18.01.2014 21:01 14 (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): problems with alternator
18.01.2014 20:01 14 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): We were in the cue, but it's survival for us.
18.01.2014 20:01 14 (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): stopped at the same place as Melichárek and Mikkelsen
18.01.2014 15:01 13 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It's tricky, lot of running water. Tricky also with the winter tyres. I have them on the front.
18.01.2014 15:01 12 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was difficult, also the spiked tyres didn't work like previous year, there is so much water, you have to be really careful.
17.01.2014 18:01 11 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): We have good lights so not so bad. A couple of quite slippy corners on that stage. One more day to go so hopefully tomorrow we can have a bit better pace and I can start to enjoy driving again.
17.01.2014 15:01 10 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Not the right tyres, even full snow would have been better for me than mixed. It has been a difficult rally for me. Now keep it in the middle of the road and bring it home.
17.01.2014 13:01 9 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): I am not happy with my tyre choice, winter tyres were not good.
17.01.2014 11:01 8 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): We did the whole stage with mist on the windscreen. Most of the stage it was completely blocked with the mist on the windscreen.
17.01.2014 11:01 8 (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): problems with steamed windscreen
17.01.2014 09:01 7 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Tricky, in these conditions I am really struggling a lot. Just missing the confidence when it is shiny tarmac in places.
16.01.2014 14:01 5 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was ok. It is really muddy and slippy in places. We just need to get more mileage with the car, I am just not confident with these conditions.
16.01.2014 13:01 4 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It is better tyre choice than this morning, I was a little bit more brave. Maybe I was a little too cautious, keeping it nice and neat. (4 winter tyres)
16.01.2014 08:01 2 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): I went off and got a scare from that so backed right off. I stalled the engine and had to reverse back to the road.
16.01.2014 07:01 1 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): What a start for the season. There were a few kilometres where it was snowing, unbelievably slippery in some places.
