INFORMATION ABOUT SS 2
flash info (28 - Arai Hiroki / Tachikui Hiroki): It is always every year I haven't been using Hankook so it is just about getting used to the tyres again. It is hard to push but Ilm still learning. It is hard to judge the grip.
flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): It was really tricky. I had a small half spin at a junction and I lost a couple of seconds there. There was no feeling in the car in slippy and damp conditions.
flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): Obviously there was too much hesitation. I took it very carefully in the forest. It is very risky. We will keep pushing.
flash info (24 - Domínguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): It was tricky in the beginning but it was better in the final section. We were lacking confidence in the dry sections. I need to work on the set up and the soft was overheating at the end of the stage
flash info (23 - Lindholm Emil / Morales Gabriel): It was a struggle in there. We are not getting any rhythm and the gip is changing all the time. I am more or less just surviving. I'm sure the seconds are there but if you can't trust the pacenotes it is not going to happen. But we are through.
flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): It feels really bad. It is really tricky and in some places it is slippery and in others the grip is quite good. I had not really good pacenotes. It is tricky.
flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I was struggling like hell but maybe when the tyres are the same for everyone it seems like it is working good. I just drove safe.
flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is crazy. I just can't turn. We will keep going.
flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is obviously very slippy. I was trying to drive neat and tidy at the beginning. It was tricky coming down the hill. Tough stage, It is one of the stages that is evolving with the pollution being dragged out. It is our first time through and there is a million corners.
flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It was really difficult with the hard tyre, I expected it to dry out quicker than this but there is shade under the trees. It is hard on brakes, tyres and everything.
(20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): clips a bank
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is getting more and more dirty. Honestly I had a good run but I cannot keep the apex in many places so I have understeer on the exit and it is penalising me a lot.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It is start position...
flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): No it didn't feel that slow. We had quite many surprises and it was not so easy to find a proper push. Nothing is lost. It was very tricky.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We had a spin in the stage at one hairpin so we lost some time there but it is not 35 second clearly. I have no grip or balance in the car. We had a dry set up and I would have expected to dry a bit more. It is how it is. It is ver very bad start for us. It is a long rally.
(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): spun
flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was very slippy and I was just too careful. I tried to have a go but I was too slow throughout. I could have pushed much more. It was very tricky.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I have no confidence to trust the pacenotes.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was fine. It was difficult to judge the grip again. I tried to carry speed but it is hard to know.
