Information
Date and time SS Information
01.08.2014 20:08 13 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): It has been an incredible experience. We have been able to show good consistent speed. But we are only Friday evening and we have two big days to go. It's been fascinating to start the day 8 seconds behind the World Champion and finish ahead of him.
01.08.2014 18:08 12 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I was so much faster than I was last year. I am faster now on the second pass, I would quite like another run at it. We keep it going and see what happens. We still have a job to do.
01.08.2014 17:08 11 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): A little bit crazy, I did not expect this. I am starting to understand this car and it is working really well. Starting to make it work. On there second pass I do not think there is much road cleaning, I don't know, it is difficult to say.
01.08.2014 16:08 10 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Really enjoying it in there. For me one of the best feelings I have ever experienced. Some really big jumps but they are nice and smooth. My car has been fantastic, just keeping the concentration and worrying about my position.
01.08.2014 15:08 9 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): It was a little bit humid in here this morning. A bit more grip and my car is working fantastically well. I'll give him a tenth to the World Champion.
01.08.2014 12:08 8 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I made a slight mistake, a junction right, 2 kms after the start. I just run wide and lost all the momentum. When you are not perfect it is impossible to do fastest time. I am totally happy, totally confident.
01.08.2014 11:08 7 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): This was the stage with the most amount of cleaner, definitely the guys in front are at a disadvantage on this one. I just want to keep processing in myself and be comfortable where I am.
01.08.2014 10:08 6 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I just slid wide on a long right corner, that is the margin at this level. What a beautiful stage. It is still not perfect and we will continue to try to be better. Every corner is a big challenge on this rally.
01.08.2014 08:08 5 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Unfortunately in the middle of the stage I got lost a little in my notes so I backed off. You have to be so careful on a new stage in Finland.
