Information
Date and time SS Information
18.01.2014 21:01 15 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): It's been a really tricky event. There were stages we did with studded tyres for example, so huge experience. We are happy to be here.
18.01.2014 21:01 15 (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): overtaking Jaroslav Melichárek
18.01.2014 20:01 14 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Melicharek was stuck up un the corner and couldn't move. There was so much snow...
18.01.2014 20:01 14 (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): stopped at the same place as Melichárek
18.01.2014 15:01 13 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): We have studs on the rear so we were sliding around, but we enjoyed that.
18.01.2014 15:01 12 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Not easy, we need to be very careful. We were going slowly, not doing anything silly.
17.01.2014 18:01 11 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): We were having a good run but it was my mistake, basically it was just ice in the last stage. This stage, we went careful, very tricky stage. Now I am just really really careful, easy to catch someone out in there. The tarmac was so so dirty.
17.01.2014 15:01 10 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): In a very slow left hand corner, I felt I was going really slow. We drove a lot on ice yesterday, but this grip level was completely different. We let Jari-Matti Latvala through later.
17.01.2014 15:01 10 (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): was out of road
17.01.2014 14:01 10 (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): stopped in stage, continue
17.01.2014 13:01 9 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Not sure about the tyre choice as there was a lot of mud in there. Not an easy stage, we were sliding all over the place.
17.01.2014 11:01 8 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Very very tricky, now running with cross tyres. The conditions are all changing all the time. The last place there is so shiny, very easy to make a mistake.
17.01.2014 09:01 7 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Tricky conditions, so much shiny tarmac. We were a little bit behind Melichárek for a while, difficult to see with all the water splash. I hope for three minutes gap in next stages.
17.01.2014 09:01 7 (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): overtaken Jaroslav Melichárek after 34 km
16.01.2014 14:01 5 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Not easy that is for sure. We just want to get experience. Not so much I can do when it is like this, just keep it in the lines.
16.01.2014 14:01 4 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): We have snow tyres now and it makes a difference. Now it was completely nice. I have to adjust my pace notes, we have snow in the notes and there is no snow. (4 winter tyres without studs)
16.01.2014 08:01 2 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Very very tough start to the year. We take it very careful, I done this rally before and went off after four stages so I have to drive accordingly. We learn it kilometre by kilometre. I have to drive really safely.
16.01.2014 08:01 1 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): That was absolutely terrible, I have never done anything like that before. It is not easy to start the stage with ice and slicks. Suddenly the ice comes without anything in the pace notes. We take it very careful.
