Information
Date and time SS Information
27.10.2013 14:10 14 retired (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): technical problem - suspension after SS 14
27.10.2013 14:10 14 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): On this one, after 10kms I hit something on the straight line and the steering was bent. To go in a straight line I need to hold the steering wheel to the right. This should be okay, I just worry about the tyres.
27.10.2013 13:10 13 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): I changed the tyres compound for this loop and I think that I made a mistake.
27.10.2013 11:10 12 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): We just went slightly off, we were lucky as we did not get stuck. A little bit aggressive on the notes. Its ok, not so happy with the last stage.
27.10.2013 10:10 11 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): It was a tricky stage, but our notes were perfect. Starting later works to our advantage. I’m very happy with the result. It is a good rhythm, it is hard to see some times with the dust. Really precise notes, I am really happy with my recce, just one more stage then service.
27.10.2013 08:10 10 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): The stage went fine. I’m trying to enjoy myself after yesterday’s mechanical problems. I’ll try to do some mileage and avoid problems for the rest of the leg. A good start in the morning, we have nothing to lose. A clean stage for us, so much dust in the car, so hard to see… we left the vent open so my mistake. We are coming from tarmac, so some still some adjustments to make.
