Information
Date and time SS Information
18.01.2014 21:01 15 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I tried to push, but there was a lot of water on the road. Also there was a fog in the beginning and we had only three lights working. It was really tough rally, for the first time we did it without SupeRally, so I'm happy.
18.01.2014 20:01 14 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): There was spo much snow, I don't know if I could go through without 4WD car.
18.01.2014 16:01 13 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I thought this stage would be OK, but the grip was changing all the time. I had a moment in the end in the standing water, we touched a wall with the bumper.
18.01.2014 15:01 12 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Going uphill was very nice, the second part was much worse than I expected. It was horrible to drive, there was so much standing water.
17.01.2014 18:01 11 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I enjoy, it was a nice stage, nice run. It was tricky, nice twisty, level places. Nothing too extreme.
17.01.2014 15:01 10 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Maybe the wrong choice, but there is a lot of water in places. I think Andreas maybe went wide in one of the places and hit something. It has been a frustrating afternoon, after the puncture, we have to drive on this stage with 3 winter tyres and 1 slick.
17.01.2014 13:01 9 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): At the beginning on the stage, on a right hander, I did not see on the corner exit there was an access road and a sharp edge. I touch with the wheel and we lost maybe two minutes. It was really tricky.
17.01.2014 13:01 9 (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): puncture
17.01.2014 11:01 8 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It is not enjoyable at all. A lot of rain, a lot of water on the road. We have winter tyre cross, without this it would have been a disaster. The time is very good, but a lot of standing water, very difficult to enjoy. Sometimes it is a hard day in the office.
17.01.2014 09:01 7 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Absolutely horrible stage and the black top is so so slippery.
16.01.2014 14:01 5 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Very dirty stage, many slippy places. Now everything is ok, the tyres are right and it is a good feeling. We have been running the snow tyre and it has been so dirty, so muddy and I think it is the right choice.
16.01.2014 13:01 4 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The feeling is better, we change the setup of the car. It was really nice to drive with these tyres on the stage, the tyres were working well. I feel a bit more confident now.
16.01.2014 10:01 3 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Frustrated, lack of traction for me and not able to get the confidence or the speed.
16.01.2014 08:01 2 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Now it was good stage. The car felt good. Ice patches on the stage and then at the end it will get a little bit dirty. It was starting to get very wet. For me it was black top black ice which was the problem.
16.01.2014 07:01 1 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I saw Neuville off the road, less than 6 kms after the start. After that is was difficult to find the rhythm, I drove very slow after that. I have not driven the car in these conditions. But I have to come to the finish, I crash on these conditions last year.
