Information
Date and time SS Information
08.02.2014 15:02 24 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Silly mistake this morning, could have been a 6th place and is 11th. To get within a second or two of Seb Ogier is nice too. Delighted for the team and just sorry for my mistake.
08.02.2014 14:02 23 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): The conditions have not been true Sweden rally, but the experience has been invaluable for me.
08.02.2014 13:02 22 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Full gravel this time. Ok, that's it, you cannot pick and chose where you go off. I was trying to be so neat and tidy.
08.02.2014 09:02 19 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I did not feel that confident in here, I did not put that much energy into the car. It's one of the first time I've been off the road on the inside of the corner in the last stage.
08.02.2014 09:02 18 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): We were thing it really steady, I did not go off on the outside, I got sucked in on the inside. Half the car was on the road. We only dropped the front wheels off the road.
08.02.2014 09:02 18 (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): was out of the road
08.02.2014 09:02 18 (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): stopped in stage, continue
08.02.2014 08:02 17 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Very tricky here this morning, wet slushy snow on top. I was really really cautious. I am concentrating on my job.
07.02.2014 19:02 16 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Very tricky stage here, this bit of snow has made it very slippery on top. Very happy, nice and consistent, but still learning a lot. More of the same tomorrow.
07.02.2014 16:02 15 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): We were aquaplaning a bit in there. Happy with today, good progression, I am happy with my time.
07.02.2014 15:02 14 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Kubica has run wide, spectators are trying to get him out. This is more like a Wales Rally GB on studs. May have to come back next year to find out how to drive on snow.
07.02.2014 14:02 13 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): The grip was consistent, any sign of white on the road and it is like hitting black ice. One junction we overshot.
07.02.2014 13:02 12 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Kubica just off on the left over a sharp crest in a snow bank. More like Rally GB, full gravel. We hit one massive rock, they are appearing and you can't see them.
07.02.2014 11:02 11 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): There is something wrong with the car, we have to go.
07.02.2014 10:02 10 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Its a different challenge today, a lot of gravel coming through. I am learning how to drive. It can be lethal the grip at times but I am just trying to get through.
07.02.2014 09:02 9 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Some really nice sections. I just had a feeling of lack of confidence in here. I think the gravel is starting to appear, I kept braking very early in here. I cannot let myself trust the conditions in here.
07.02.2014 08:02 8 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): There is gravel coming through, the big challenge there is grip, there are two railway lines coming through and absolutely none grip out of that. You have to follow the line to get round.
06.02.2014 17:02 7 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): To be honest you cannot expect much more. With this rally you have to take your time, you have to gain mileage. It has been getting better and better all day.
06.02.2014 15:02 6 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): It was good, but it was a learning experience for me understanding where the road deteriorates.
06.02.2014 15:02 5 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): A bit more grip, it is getting down to the mud and gravel in places. It's a tricky, tricky stage.
06.02.2014 13:02 4 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I am not worried about the time. That is the most fantastic experience. From the recce it has changed so much. I think that is just so fantastic. I feel like a child at Christmas.
06.02.2014 12:02 3 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Really tricky stage, so easy to make a mistake and it has changed such a lot since the recce.
06.02.2014 11:02 2 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): There was a little bit of snow on the road, but it offered some good grip. I am sure it will clean for the guys behind. I want to concentrate and enjoy it, if I enjoy it the times will get better.
05.02.2014 20:02 1 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Its going to be a big learning curve, I am just going to enjoy it and anything in the top 10 would be a good result.
