INFORMATION ABOUT SS 3
flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): Here was ok. The hard tyres on the front wasn't optimal but I had a good feeling. This stage we know, so it was good. I don't think about the podium too much but I just need to do my job.
flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): We had wipers stuck in the middle of the windscreen which was not ideal. I stalled as well so it was very messy from us.
flash info (24 - Domínguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): Very pleased. Our pace has been better than I expected. I lost some confidence in this last stage so I need to check on the pacenotes. It has been a tricky morning.
flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): This stage was much drier than I expected. I tried to have a good rhythm so let's see.
flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It was not easy in there. I am expecting some fight with Alejandro Cachón during the weekend. So let's see.
flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is bit slippy. We are just trying the cross as the softs are quite worn after the last stage. It was a compromise and we knew it wasn't going to be optimal. Let's see for the afternoon at least we have good knowledge of every tyre option now.
flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): There is obviously time to be made being efficient and neat and tidy. We are trying our best to get through.
flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I probably should have been on full softs. It is the way it is. We juts have to reset. the rally is still long. The grip is very low and very changeable and that is not my favourite conditions. Hopefully it should dry out a bit this afternoon and be bit better.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Obviously I made the choice to stay on the four softs. My gravel crew said the last section was really slippery. I had no front as the tyre were overheating and the braking was not very efficient. On the grease we were able to catch back some time. It was a bit of a compromise. The balance is quite ok we also know on the softs we find more confidence in the car than the hard. The rally is still very long. The afternoon loop will be a hell of a ride.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The last one there was not much we could do as the middle section was full of mud. There is still along way to go. We will put maximum pressure now on Elfyn.
flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It was better than the previous but still quite tricky., It seems like Elfyn did a really good stage in there. Nothing is lost. We need to keep pushing. There was rain overnight and it is so deep in the forest that it is not really drying up.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The feeling was a bit better in this one. It was ok. It is not easy the conditions. There are some high grip and then you can be very surprised by one corner. It is a proper Rally Japan.
flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): There was deer in the straight and I had to slow down and lost a little bit of time. I lost all the confidence as I didn't know if there was going to be more deer.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was damp but there was no information in the notes. How can I drive like this?
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The start was lot better and it was full dry. This end part was very greasy and very difficult to judge the grip.
(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): was out of road
