's good points in the bag for now, we have lost one, maybe two positions in the championship. It was good practice to open the road for the first few days. Really happy, the pace has been coming every day and we're really happy with the car and the team. Stay classy WRC, I'm Adrien Fourmaux! |
12. 05. 2024 13:33
12. 05. 2024 14:33 CET |
22 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Today was difficult, the first two days was fine. With the conditions this morning we didn't want to make a mistake. We were really out of the pace. I am happy to arrive at the end. I will see you in Sardinia. |
12. 05. 2024 13:33
12. 05. 2024 14:33 CET |
22 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's a huge disappointment, yesterday. I lost a very important person in my family on Monday. It was very difficult to focus. My family is fighting so I had to fight as well. I wanted to achieve a good result for him. Hopefully next time. |
12. 05. 2024 13:33
12. 05. 2024 14:33 CET |
22 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's not possible to win the stage, much more loose than I was expecting. I really pushed hard and did everything I could. I'd like to get a few points but the cleaning doesn't help. Big thanks to the team and sorry for them for yesterday. Now it's time for summer holiday and to enjoy that. |
12. 05. 2024 13:32
12. 05. 2024 14:32 CET |
22 | (36 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): Thank you, we've been working quite a lot and we are slowly getting there. We need to improve much more, we want to see what we can do for Sardinia. It's been a long week and very tough, but a great result considering everything. |
12. 05. 2024 13:32
12. 05. 2024 14:32 CET |
22 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I am a bit disappointed, for sure when you can fight for the win and you finish fifth it is not easy to say in your head 'it's a good weekend', but it is a reference weekend for me and the car on gravel. Sometimes we are good on the first day and not second, but now we can fight ultra fast. I think I am a bit behind Oliver but we need to work for more and we will see. |
12. 05. 2024 13:32
12. 05. 2024 14:32 CET |
22 | (29 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): It has been an incredible weekend! For me it is like a win, I have to thank everyone who has been with me, family, team, sponsors - obrigado! |
12. 05. 2024 13:32
12. 05. 2024 14:32 CET |
22 | (38 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): It's been unbelievable, to be in sight of a WRC2 win is incredible itself but fair play to Jan for the win. A first podium in WRC2 so definitely something to celebrate. |
12. 05. 2024 13:31
12. 05. 2024 14:31 CET |
22 | (28 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): It will be a long wait now, we just need to wait, I give everything in there. I hope to get my result, but we will see. First win for the Toyota Rally2 and the first Spaniard to do it, I want to thank everybody from my team, I couldn't have done it without you! |
12. 05. 2024 13:31
12. 05. 2024 14:31 CET |
22 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I think we can go much faster in this car, if we find the right things we can be a really top team. I was doing smooth driving, not super risky. It's funny, they are in the fight and have the pressure, I feel no pressure! |
12. 05. 2024 13:29
12. 05. 2024 14:29 CET |
22 | Starting order: Gryazin, Solans, McErlean, Joona, Rossel, Zaldivar, Rovanperä, Katsuta, Evans, Sordo, Fourmaux, Neuville, Tänak, Ogier |
12. 05. 2024 13:30
12. 05. 2024 14:30 CET |
21 | (24 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): accident in SS 21 |
12. 05. 2024 13:28
12. 05. 2024 14:28 CET |
21 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): You can get excited for a Wolf Power Stage battle, but we will try and control the gap obviously. |
12. 05. 2024 13:28
12. 05. 2024 14:28 CET |
21 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Let's see, it will be tight on Fafé. I felt a bit better this time than the previous time. |
12. 05. 2024 13:28
12. 05. 2024 14:28 CET |
21 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The rally is not over, one more stage to go. We are trying to get maximum points from today. I feel okay in the car today, I'm trying to keep the rhythm. A bit of attack on Wolf Power Stage, we will see. |
12. 05. 2024 13:27
12. 05. 2024 14:27 CET |
21 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Need to see the times. Still foggy in places but not like this morning. |
12. 05. 2024 13:27
12. 05. 2024 14:27 CET |
21 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I am happy with the pace in that stage. Definitely it was quite demanding this morning with the weather and it was really sandy. There was bedrock in the road and it was rougher than expected but it is quite nice. |
12. 05. 2024 13:27
12. 05. 2024 14:27 CET |
21 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Evans into EV mode 17.8km into the stage, as issues persist for the Welshman in Portugal. It appears to be a temperature issue in his Toyota GR Yaris Rally1. |
12. 05. 2024 13:26
12. 05. 2024 14:26 CET |
21 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Hopefully the next one we can get the hybrid back, it's okay. I'll try to push on the Power Stage if I have a hybrid. |
12. 05. 2024 13:26
12. 05. 2024 14:26 CET |
21 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was okay, the middle part of the stage was rough on the tyres but the last part was quite soft. Nothing too big of a surprise, but all good. |
12. 05. 2024 13:26
12. 05. 2024 14:26 CET |
21 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): accident in SS 21 |
12. 05. 2024 13:25
12. 05. 2024 14:25 CET |
20 | (24 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): No not perfect. It was still so foggy, I was a bit careful and I could've been faster over the jump. We'll see for the second pass. |
12. 05. 2024 13:24
12. 05. 2024 14:24 CET |
20 | (26 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): t's always one of the most special stages of the calendar. Unfortunately we had a rear right puncture on the previous one so it was quite tricky. |
12. 05. 2024 13:24
12. 05. 2024 14:24 CET |
20 | (40 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): I've done this stage many times and it's still beautiful. I have good memories from this jump, once I did it twice in a stage! Good stage. |
12. 05. 2024 13:23
12. 05. 2024 14:23 CET |
20 | (27 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): Quite tricky because of the fog. Same engine problem as all weekend. |
12. 05. 2024 13:23
12. 05. 2024 14:23 CET |
20 | (36 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): We need to be clever, we are in a good position for good championship points so we will try and keep it like this and see what happens. |
12. 05. 2024 13:23
12. 05. 2024 14:23 CET |
20 | (29 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): It was a nice stage, we did an okay jump so there was fun for the spectators. In the middle there was a high level of fog so we had to slow down but otherwise okay. |
12. 05. 2024 13:22
12. 05. 2024 14:22 CET |
20 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It's not easy for sure when you're fighting for nothing. There is a lot of fog, so not a lot of visibility. This morning there was a mistake from the team. It's like that. It is difficult to keep positive. If you said before the start we can fight with Škoda and I am positive because it is a first gravel event, but it is hard. |
12. 05. 2024 13:22
12. 05. 2024 14:22 CET |
20 | (38 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): It's good racing now. It's been a good mornings work for us. The second pass is gonna have to be nice and tidy. We started with four new tyres, he started with two. It's WRC Portugal, you have to play the game sometimes. |
12. 05. 2024 13:22
12. 05. 2024 14:22 CET |
20 | (28 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): I think it will be very difficult. I am pushing as hard as I can but today we only used two new tyres on the rear. I am pushing flat out but we will see. We will push to the end. |
12. 05. 2024 13:21
12. 05. 2024 14:21 CET |
20 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I didn't hit anything, I need to check. I made a few mistakes, I like this stage but I am fighting with the car a bit on this stage. I did my best but I feel that we are not fast enough. |
12. 05. 2024 13:21
12. 05. 2024 14:21 CET |
20 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): With the fog it is not completely relaxing to drive so let's hope the second loop will be better. |
12. 05. 2024 13:20
12. 05. 2024 14:20 CET |
20 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was getting surprisingly difficult at the top, but it seems as though it is moving at the moment. |
12. 05. 2024 13:20
12. 05. 2024 14:20 CET |
20 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's not easy with the fog. We know the stage quite well but we were missing some distance, generally a good run through. I had no time to watch out for people but I guess there are plenty! |
12. 05. 2024 13:20
12. 05. 2024 14:20 CET |
20 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It is difficult when you can't see the road on the fast section, and in a small corner when you need to go on an exact point. This is how it is. |
12. 05. 2024 13:19
12. 05. 2024 14:19 CET |
20 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I didn't take too much risk at the end to avoid a mistake. You can't imagine what we are leaving because of the fog, you just have to trust the pace note. We need to get points for the championship so we need to do a good Wolf Power Stage. |
12. 05. 2024 13:19
12. 05. 2024 14:19 CET |
20 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We need to try and get what we can out of the day. It's very difficult visibility and the grip is much lower than expected here, so not easy. |
12. 05. 2024 13:19
12. 05. 2024 14:19 CET |
20 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Very tricky, very thick fog. The stage before was very new for everyone so it levels the performance. |
12. 05. 2024 13:19
12. 05. 2024 14:19 CET |
20 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Kalle is trying to focus on something else, I have to push and try not to lose too much time to the other drivers on the Sunday points. Big shame for the hybrid at the moment, but we have to push. |
12. 05. 2024 13:18
12. 05. 2024 14:18 CET |
20 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's clear that today there is too much cleaning for us to drive for the day points. We're just saving the tyres for the Power Stage hence why we were a bit slow in there. Yesterday was bad, but these things happen. It shouldn't, sorry for the team but we'll try and do what we can today. |
12. 05. 2024 13:18
12. 05. 2024 14:18 CET |
20 | The iconic Fafé stage is shrouded in fog, making conditions extremely difficult for our drivers. |
12. 05. 2024 13:24
12. 05. 2024 14:24 CET |
19 | (26 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): puncture |
12. 05. 2024 13:17
12. 05. 2024 14:17 CET |
19 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It's not a perfect weekend, but it is like that. On the last rally I said we are a team and that doesn't change after one week. I think we are very strong, we need to keep focus for the rest of the events. It is sad for the championship, but we had a good rally, a good team behind me. Stay smiling. |
12. 05. 2024 13:17
12. 05. 2024 14:17 CET |
19 | (38 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): Race on! It was okay, I thought we struggled in places. Seems like a tricky stage. We keep pushing on. It is quite difficult, especially the high speed into the slow speed sections, there isn't much braking points. |
12. 05. 2024 13:15
12. 05. 2024 14:15 CET |
19 | (28 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): I don't know what McErlean is doing, we are trying to push hard. I have a strange noise in the car, it is a bit disturbing. We need to push and keep going. |
12. 05. 2024 13:15
12. 05. 2024 14:15 CET |
19 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It feels good on the first part, but when the last part came with slow corners and the slippery part, we tried to push but the car was going sideways too much. |
12. 05. 2024 13:15
12. 05. 2024 14:15 CET |
19 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): What kind of time? Sounds good. Difficult, I was watching the live and saw the fog. I was thinking it would get better but there is more fog than the first cars. |
12. 05. 2024 13:14
12. 05. 2024 14:14 CET |
19 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Seb is quicker. Nothing I can do, I finished the stage already. Let's carry on. All OK. |
12. 05. 2024 13:14
12. 05. 2024 14:14 CET |
19 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage but I got into the fog in the middle and lost a bit of speed. We can be satisfied with the rhythm. The car works well, but the fog is moving a lot. It's not easy. |
12. 05. 2024 13:13
12. 05. 2024 14:13 CET |
19 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Just very foggy and I was really bad, the car was understeering a lot. It was so difficult to drive like this. The car is all good. |
12. 05. 2024 13:13
12. 05. 2024 14:13 CET |
19 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I tried to do a good stage but lost a lot of time at the end because we had an issue with the intercom and I couldn't hear Alex Coria. With the weather we have, I should've gone mushroom picking! |
12. 05. 2024 13:12
12. 05. 2024 14:12 CET |
19 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Bit of a surprise, but we'll take it. After the rhythm we had yesterday, I didn't expect it to be so good. |
12. 05. 2024 13:12
12. 05. 2024 14:12 CET |
19 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's so narrow, you don't have a much different line to the others. You're just trying not to get too close to the edge but I saw sometimes they were going near the mountains and the barriers. It's what you need to do when you are fighting for tenths of seconds. |
12. 05. 2024 13:12
12. 05. 2024 14:12 CET |
19 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay, no hybrid this stage so not nice. It's a good stage. [Hybrid is] a problem. |
12. 05. 2024 13:11
12. 05. 2024 14:11 CET |
19 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Thanks to the team for making the car 100 percent today. A lot of fog in the beginning of the stage, it is difficult to know if it is moving. You can see sometimes it is there and sometimes not. Not easy being the first car in! |
12. 05. 2024 13:11
12. 05. 2024 14:11 CET |
19 | Plenty of mist and fog hanging around throughout the Cabeceiras de Basto stage, with a little drizzle to spice things up. |
11. 05. 2024 22:32
11. 05. 2024 23:32 CET |
18 | (54 - Salvi Diogo / Magalhães Carlos): personal reasons after SS 18 |
11. 05. 2024 21:48
11. 05. 2024 22:48 CET |
18 | (50 - Neto Paulo / Mota Nuno): health issues after SS 18 |
11. 05. 2024 20:46
11. 05. 2024 21:46 CET |
18 | Stage continues. |
11. 05. 2024 20:36
11. 05. 2024 21:36 CET |
18 | Stage was stopped because car no. 60 needs ambulance after jump. |
11. 05. 2024 20:34
11. 05. 2024 21:34 CET |
18 | (60 - Alonso Daniel / Lopez Alejandro): health issues in SS 18 |
11. 05. 2024 20:28
11. 05. 2024 21:28 CET |
18 | (50 - Neto Paulo / Mota Nuno): t was a big jump, we were not expecting that. |
11. 05. 2024 20:27
11. 05. 2024 21:27 CET |
18 | (40 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): We were discussing with Armindo Araújo it is just like old times - we were fighting together in 2009 for the PWRC title. It's a good feeling, you see so many fans and it is great. |
11. 05. 2024 20:27
11. 05. 2024 21:27 CET |
18 | (41 - Araújo Armindo / Ramalho Luís): It's fantastic. Yu can see all the people love rally. It is fantastic to race at home. |
11. 05. 2024 20:27
11. 05. 2024 21:27 CET |
18 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): In the afternoon we probably had better rhythm, especially in the ruts. Quite a solid day compared to yesterday. I'm not sure we have the tools to match Toyota but generally, I don't think we did a bad job today. |
11. 05. 2024 20:25
11. 05. 2024 21:25 CET |
18 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's been a good day, a tricky one. We didn't expect so many things happening today, on Toyota's side it was not the perfect day. We have to try and finish the job tomorrow now. |
11. 05. 2024 20:25
11. 05. 2024 21:25 CET |
18 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Tomorrow is another day, we need to continue pushing and driving. I'm trying with some hard tyres and I didn't expect that grip but it's okay. |
11. 05. 2024 20:24
11. 05. 2024 21:24 CET |
18 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): If somebody would've told us on Thursday that we would be third on Saturday evening, I wouldn't have believed it. It feels great to be honest, after a difficult day. Was really enjoyable here so many people around. That's what we like to see. |
11. 05. 2024 20:22
11. 05. 2024 21:22 CET |
18 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's really good to finish the day in a super special like that, with the atmosphere, the crowd - it's so unique. It's been difficult for us to sweep the roads, but it's good to get the experience. Really positive. |
11. 05. 2024 20:22
11. 05. 2024 21:22 CET |
18 | (36 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): The stage is quite nice, a different kind of engine in both cars but still lots of fun. We tried not to lose too much time. |
11. 05. 2024 20:20
11. 05. 2024 21:20 CET |
18 | (29 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): I have to be happy about today, we had a puncture on Amarante but we didn't lose so much time. There was a huge atmosphere. Thank you to every Portuguese fan. It is always a pleasure to drive. |
11. 05. 2024 20:20
11. 05. 2024 21:20 CET |
18 | (27 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): This was a good end to the day. Long and difficult day. |
11. 05. 2024 20:19
11. 05. 2024 21:19 CET |
18 | (28 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): It's been absolutely amazing, we are leading WRC2 and it's been really consistent. It's been a perfect day and tomorrow we need to keep pushing because it is still a long way to go. |
11. 05. 2024 20:16
11. 05. 2024 21:16 CET |
18 | (38 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): Yeah tyres are absolutely done and our setup isn't too suited to these asphalt stages. Reset tonight and big push tomorrow. |

18 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): The stage is nice for the spectator. It's okay for the driver, for the atmosphere and to finish the day with that is good. |
11. 05. 2024 20:15
11. 05. 2024 21:15 CET |
18 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Next day will be completely different, I am still trying to keep pressure on the guys behind to help Rossel. This stage is difficult, we do not have the setup for asphalt. |
11. 05. 2024 20:15
11. 05. 2024 21:15 CET |
18 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We had an issue in the previous stage, at least we end the day and tomorrow can be better. Amazing to see the atmosphere here, I never did Lousada so it's great. |
11. 05. 2024 20:15
11. 05. 2024 21:15 CET |
18 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Pretty incredible atmosphere, great to see so many people here supporting the rally. Was always going to be a difficult day, we'll see what we can do tomorrow. |
11. 05. 2024 20:31
11. 05. 2024 21:31 CET |
17 | Stage was cancelled. |
11. 05. 2024 20:31
11. 05. 2024 21:31 CET |
17 | (35 - Meeke Kris / Loudon Stuart): Stage was stopped because of accident of car no. 35. |
11. 05. 2024 20:14
11. 05. 2024 21:14 CET |
17 | (35 - Meeke Kris / Loudon Stuart): accident in SS 17 |
11. 05. 2024 20:14
11. 05. 2024 21:14 CET |
17 | (28 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): The entry list was huge, I have to say that I saw so many drivers that could win this rally. I think the key for us is we have been really clever, we have no mkistakes and a good tyre choice and now we are here in this position. |
11. 05. 2024 20:13
11. 05. 2024 21:13 CET |
17 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): We are changing the car all the time, also changing driving style. Sometimes it is working, sometimes it is not. There are different philosophies and I need to understand how they all work. For now, the position is quite good. Let's see for tomorrow. |
11. 05. 2024 20:13
11. 05. 2024 21:13 CET |
17 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): Not easy for sure this afternoon, let's see for tomorrow, we'll keep up the pressure. The plan is to fight back but the guys are very fast today, tomorrow we have very tricky stages. Fafé a lot of people know very well, but the first one is very tricky. We'll see what happens with the tyres tomorrow, we think we'll stick with the softs. |
11. 05. 2024 20:13
11. 05. 2024 21:13 CET |
17 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's good to be in the lead, so far it has been a clean day for us, so we need to finish well on the super special now. |
11. 05. 2024 20:13
11. 05. 2024 21:13 CET |
17 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I would say if it is a clean day tomorrow, we have a chance. |
11. 05. 2024 20:12
11. 05. 2024 21:12 CET |
17 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Very bad... |
11. 05. 2024 20:12
11. 05. 2024 21:12 CET |
17 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): So far it has been a good weekend for us, today was a bit more challenging. One more stage to go, hopefully we end up on the podium and we can score a couple of extra points. |
11. 05. 2024 20:11
11. 05. 2024 21:11 CET |
17 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We wanted a good push on Sordo today, but we have lost too much time this morning. We wanted to stay close in case anything happens we can take a position. We have had a good day to be fair. |
11. 05. 2024 20:11
11. 05. 2024 21:11 CET |
17 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We've got to see what is possible, the confidence isn't as high as we'd like it to be after the first couple of days but we have to try and see whats possible. |
11. 05. 2024 20:10
11. 05. 2024 21:10 CET |
17 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I have dust in the car because we have a problem. It is not fun to drive. We're driving road mode. |
11. 05. 2024 17:48
11. 05. 2024 18:48 CET |
16 | (38 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): We tried to take it easy in there especially over the rocks. We've had a good day so far. You have to use your eyes because if you hit a rock you're as good as gone. Today has been awesome there's no doubting that. |
11. 05. 2024 17:48
11. 05. 2024 18:48 CET |
16 | (28 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): It looks like the strategy is working now, we crossed with two hard, two soft tyres. I have to say thank you to my engineer and team. We need to see for tomorrow, we have better tyres now. It's a long way to go. |
11. 05. 2024 17:47
11. 05. 2024 18:47 CET |
16 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): No, not happy. Every time we change something. On this stage I expect better feelings but the road changed from the first pass. Every time I tried to push somewhere I made a mistake so I cannot find the feeling driving on this stage. |
11. 05. 2024 17:47
11. 05. 2024 18:47 CET |
16 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I want to keep my tyre, it's too soft for this one. I have six soft - it's completely crazy. |
11. 05. 2024 17:25
11. 05. 2024 18:25 CET |
16 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's very hot, we need to run. Sounds good. |
11. 05. 2024 17:23
11. 05. 2024 18:23 CET |
16 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): For some reason the engine was pushing so hard this stage, so I was not able to protect the tyres so it was a difficult stage. |
11. 05. 2024 17:20
11. 05. 2024 18:20 CET |
16 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): The tyres I was looking at because I was driving clean, I don't want to break any tyres. It's a very difficult job for the weather guys to predict the weather. At the end, it wasn't a bad choice to have the soft at the rear. |
11. 05. 2024 17:17
11. 05. 2024 18:17 CET |
16 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's far too hot for those tyres. We were expecting rain, but there is no sign of any rain. I was punishing these tyres all the way to the end of the last stage. It's not good. |
11. 05. 2024 17:15
11. 05. 2024 18:15 CET |
16 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's not enough to catch Sordo, I just wanted to push a little bit to let him know we are here. We definitely needed four hards for that stage, but it's like that. |
11. 05. 2024 17:14
11. 05. 2024 18:14 CET |
16 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Pretty sandy, lots of trepidation with the rock face coming through. It's very difficult to tell if the stage required all hards, the stage didn't feel too hybrid. |
11. 05. 2024 17:14
11. 05. 2024 18:14 CET |
16 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We were longer in the car and the heat builds up. Again, there was a problem like this morning so at least we got to see Portugal. When you are slow it seems so rough. |
11. 05. 2024 16:51
11. 05. 2024 17:51 CET |
15 | (57 - Lafay Pierre / Quartini Charlyne): accident in SS 15 |
11. 05. 2024 16:23
11. 05. 2024 17:23 CET |
15 | (40 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): It's great, we are enjoying the new stuff. Every stage is better and better, the tyre choice was not the best this morning but we are back on the softs so it's getting better. |
11. 05. 2024 16:23
11. 05. 2024 17:23 CET |
15 | (24 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I hate to say 'what if this happened or didn't happen', but the pace is there so it could've been a really good day for us. |
11. 05. 2024 16:23
11. 05. 2024 17:23 CET |
15 | (26 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): A few too many mistakes in the first pass, don't think the car turned in very well. |
11. 05. 2024 16:22
11. 05. 2024 17:22 CET |
15 | (35 - Meeke Kris / Loudon Stuart): I don't think I've ever tried as hard in my life, I shouldn't be doing it at my age! Amarante, the last time I had three or four perfect stages but I was still 17sec off the pace. I gave everything. |
11. 05. 2024 16:22
11. 05. 2024 17:22 CET |
15 | (36 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): The level is quite high, we are trying to be clever. We have a very long stage so we are trying to save the tyres and catch up a bit of time. |
11. 05. 2024 16:22
11. 05. 2024 17:22 CET |
15 | (27 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): Car works better now, but still we lost some time in some places. |
11. 05. 2024 16:22
11. 05. 2024 17:22 CET |
15 | (29 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): It was quite an okay stage, a bit rough rut, the next one is the longest so we have to drive clever but still fast. |
11. 05. 2024 16:09
11. 05. 2024 17:09 CET |
15 | (38 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): There's no point panicking at this stage. We had a clean stage, nothing crazy, we're looking forward to the big one. |
11. 05. 2024 16:09
11. 05. 2024 17:09 CET |
15 | (28 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): We're trying to do our best, we'll see. Hopefully we can fight for the win but I'll do my best and we'll see if it's enough. |
11. 05. 2024 16:09
11. 05. 2024 17:09 CET |
15 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It's better but it is still slippery. We changed the setup, but let's see for Amarante. Better, but I struggled on this one I promise. Also, in the same place where Solberg went out I almost went off, but I just kept it. |
11. 05. 2024 16:08
11. 05. 2024 17:08 CET |
15 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): After Greensmith's crash the plan is to come back to P2, but now it's completely different, we have to push. Let's see, the next one is quite challenging. |
11. 05. 2024 16:08
11. 05. 2024 17:08 CET |
15 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Amarante will be an important one, we have to push. In this stage our car is not working super well, I expect a lot better in this one. |
11. 05. 2024 16:08
11. 05. 2024 17:08 CET |
15 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We didn't do anything special, we've been clean. The grip is quite low. |
11. 05. 2024 16:08
11. 05. 2024 17:08 CET |
15 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Better! I enjoyed a little bit more, the car is moving a little bit more. The places are quite clear. At the moment it is an amazing result for the team so this is the target for the end. |
11. 05. 2024 16:07
11. 05. 2024 17:07 CET |
15 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The position we are, we need to get through and carry on driving without making mistakes. There's nothing to push for so it makes it very challenging. |
11. 05. 2024 16:07
11. 05. 2024 17:07 CET |
15 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I've been enjoying that stage a lot. There is still some slipping but we know that so all I can do is enjoy, it's really nice to drive this car. |
11. 05. 2024 16:07
11. 05. 2024 17:07 CET |
15 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'd say we've made some good steps at least. It's difficult to find the ultimate rhythm in this situation, but it's feeling better. We're playing with a few general aspects of the car, but nothing too special. |
11. 05. 2024 16:07
11. 05. 2024 17:07 CET |
15 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's still so loose, good improvement from us but the road condition is getting difficult for the car. At least we improved the time and the feeling is good. The problem earlier was fuel related but it is sorted now. |
11. 05. 2024 15:31
11. 05. 2024 16:31 CET |
14 | (38 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): Unfortunate for Greensmith as it's a simple error, he probably lost his braking on the overshoot. It's a big afternoon ahead, we have to keep on pushing. |
11. 05. 2024 15:10
11. 05. 2024 16:10 CET |
14 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Greensmith is stuck in a corner. Sorry for him. We do our jobs, still need to work. I was expecting this to be more easy. The ruts are not hard but quite deep. |
11. 05. 2024 15:06
11. 05. 2024 16:06 CET |
14 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): The line of WRC guys is not the same and we lose a lot of traction at the end of the corner, but clean stage. This race is completely crazy. |
11. 05. 2024 15:04
11. 05. 2024 16:04 CET |
14 | (22 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): accident in SS 14 |
11. 05. 2024 15:03
11. 05. 2024 16:03 CET |
14 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): You will see if this is our maximum. There was a lot of sweeping in there. |
11. 05. 2024 15:01
11. 05. 2024 16:01 CET |
14 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The road conditions are really perfect. Nice ruts and everything. I'd like to do much more. It's a sandy road. |
11. 05. 2024 14:57
11. 05. 2024 15:57 CET |
14 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I was okay, better on the first pass with the car in the line. I don't know the time of others. |
11. 05. 2024 14:54
11. 05. 2024 15:54 CET |
14 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): You know Sordo, he will try get past us anyhow. He will try to push and beat us. It's not working as well as yesterday, I don't feel so well today. |
11. 05. 2024 14:54
11. 05. 2024 15:54 CET |
14 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I think everything is possible in Portugal especially on Saturday afternoon. I am trying but we're not at 100 percent so it is difficult to find the balance. The conditions are very different now, the road is rutted. It's quite sketchy sometimes. |
11. 05. 2024 14:54
11. 05. 2024 15:54 CET |
14 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Wasn't the best stage. It's quite a bit more rutted than I expected. |
11. 05. 2024 14:54
11. 05. 2024 15:54 CET |
14 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's still a bit of cleaning, not always the ideal line but better than the morning. It is quite rutted, so if you have the confidence and can hold the line you can have good pace but as we are first on the road, we cannot go faster. |
11. 05. 2024 13:48
11. 05. 2024 14:48 CET |
13 | (71 - Šekuljica Slaven / Petrović Damir): retired in SS 13 |
11. 05. 2024 13:06
11. 05. 2024 14:06 CET |
13 | (55 - Granados Miguel / Martí Marc): accident in SS 13 |
11. 05. 2024 12:45
11. 05. 2024 13:45 CET |
13 | Stage continues. |
11. 05. 2024 12:40
11. 05. 2024 13:40 CET |
13 | Stage is stopped because of accident of car no. 58. |
11. 05. 2024 12:38
11. 05. 2024 13:38 CET |
13 | (58 - Cunha Ernesto / Raimundo Rui): accident in SS 13 |
11. 05. 2024 12:26
11. 05. 2024 13:26 CET |
13 | (28 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): It's too tight! This one was very difficult, the grip was very low and this one was difficult to manage. Lets try and keep a good balance and get to the finish line on the podium. |
11. 05. 2024 12:26
11. 05. 2024 13:26 CET |
13 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I hit a bank twice, almost stopped in one place. I go outside [of the line] and go over the bank somehow. SOmetimes the grip is there but in some places it is difficult. If I try to push more, I will do a mistake so I need to understand how to drive safe and fast. It's mentally difficult but it's rally. |
11. 05. 2024 12:26
11. 05. 2024 13:26 CET |
13 | (22 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The entire stage I was in the dust, I maybe got 2km of clean air before the dust. |
11. 05. 2024 12:21
11. 05. 2024 13:21 CET |
13 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It was a right corner, there was a big rock. |
11. 05. 2024 12:18
11. 05. 2024 13:18 CET |
13 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was a big push on this one, it hasn't been so easy since the beginning of the rally so not easy for us. It's going to be very hot in the second loop so we'll see for it. |
11. 05. 2024 12:15
11. 05. 2024 13:15 CET |
13 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was for 8.5km so we lost 20sec. I was driving really slow to not take it off the rim. We had decent rhythm but it was slowly coming down from the beginning. |
11. 05. 2024 12:15
11. 05. 2024 13:15 CET |
13 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): puncture |
11. 05. 2024 12:15
11. 05. 2024 13:15 CET |
13 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): puncture |
11. 05. 2024 12:15
11. 05. 2024 13:15 CET |
13 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Very slippery, cleaning is also high in there. It will be demanding and difficult. |
11. 05. 2024 12:14
11. 05. 2024 13:14 CET |
13 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The last one was really tricky. The car is not in perfect shape but there is zero grip in there. Plenty of surprises. |
11. 05. 2024 12:14
11. 05. 2024 13:14 CET |
13 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): This morning Sordo wasn't too fast so my plan was to fight with him. We lost too much time in Amarante but we still want to stay close. We are fifth right now so it's positive. |
11. 05. 2024 12:14
11. 05. 2024 13:14 CET |
13 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The morning loop seemed fine, nothing really special. Exceptionally slippery in here, probably the slippest of the loop. Lots of cleaning. |
11. 05. 2024 12:13
11. 05. 2024 13:13 CET |
13 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): The car seems to have fixed itself on the road section. We had issue again 20m before the finish. There is clearly something which we will check in the service. |
11. 05. 2024 12:20
11. 05. 2024 13:20 CET |
12 | (56 - Leckey James / McAuley Stephen): accident in SS 12 |
11. 05. 2024 12:13
11. 05. 2024 13:13 CET |
12 | (28 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): We're trying to do our best, I'm trying to drive as best as I can but trying to stay on the line. You need to keep clean but also push hard. |
11. 05. 2024 12:13
11. 05. 2024 13:13 CET |
12 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Same as last time. Tried some changes with the setup but the rear was on the outside every time. Tried to go slower but not keeping the line. Not changing anything else but I'll see if we improve. |
11. 05. 2024 12:12
11. 05. 2024 13:12 CET |
12 | (22 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Horrible! The car was sliding everywhere so it didn't feel good. Tried to manage the sliding, but there was oversteer. I tried to reduce it as much as I could. |
11. 05. 2024 12:12
11. 05. 2024 13:12 CET |
12 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It's good, a very good stage for me. The car went very well, it's perfect. It's been a long time since we had this feeling on gravel. My team is like my family, we work together all day. Last year we had a very hard time on gravel but we keep focus and now I'm just happy for the team. |
11. 05. 2024 12:12
11. 05. 2024 13:12 CET |
12 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Game on. Nothing new, tyres. It will be quite new if I'm scared of anybody. It's the same. |
11. 05. 2024 12:12
11. 05. 2024 13:12 CET |
12 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Let's see. Like I said, I try all I can. I guess this is the way it is so we need to maximise it. Some places are so sudden or surprising so I never know where the limit is. That's the tricky part. |
11. 05. 2024 12:11
11. 05. 2024 13:11 CET |
12 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I am disappointed, some stages are good like yesterday. It's okay I enjoy this, some stages I like but I am less fast. I try to do my best and enjoy. It's just the throttle. Some types of corners, the long corners and the crest require braking. |

12 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Damage affected us quite a lot. Lots of understeer and in the corner I cannot make the car rotate. I was using a lot of handbrake but I did what I could. Grip changing is tricky and lots of cleaning in places, very tricky to run. |
11. 05. 2024 12:11
11. 05. 2024 13:11 CET |
12 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Not perfect on that one, this time I was struggling. |
11. 05. 2024 12:11
11. 05. 2024 13:11 CET |
12 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We have an engine issue and it was the alternator, so we had to stop and keep the battery but I have no idea what it is. |
11. 05. 2024 12:11
11. 05. 2024 13:11 CET |
12 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It wasn't the feeling we were hoping for, we need to keep working on something. Getting the turning and everything as I want it, yesterday we had nothing at all and now it is coming too early. |
11. 05. 2024 12:10
11. 05. 2024 13:10 CET |
12 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): damaged suspension in SS 12 |

12 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): stopped in stage with technical issues again, continue |

12 | Reports coming in that weather is sunny and clear 27km into the Amarante stage, with damp spots underneath the trees. |
11. 05. 2024 12:06
11. 05. 2024 13:06 CET |
11 | (35 - Meeke Kris / Loudon Stuart): I did this stage earlier this year. We're struggling this weekend. We're a bit of a sword to a gunfight. Our car is very heavy and we're having suspension trouble. We survived, just trying to enjoy it today. I did this stage three months ago in thick fog and black mud. It's rally and it can catch you out any time. |
11. 05. 2024 12:06
11. 05. 2024 13:06 CET |
11 | (36 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): We were driving quite well at the start, but near where Rovanperä and Solberg went off we lost a bit of time. We will improve and keep trying to do our best. |
11. 05. 2024 12:06
11. 05. 2024 13:06 CET |
11 | (36 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): was out of road |
11. 05. 2024 12:05
11. 05. 2024 13:05 CET |
11 | (27 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): I lost control of the braking and we spun. Same engine issues as yesterday so not good. |
11. 05. 2024 12:05
11. 05. 2024 13:05 CET |
11 | (29 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): It was slippery, so we did too carefully. It's great we didn't lose that much time. I saw there were a lot of cars on the road. That's rally, the next one is a very long stage so we'll save our tyres for this one. |
11. 05. 2024 12:05
11. 05. 2024 13:05 CET |
11 | (38 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): That stage was quite tricky, the traction is not so high. The next one is Amarante which is the big one. We did the Amarante one two weeks ago so I hope we'll be alright. |
11. 05. 2024 12:05
11. 05. 2024 13:05 CET |
11 | (28 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): It looks like now we wake up. In the first stage, the feeling was OK but I decided to push on this one. It was pure fun driving the car on this road but let's see if we can push on. |
11. 05. 2024 12:04
11. 05. 2024 13:04 CET |
11 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I see one car outside! A lot of lines which are not on the road, just on the outside. I struggled with the grip, but I had a feeling like on the previous stage. The car feels nice but I struggled with the grip. It's step by step. |
11. 05. 2024 12:04
11. 05. 2024 13:04 CET |
11 | (22 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): To be honest as soon as I saw Oliver Solberg off I struggled to find a rhythm because it would be stupid to push after seeing that. Very long day to go but now it's a two way battle. |
11. 05. 2024 12:03
11. 05. 2024 13:03 CET |
11 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It's crazy. One minute you have two guys leading... it's crazy. It's a short stage but it's so fast. The grip is very low and the stage is very narrow. |
11. 05. 2024 12:03
11. 05. 2024 13:03 CET |
11 | (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): accident in SS 11 |
11. 05. 2024 12:02
11. 05. 2024 13:02 CET |
11 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): accident in SS 11 |
11. 05. 2024 12:02

11 | (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): rolled |
11. 05. 2024 12:02
11. 05. 2024 13:02 CET |
11 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): On the first one it looks like we lost a lot of time. Kalle much more awake than us this morning, we have to keep fighting because all the gaps are super close. There were many difficult areas with lots of braking, tricky stage. |
11. 05. 2024 12:01
11. 05. 2024 13:01 CET |
11 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): rolled |
11. 05. 2024 12:01
11. 05. 2024 13:01 CET |
11 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): There was a spin and I stalled in an other place. Quite frustrating but all OK. Bit more slippery than the first one but some surprises yes. |
11. 05. 2024 12:01
11. 05. 2024 13:01 CET |
11 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): spun |
11. 05. 2024 12:00
11. 05. 2024 13:00 CET |
11 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I try my best, I'm pretty sure it's not the fastest but I look forward to doing it again. |
11. 05. 2024 12:00
11. 05. 2024 13:00 CET |
11 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I don't know the time. It's not bad, 2.8sec down. Really bad at the end, braking, throttle, braking, throttle. I was not on the pace. |
11. 05. 2024 12:00
11. 05. 2024 13:00 CET |
11 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I misjudged the grip with the braking so I went a bit wide, and then on a hairpin I misjudged the grip again. Two mistakes in one stage is not good. |
11. 05. 2024 12:00
11. 05. 2024 13:00 CET |
11 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I was enjoying that but there was so much loose gravel today, it was really slippery. I mkade some changes today and it made it easier. The changes is quite a lot, ride height, dampers. Anything I can do for now. |
11. 05. 2024 11:59
11. 05. 2024 12:59 CET |
11 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): spun |
11. 05. 2024 11:59
11. 05. 2024 12:59 CET |
11 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Just at a slow junction, got caught in the inside line and it spun the car at slow speed. Time lost but no damage. I was very surprised at the beginning just how loose and slippery it was. |
11. 05. 2024 11:59
11. 05. 2024 12:59 CET |
11 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Sweeping, sweeping, sweeping! Never experienced that before. We played with the edge of the road all the time. |
11. 05. 2024 11:58
11. 05. 2024 12:58 CET |
11 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): spun |
11. 05. 2024 11:58
11. 05. 2024 12:58 CET |
10 | (22 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's a nice stage, not much room to make a mistake. Being clean is good through there. |
11. 05. 2024 11:58
11. 05. 2024 12:58 CET |
10 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I think it is okay, I tried to push but I don't know if that is a good thing on these conditions. The grip is not the same, but I am here and the plan is to continue like this. It is not easy because we don't have full confidence. The car is not bad, the driver needs to adapt to the conditions. |
11. 05. 2024 11:58
11. 05. 2024 12:58 CET |
10 | (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was a clean run, pushed a little bit more towards the end as I was a bit careful at the beginning. It's quite slippery and loose, there's no clean line to follow but at least the car is working today and we have power. |
11. 05. 2024 11:57
11. 05. 2024 12:57 CET |
10 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Just drive faster than the others. Let's see, it's only one stage. When the car and setup is better far me, it's quite easier. |
11. 05. 2024 11:57
11. 05. 2024 12:57 CET |
10 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's a fun road but very narrow. It wasn't easy and I was a little bit too careful in places. I need to push more. There is no room for slipping. |
11. 05. 2024 11:57
11. 05. 2024 12:57 CET |
10 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Big day for sure, I expected this one to be quite slippery but it was very good grip. I tried to push yesterday. Just need to focus on this rally and each stage, need to push as much as I can. |
11. 05. 2024 11:57
11. 05. 2024 12:57 CET |
10 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Trying hard for sure, let's see how it works out. We'll try all we can. |
11. 05. 2024 11:56
11. 05. 2024 12:56 CET |
10 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was okay, really narrow stage and a difficult stage for me. |
11. 05. 2024 11:56
11. 05. 2024 12:56 CET |
10 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We have a bit better road position, but it isn't good enough. It's so easy to lean into the ruts and it will get deeper faster. We will see. |
11. 05. 2024 11:56
11. 05. 2024 12:56 CET |
10 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We're gonna try to stay as close as we can to the others but try and enjoy also. Quite different with soft stages at the beginning and then Amarante which will be quite hard. |
11. 05. 2024 11:55
11. 05. 2024 12:55 CET |
10 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Some places it's OK, some places there's still a lot of sand around. It's pretty clear in the stage. |
11. 05. 2024 11:55
11. 05. 2024 12:55 CET |
10 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I expected it to be more damp in the forest, it's a tricky one. Not my favourite one, lots of downhill so you need to be careful not to put too much brake in the speed and also to keep the tyres out the ruts. |
11. 05. 2024 11:55
11. 05. 2024 12:55 CET |
10 | Weather remains warm here in Portugal, with 15 degrees temperatures reported in the air. Fog also hanging around the stage, just 200m in. |

10. 05. 2024 21:50 CET |
9 | (22 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I had a high speed spin, I almost caught it but it just caught the front bumper and took us round. Little disappointing, but we've had a good run. Fortunately I have some mechanics coming to fix starter motor at lunch. |
10. 05. 2024 20:50

9 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I don't know what to say, I want to fight. We will change the settings - maybe tomorrow is the day. |
10. 05. 2024 20:49
10. 05. 2024 21:49 CET |
9 | (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Same problem, in the middle it cut out completely and I thought I lost 10sec. I tried to push in places but I lost a lot of time. |
10. 05. 2024 20:49
10. 05. 2024 21:49 CET |
9 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I think it is not an easy day, but a very good day for us. We work a lot before the rally and to fight with a Škoda here is fantastic. We have two rallies in one tomorrow, it is very loose but I can fight. |
10. 05. 2024 20:49
10. 05. 2024 21:49 CET |
9 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was okay, we lose position, it was never high. I did my best. The road position tomorrow is better than we expected so we can look forward to the day. We are here to drive, so we need to keep going with what we have. We don't like excuses, we just need to drive. |
10. 05. 2024 20:49
10. 05. 2024 21:49 CET |
9 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We learned plenty of stuff, first with the pace notes and improving my setup. Tomorrow we will be opening the road but also part of the learning curve. |
10. 05. 2024 20:48
10. 05. 2024 21:48 CET |
9 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It has been great fun all day, unfortunately the pace has not been where it should be. I couldn't do much more in there, the tyres are very worn. It's only fun if you are winning it, so we'll see for tomorrow. |
10. 05. 2024 20:48
10. 05. 2024 21:48 CET |
9 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Not so easy day, not so nice to lose a position for tomorrow. I will do my best for the rest of the weekend and just try to push. It's quite close now, it's fun so it is nice. |
10. 05. 2024 20:48
10. 05. 2024 21:48 CET |
9 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I had some trouble with the hybrid before this! I think it's nice to finish the day like this, I'm glad the hybrid was working. I'm not sure how I fixed it, just some kind of reset in it. |
10. 05. 2024 20:48
10. 05. 2024 21:48 CET |
9 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The roads have been really nice today, no roughness really and much better than previous years. Not been able to push really. It's nothing to do with road position, yes it started to clean in some places but it's been much nicer than in other years. |
10. 05. 2024 20:47
10. 05. 2024 21:47 CET |
9 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I feel a bit frustrated because we are too far back now for tomorrow, we have the same road position. I am very happy with the pace today, it's been a good day but it is a shame for tomorrow. |
10. 05. 2024 20:47
10. 05. 2024 21:47 CET |
9 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Nothing has gone our way today but we have to keep going, try to learn for Sardinia tomorrow and try to earn some Saturday points. We have to pay the price for a bad Friday. |

8 | (27 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): Long day! Unfortunately all day we've had some engine issues. Stages were quite good, the problem is not so good. Hopefully the guys can fix it. |
10. 05. 2024 20:46
10. 05. 2024 21:46 CET |
8 | (26 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): Puncture after puncture unfortunately. Seems like we can't get through this rally without problems, but it's part of the game so we have to continue. |
10. 05. 2024 20:46
10. 05. 2024 21:46 CET |
8 | (29 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): We have enjoyed our day, really challenging stages. But we have enjoyed it still, especially the rough conditions. |
10. 05. 2024 20:45
10. 05. 2024 21:45 CET |
8 | (22 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): This one was the one I ws trying to save my tyres in, not an easy one for sure. I needed to save my tyres on this one. Maybe flat out on the next one. |
10. 05. 2024 20:45
10. 05. 2024 21:45 CET |
8 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Difficult, but now I have a good tyre choice because the first few stages they were not working. We have better choices for tomorrow, we have a whole spectrum to choose from. We have a setup change to make. I'm not trying to push to make stupid mistakes, but trying to get good times also. |
10. 05. 2024 20:44
10. 05. 2024 21:44 CET |
8 | (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I didn't lose as much in here, but I had three cylinders also. When the stages are faster we don't lose much time so that's good. |
10. 05. 2024 20:44
10. 05. 2024 21:44 CET |
8 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I pushed on the limit. All the time. It's not just the last stage, I tried to take a soft tyre for this one. I think it's not the best choice. |
10. 05. 2024 20:44
10. 05. 2024 21:44 CET |
8 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Quite slippery in the middle of the stage, but for the rest it was okay. I tried my best. |
10. 05. 2024 20:42
10. 05. 2024 21:42 CET |
8 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It was quite rough and rutted, we were a bit too low in ride height on this one so sometimes we were hitting and thrown out of the line. At least we know for next year. |
10. 05. 2024 20:42
10. 05. 2024 21:42 CET |
8 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I can't be any faster with this car. It's not easy, I try to push so hard but we could make a small mistake with the time. Let's see what the next one holds. |
10. 05. 2024 20:41
10. 05. 2024 21:41 CET |
8 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I am pushing a lot for the road position tomorrow. One small mistake, luckily we didn't get a puncture. Keep pushing, the next one should be okay for me. Kalle and I have the same tyre choice so it could be interesting. |
10. 05. 2024 20:41
10. 05. 2024 21:41 CET |
8 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): No hybrid! For half the stage. |
10. 05. 2024 20:41
10. 05. 2024 21:41 CET |
8 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I tried so hard, it's not nice. I need to try hard, but altogether it's not working. I want to be as high as possible for the road position tomorrow. |
10. 05. 2024 20:41

8 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I've been really enjoying it but I'm starting to kill my tyres. I'm sure they're gonna be faster behind, but I'm happy with my drive. It's quite a demanding day to be fair. |
10. 05. 2024 20:36
10. 05. 2024 21:36 CET |
8 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We couldn't write the day really, nothing is going our way. That's how it goes sometimes though. Scott Martin is doing very, very well. Would be better if next time, he could remember the book. |
10. 05. 2024 20:36
10. 05. 2024 21:36 CET |
8 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I was really on it, but it was so loose. We're gonna lose a lot of time in there. |
10. 05. 2024 14:18
10. 05. 2024 15:18 CET |
8 | Stage will be delayed for 15 minutes. |

10. 05. 2024 20:32
10. 05. 2024 21:32 CET |
7 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): On this stage I gave it all, the car was working like hell. Every part of my body was working. |
10. 05. 2024 20:32
10. 05. 2024 21:32 CET |
7 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Depending on what Sordo is doing behind, we are getting closer to him. We have quite a lot of grip so we can push a lot. We did more, but with the cleaning we can do more. |
10. 05. 2024 20:32
10. 05. 2024 21:32 CET |
7 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's tough, we are definitely nowhere near where the car should be. I am fighting all the time, we have understeer and everything so it is making tyre wear worse and worse. |
10. 05. 2024 20:32
10. 05. 2024 21:32 CET |
7 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is a very rough stage, not easy to drive. Had to be careful quite a lot. |
10. 05. 2024 20:32
10. 05. 2024 21:32 CET |
7 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): A little bit better this afternoon. |
10. 05. 2024 20:31
10. 05. 2024 21:31 CET |
7 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was a clean run. No there's been no over-driving at all, it doesn't bring any speed. |
10. 05. 2024 20:31
10. 05. 2024 21:31 CET |
7 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was a really nice stage to drive, the feeling with the car driving in the stage on the downhill is really unique. I am doing my best to stay fighting with the others, so we need to keep going. |
10. 05. 2024 20:31
10. 05. 2024 21:31 CET |
7 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): puncture |
10. 05. 2024 20:29
10. 05. 2024 21:29 CET |
7 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Codriver lost pacenotes, reading only from copy in mobile phone. |

6 | (79 - Cardeira Rafael / Boiça Luis): retired after SS 6 |
10. 05. 2024 20:28
10. 05. 2024 21:28 CET |
6 | (22 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's a very abrasive stage so we're saving tyres maybe, that might be part of it. It's like 32 degrees so I think you can guess which tyres are on. |
10. 05. 2024 20:28
10. 05. 2024 21:28 CET |
6 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): We are trying now, not the best tyre choice. We are using the old tyres to have a better solution for tomorrow. |
10. 05. 2024 20:28
10. 05. 2024 21:28 CET |
6 | (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Some problem with the car, I'm in low revs on three cylinders. Very strange. It's okay sometimes, we'll keep driving but also taking care of the tyres. |
10. 05. 2024 20:27
10. 05. 2024 21:27 CET |
6 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It's not bad, I tried to keep the tyre. It's crazy afternoon for them, let's see. All hard tyres, two soft as well. |
10. 05. 2024 20:26
10. 05. 2024 21:26 CET |
6 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I'm trying hard, I was quite happy with my run. I tried to push, in some places it was bad. We have hard tyres in the front, two soft on the rear. I think we did an amazing time. |
10. 05. 2024 20:26
10. 05. 2024 21:26 CET |
6 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's a bit better, in the beginning I had an impact on the second corner. We had to switch on the engine mapping, but we're improving. |
10. 05. 2024 20:26
10. 05. 2024 21:26 CET |
6 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): With all the conditions, maybe our car is a bit better setup-wise. Still not 100% especially on the rough places I have a lot of understeer. We'll do our best. |
10. 05. 2024 20:26
10. 05. 2024 21:26 CET |
6 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The feeling is a bit different on this one, there is a lack of grip because of the tyres. |
10. 05. 2024 20:26
10. 05. 2024 21:26 CET |
6 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The tyre is helping, but we made some little changes. I feel a bit better now, but we've had better days. I made a change to the setup to stiffen the car control. No risk, no fun! |
10. 05. 2024 20:25
10. 05. 2024 21:25 CET |
6 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's cleaning quite a bit, we were really flat out. We forgot some changes in the lunchtime. |
10. 05. 2024 20:25
10. 05. 2024 21:25 CET |
6 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's quite complicated, the lines are really narrow from the cars before. Sometimes too much in the loose but it's okay, it's a clean stage. |
10. 05. 2024 20:25
10. 05. 2024 21:25 CET |
6 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Pretty difficult, hard to get a good feeling but we'll keep trying. |
10. 05. 2024 20:25
10. 05. 2024 21:25 CET |
6 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was more abrasive and much dryer than this morning, generally for me the wheel is always loose and there is no line after the 2WD cars. We have hard tyres on the car. |
10. 05. 2024 14:18
10. 05. 2024 15:18 CET |
6 | Stage will be delayed for 15 minutes. |

10. 05. 2024 22:39 CET |

5 | (32 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): accident in SS 5 |
10. 05. 2024 12:36
10. 05. 2024 13:36 CET |
5 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): The hybrid system didn't come up before the stage so I did the whole stage without a hybrid. The rear tyre was damaged so I replaced it. |
10. 05. 2024 12:33
10. 05. 2024 13:33 CET |
5 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): This one was very difficult, I was hesitating a lot. Less good than the previous one. The guys in front will go faster but let's just try and improve and see the times. |
10. 05. 2024 12:33
10. 05. 2024 13:33 CET |
5 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's good to finish the run, for everybody it's going to be really tough, but we have to keep pushing so we'll see. Missing a bit of confidence so I could push more but I was making a bit of a mess too much so don't want to change much. |
10. 05. 2024 12:33
10. 05. 2024 13:33 CET |
5 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I can tell you one thing, black car and this heat equals sweat! |
10. 05. 2024 12:24
10. 05. 2024 13:24 CET |
5 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): No idea, intercom cut out somewhere in the stage. We need to change tyres. |
10. 05. 2024 12:23
10. 05. 2024 13:23 CET |
5 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We are taking care of the tyres for the whole loop but we are walking on the end. I am happy with the loop, not a lot of grip at the end but overall happy. We know many things happen on Friday afternoon in Portugal so we just follow our strategy and stay classy, WRC! |
10. 05. 2024 12:23
10. 05. 2024 13:23 CET |
5 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's not going well, feeling is not good in the car. We're limited. |
10. 05. 2024 12:23
10. 05. 2024 13:23 CET |
5 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I stick to my plan all the way through, we were expecting more humid conditions and more grip. After the shakedown the feeling wasn't great but it's good now. The grip is changing a lot and there's obviously a cleaning effect. But we've had a really good morning. |
10. 05. 2024 11:18
10. 05. 2024 12:18 CET |
5 | Start of the stage will be delayed for 14 minutes. |

4 | (52 - Simões Lucas / Cardoso Valter): accident in SS 4 |
10. 05. 2024 11:48
10. 05. 2024 12:48 CET |
4 | (22 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was a good stage, nice and clean. The softs were overheating at the end of that stage but we had a different kind of tyre combination to Solberg, so maybe that helped. |
10. 05. 2024 11:44
10. 05. 2024 12:44 CET |
4 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It was different to the previous one. The tyre wear is different, we've done some changes to the car. It feels more fun. |
10. 05. 2024 11:44
10. 05. 2024 12:44 CET |
4 | (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Very abrasive, you want some tyres left for the next one so it's difficult to say if we're too slow, but it is very tricky to manage the tyres. |
10. 05. 2024 11:44
10. 05. 2024 12:44 CET |
4 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): My driving is good on this one, but sometimes on the long stretch we have no power. Like a pop-off or something like that. We lost the fight for the victory as the time is a big difference. |
10. 05. 2024 11:35
10. 05. 2024 12:35 CET |
4 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I enjoyed this stage a lot! I can do these two stages all day. I am happy with the car, honestly on the first stage it was me. The car is great, I have a good feeling. Hats off to the guys at Hyundai. |
10. 05. 2024 11:35
10. 05. 2024 12:35 CET |
4 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It is a really fun one with a very fast section on top of the mountain and the downhill which is very twisty. It is difficult to hold so much speed in one corner, because then you set yourself up badly for the next one. Let's see for the second pass. |
10. 05. 2024 11:27
10. 05. 2024 12:27 CET |
4 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was better in these conditions, I don't know why but we were struggling with the balance of the car. There was quite a lot of understeer. |
10. 05. 2024 11:27
10. 05. 2024 12:27 CET |
4 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): A bit surprised. The driving was not good. Quite messy, could be much more clean. Good fun! |
10. 05. 2024 11:26
10. 05. 2024 12:26 CET |
4 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I tried, I'm not so happy with the car this morning, it is too lazy for me. We can make adjustments. |
10. 05. 2024 11:26
10. 05. 2024 12:26 CET |
4 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I had a good stage, I am happy with my job this morning. Sometimes I struggle with the lines and want to do a bit more but I go hard of the lines, I can lose tyres. It's good to take some time back to keep us in the fight. A good tyre choice for now, let's see for the last one but should be OK. |
10. 05. 2024 11:26
10. 05. 2024 12:26 CET |
4 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was very difficult for us, I couldn't get the car rotated at all. It was a bit more to the style of the first stage so not a huge surprise. [The tyres] are good. |
10. 05. 2024 11:26
10. 05. 2024 12:26 CET |
4 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was OK. Greater than the cleaning is the tyre wear though. I was surviving! I did what I could but I took out some speed at the end. The tyre was pulling too much and I need them for the next one. I don't know how the wear is, I think it should be fine for the next one. |
10. 05. 2024 11:17
10. 05. 2024 12:17 CET |
4 | Start of the stage will be delayed for 14 minutes. |
10. 05. 2024 11:25
10. 05. 2024 12:25 CET |
3 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): First stage was really bad for me, it was a case of come back or stay at home! First stage was tricky and narrow. |
10. 05. 2024 11:25
10. 05. 2024 12:25 CET |
3 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's only stage where we had a bit of stage knowledge, I think we had better pace. The gap in front is always very close but we need to get closer. I want to push but if I do a mistake then I go further from them. The guys in front have more knowledge though. |
10. 05. 2024 11:25
10. 05. 2024 12:25 CET |
3 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): This was a bit better, still not so good. Don't feel so happy with the car, quite tricky. Let's hope the next loop is a bit better and let's see what we can do. |
10. 05. 2024 11:25
10. 05. 2024 12:25 CET |
3 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): In the very beginning of the stage I made a very big mistake and lost a lot of time, I decided to push more towards the end. I'll try to find more confidence and push more. |
10. 05. 2024 11:24
10. 05. 2024 12:24 CET |
3 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The profile is different and we felt better on this one, but they are faster and we haven't caught them yet. The first one is a bit different, the forest is a bit faster. |
10. 05. 2024 11:24
10. 05. 2024 12:24 CET |
3 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): This one was cleaning, so it was difficult. |
10. 05. 2024 11:24
10. 05. 2024 12:24 CET |
3 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I had a really good downhill, sometimes you think you are fast and you are slow. A lot of cleaning in this one. I had a good stage, I'm happy. |
10. 05. 2024 11:24
10. 05. 2024 12:24 CET |
3 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It seemed to be less of an issue in here, but different character of stage. |
10. 05. 2024 11:24
10. 05. 2024 12:24 CET |
3 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's dry out there, a lot of cleaning especially on the uphill. The grip is better on the downhill, but we're generally struggling on the surface. The car is working well. The surface changes a lot, for the conditions we had, we had a good stage. |
10. 05. 2024 11:17
10. 05. 2024 12:17 CET |
3 | Start of the stage was delayed for 14 minutes. |

10. 05. 2024 12:07 CET |
2 | (23 - López José María / Vázquez David): accident in SS 2 |
10. 05. 2024 11:04
10. 05. 2024 12:04 CET |
2 | (22 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I was struggling a lot in the car, I lost 15sec but I'm sure we'll get it back. |
10. 05. 2024 11:04
10. 05. 2024 12:04 CET |
2 | (23 - López José María / Vázquez David): rolled |
10. 05. 2024 11:04
10. 05. 2024 12:04 CET |
2 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It feels okay, I am trying to experiment the driving in some places because the car is good but I am trying to understand the car itself. I am trying to be more smooth, in some places we were doing mistakes. Maybe we need to change the setup, but the car is good. |
10. 05. 2024 11:03
10. 05. 2024 12:03 CET |
2 | (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Bad rhythm, we see with some other guys behind. I don't look at our times so much at the moment I look at the other cars behind. It's very hard to find the rhythm because it is fast and very slippery. The pace notes are hard to trust I have to say. |
10. 05. 2024 11:03
10. 05. 2024 12:03 CET |
2 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): We think it is not bad, the feeling is quite good. Just have to be cautious on the fast part. My driving is not perfect for sure but it is the first one and it's still long. |
10. 05. 2024 11:03
10. 05. 2024 12:03 CET |
2 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Slippery. Little bit damp, really difficult stage to start the rally. It's OK with the car. We will try to do our best. |
10. 05. 2024 11:03
10. 05. 2024 12:03 CET |
2 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): The first stage is always a bit tricky. We were following the pace notes and they were too optimistic. |
10. 05. 2024 11:02
10. 05. 2024 12:02 CET |
2 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): The time was okay, having one hard tyre on the car is not easy, we should have made our tyre choice better but it is what it is. It's quite damp. |
10. 05. 2024 11:02
10. 05. 2024 12:02 CET |
2 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): To be honest I felt a bad feeling in the car so I didn't expect it to be good. I need to change my style a bit and there were some surprises on the stage. Surprisingly OK stuff! |
10. 05. 2024 11:02
10. 05. 2024 12:02 CET |
2 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I was not really on it, need to find a bit more confidence. It's me mainly, the car is not so bad but I didn't find the confidence to push enough between the trees. |
10. 05. 2024 11:02
10. 05. 2024 12:02 CET |
2 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Not enjoyable, although the conditions are really good. Really damp. I struggle myself to work in the car, but I will try. It's not a good time, we are losing. There is nothing positive. |
10. 05. 2024 11:01

2 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was a really nice stage to drive, I am quite happy with my drive. I can gain in some places, the grip was quite consistent, occasionally quite tricky though. The trees can cover it sometimes and it can get damp. Really good stage though. |
10. 05. 2024 11:01
10. 05. 2024 12:01 CET |
2 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not the best feeling, struggling a little bit with the front end in some places. It was a bit more damp and slippery than expected, struggling to get the confidence in there. |

10. 05. 2024 12:01 CET |
2 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The start was good, the ending is not so good. The beginning was ok, but I lost the grip and got a bit of understeer. Towards the end I was not enjoying it so much, but the beginning felt quite okay. |

09. 05. 2024 21:00 CET |
1 | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a difficult weekend ahead, I tried to be clean. I don't know if it was too much or not. Lots of spectators around and I hope they saw something. |

09. 05. 2024 20:55 CET |
1 | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'd love to be leading the championship after this weekend. Let's see how it goes, long tough day ahead tomorrow. |
09. 05. 2024 19:55
09. 05. 2024 20:55 CET |
1 | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Sometimes you need to take risks, we are quite confident with our tyre choice and we are saving them for tomorrow. It's nice to have stages like this with the fans. |
09. 05. 2024 19:54
09. 05. 2024 20:54 CET |
1 | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It is getting more and more important [to win], but it is also important to get into the rhythm, start to feel better and have more flow. We can try and push so let's see for tomorrow. |
09. 05. 2024 19:45
09. 05. 2024 20:45 CET |
1 | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I tried to be careful on the tyres. We tried our best with what we have. |
09. 05. 2024 19:43
09. 05. 2024 20:43 CET |
1 | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We will see, I tried to enjoy it and push every stage. It was a big surprise how slippery it was but lots of fun and hopefully our tyres are okay. |
09. 05. 2024 19:42
09. 05. 2024 20:42 CET |
1 | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's not so nice, we love to drive for the fans but we need to save the tyres for tomorrow. I tried to take care in donuts. |
09. 05. 2024 19:38
09. 05. 2024 20:38 CET |
1 | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): For us it's just about grabbing experience, didn't have a lot of mileage previous years so we're trying to change that this year. Bit frustrating on the donuts for the fans, I didn't want to be too heavy for the throttle. |
09. 05. 2024 19:38
09. 05. 2024 20:38 CET |
1 | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): To make this stage I was really excited. Tomorrow is a long day and we need to do tomorrow with the same tyres, so I didn't want to use the tyres a lot. I will try to win at least. |
09. 05. 2024 19:33
09. 05. 2024 20:33 CET |
1 | (41 - Araújo Armindo / Ramalho Luís): It is fantastic, the crowd is so good and enthusiastic. We are always on the limit to do a good show for these people so it is an honour for me to be part of this party and open this event. |
09. 05. 2024 19:33
09. 05. 2024 20:33 CET |
1 | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): The plan is the proper rally starts tomorrow. This stage was fun but not for the tyres, for the fans. We need to push. Let's see tomorrow. |
09. 05. 2024 19:33
09. 05. 2024 20:33 CET |
1 | (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I will never put that side of me behind me, I'm a showman. It runs in the family! It's a shame, it's fantastic evening, fantastic people. The [artwork on the] tyres are a small joke. We need four tyres tomorrow, but a big shoutout to the fans. |
09. 05. 2024 19:32
09. 05. 2024 20:32 CET |
1 | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Difficult. You want to have fun but you need to think about the tyres. I was trying to be smooth on the roundabout, the jump was fine. Still, I was trying to be super smooth with the throttle on the roundabout - I wanted to create the smoke so the people would like it but we have to be smart. |
09. 05. 2024 19:32
09. 05. 2024 20:32 CET |
1 | (23 - López José María / Vázquez David): It was quite a good stage, let's see tomorrow. For the first part, I will just try to be confident and improving little by little will be our target. |
09. 05. 2024 19:32
09. 05. 2024 20:32 CET |
1 | (22 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): To be honest, the way the car was pitching backwards, I couldn't see the front. All OK. |
09. 05. 2024 19:31
09. 05. 2024 20:31 CET |
1 | (24 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I hit the concrete, I couldn't see where the front is going. Bit slippery, I need to investigate. |
09. 05. 2024 19:31
09. 05. 2024 20:31 CET |
1 | (29 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): It was a really nice stage, really slippery. It was not the fastest time but at least it was fun for the spectators. The real rally starts tomorrow so we will try to push and be quite fast. |

SHAKEDOWN | (24 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I hope the chances for this weekend are really good. At least the feeling is nice, it was a bit slippery on this stage but at least the feeling was nice. |
09. 05. 2024 08:34
09. 05. 2024 09:34 CET |
SHAKEDOWN | (22 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It will be a tough weekend for sure, the trickiest one of the year in terms of competition because everyone is here but it is a good chance to take points away from everyone. |
09. 05. 2024 08:32
09. 05. 2024 09:32 CET |
SHAKEDOWN | (23 - López José María / Vázquez David): We're happy to start the rally, but not the best feeling with the pace of the car. There were technical problems, but we'll take it step by step and see how it goes. |
09. 05. 2024 08:31
09. 05. 2024 09:31 CET |
SHAKEDOWN | (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): We will see, we are not collecting points here so we need to find the rhythm with the car. If it works like this, it works alright. For some parts, we are here to learn. |
09. 05. 2024 08:30
09. 05. 2024 09:30 CET |
SHAKEDOWN | (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Just don't do any donuts and I should be fine and won't have to push like the others! We'll give it a push and we'll see. |
09. 05. 2024 08:24
09. 05. 2024 09:24 CET |
SHAKEDOWN | (21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): For the moment I think it's a bit early to say I can win on gravel but let's see, the car will improve and so will the driver and co-driver. So happy to come back to Portugal, it's a nice atmosphere and the stages are crazy. If I don't play for the win, the plan is to take maximum points. |
09. 05. 2024 08:23
09. 05. 2024 09:23 CET |
SHAKEDOWN | (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Really happy to be back, especially at this rally. Everybody will say the road position does matter, but there are a lot of really fast drivers. |
09. 05. 2024 08:21
09. 05. 2024 09:21 CET |
SHAKEDOWN | (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Really looking forward to this weekend, it is a bit like Rally Italia Sardinia as a rally that everyone knows, so it is good to be here with this car. |
09. 05. 2024 08:19
09. 05. 2024 09:19 CET |
SHAKEDOWN | (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It feels nice to be back, shakedown is not the best pace for us and the car is not 100%. It's nice to be back and nice to see the fans. |
09. 05. 2024 08:19
09. 05. 2024 09:19 CET |
SHAKEDOWN | (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Pushing like hell! It will be demanding but I am very pumped. I try to do my best for the win. |
09. 05. 2024 08:18
09. 05. 2024 09:18 CET |
SHAKEDOWN | (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Two years ago I had a good start position here but we had a disaster rally, lots of punctures and nightmares. I want to correct that this year, I am happy to be here, good rally and amazing crowds. |
09. 05. 2024 08:14
09. 05. 2024 09:14 CET |
SHAKEDOWN | (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The road position is not too bad, should be okay. We need to push on. |
09. 05. 2024 08:12
09. 05. 2024 09:12 CET |
SHAKEDOWN | (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We are happy to be in Portugal, we can expect a lot of fans so we want it to be a big show. We know it is going to be a big challenge for the championship, but we will see how it goes. |
09. 05. 2024 08:11
09. 05. 2024 09:11 CET |
SHAKEDOWN | (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's going to be difficult but it is more or less the same boat for Neuville, we need to focus on ourselves and have a good clean Friday to give us an advantage. |
09. 05. 2024 08:08
09. 05. 2024 09:08 CET |
SHAKEDOWN | (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have no clue what to expect. It isn't the surface where we're the strongest, we'll see. Anything can happen, the grip isn't great. I hope the weekend is better than the first one. |
