Date and time SS Information
27.10.2013 14:10 14 (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): flames from the bonnet in finish
27.10.2013 13:10 13 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I am happy with the stage. It was cleaner than in the first pass. I made a mistake in a few places, but for the moment it goes well.
27.10.2013 11:10 12 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The cleaning effect is bigger than I expected, but all I can do is drive from the front. Still 3 stages to go.
27.10.2013 10:10 11 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): At the moment it looks like Sordo is coming pretty well. I was struggling with the sun it was coming with my eyes. Even I had some problem with the dust through the sun. I had problems with the car in some hill jumpings, and the sun in the face bothered me, but it was the same for all of us.
27.10.2013 08:10 10 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The first stage of the day was complex. I still had not warmed up, and I’m still trying to find my pace. From now on it’s time to push. I am positive, full attack on the position and then we see where we are. It is slippy in places but it was not as bad as I thought it would be. There are some concrete places where the braking is difficult.
26.10.2013 18:10 9 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): This is the most difficult stage of the rally so far, very slippy places. A new challenge, coming from the tarmac going to the gravel is not going to be easy. I hope the weather will give me support tomorrow, a little bit of moisture.
26.10.2013 12:10 8 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I should have been quicker now. Sordo won't be first on the road, he will slow down. I hope the weather is on my side, I need a bit of luck with the weather.
26.10.2013 11:10 7 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I was pushing very hard to be honest. Was a good rhythm, a good feeling. I lost a bit on the start and on the new tarmac. Good battle, really happy. The temperature is getting higher so there is more understeering, it is warmer for the tyres.
26.10.2013 10:10 6 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): With Ogier's problem it makes a new aspect for the rally. It will be interesting and he did not lost so much. I try to keep going with the same speed.
26.10.2013 09:10 5 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It is an impressive stage. Good stage I really enjoyed it. There is new tarmac after 15 kilometres and you have it for 8 or 9 kilometres, I did not drive well there.
26.10.2013 08:10 4 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Lets try stage by stage. At the end of the day we see where we are, then we concentrate on the gravel. We do not have a team strategy, we just keep driving.
25.10.2013 23:10 3 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It's been a good evening, no big mistakes. This one, the last of the loop was nice. I think I had a good run, I could have been slightly faster.
25.10.2013 22:10 2 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I have got a bit of leeway, I was a bit careful in this special stage.
25.10.2013 20:10 1 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was good start, good feeling with the car. The spectators were throwing stones at the windscreen of the car, fortunately there is not much damage. I dont like these things, people need to remember that there are people in the car when they throw the stones.
