INFORMATION ABOUT SS 11
flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): Of course it is difficult for everyone with the temperatures and the tyres are screaming. I tried to be smooth at the beginning. It didn't work so well at the end. the time wasn't bad so it is ok. I will keep focussed and not think about the podium.
flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): I wanted to push on this one but honestly I messed up a couple of places. In the last part it was so difficult to see with the shadows so I guessed.
flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): In the end it felt really difficult to drive. I was not full attack and in as in the beginning I went wide in a place, I caught a ditch and I was not sure if I had a puncture. It was not super nice.
flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): To be honest I'm trying everything and I'm fighting with the car all the time I don't know why. I'm struggling a lot. I'm pushing like hell but it is difficult.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): No way not in control of this rally yet. There is far too much driving to do. It looks like a great time form Sami by the looks of it. It can always be better clearly.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I struggled with the light it was really terrible at the of the stage and that is the way it is.
flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): At least this was really nice. It was super clean and ok.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Honestly I am driving the limit of the front. We had many changes and when we went stiff on the rear it went the wrong way. I am happy with my stage. The handbrake was working until the last 3km then I lost it.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is ok. It would be nice to catch Sami [Pajari] but I need to think about the tyres and everything. I'm not sure to push more or not.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The feeling is quite reduced because the tyres are floating on the top of the surface. I'm sure the tyres and the brakes are overheating.
flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): The last 5km coming down the hill we have no tyre at all. It is all about tyre management. I think we managed ok but it is tricky.
flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was good. There was some good steps forward with the set up. It was maybe the first stage where the rhythm felt a bit normal. We are making good progress. This is part of the game and we are learning all the time. It is good we are advancing.
flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is still difficult. It is quite a demanding stage for the tyres. Our brakes are not great after the last one. It is so demanding. we had a bit of a moment and then I decided to back off a bit as it is not worth risking it.
