Information
Date and time SS Information
08.02.2014 15:02 24 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): That is absolutely fantastic! I really hoped coming into my home event achieving this great result is more than I could have dreamed of. We are so extremely happy.
08.02.2014 14:02 23 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Mads Ostberg was starting to push and we had to answer. We just keep a good rhythm and get some new tyres on now.
08.02.2014 13:02 22 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): No problem, just a little bit too careful. Two stages to go, we will see. Mads Ostberg is putting on the pressure, we need to step it up.
08.02.2014 11:02 20 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Very tricky, the grip changing all the time. We try to not take any big risks.
08.02.2014 09:02 18 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Front right strut is broken, car is smoking. It is quite ok, I was cutting too much inside.
08.02.2014 09:02 18 (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): smoking car
08.02.2014 08:02 17 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): We took it quite careful here, try to stay in the lines. Tricky conditions here.
07.02.2014 19:02 16 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Its a long day tomorrow, still a lot to fight for.
07.02.2014 16:02 15 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): It has been a good day, we have driving quite smart and avoiding all the rocks.
07.02.2014 15:02 14 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Nothing is wrong, clean stage, try to keep the pressure on without taking any risks. When you can fight for the win, you want to try.
07.02.2014 15:02 13 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): I try to keep some pressure but I am driving around every stone I see in the line. I am trying to take care of the tyres.
07.02.2014 13:02 12 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Water temperature is high, I dont know why. I have to get moving.
07.02.2014 11:02 11 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Its been a good morning, we are still in the fight for the lead. I am happy with my morning. It is so easy to make a mistake, we had a clean stage, not drama.
07.02.2014 11:02 10 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): We went out in a ditch in 4th or 5th gear and filled the whole front with snow. We were keeping up with Jari-Matti (Latvala) until then.
07.02.2014 10:02 10 (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): was out of road
07.02.2014 10:02 9 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): We took some new tyres and I think it was the right choice. This rally is all about tyres. I am trying to balance it, before I have been too eager in these situations. There is still room for improvements but then you start taking risks.
07.02.2014 08:02 8 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): So much loose snow in there. We started with used tyres on the rear. We did a good stage. Very tricky conditions, it is easy to do a mistake.
06.02.2014 17:02 7 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): We could have used good tyres, but we decided to use used tyres instead. I prefer now to lose a little bit in here and have good tyres tomorrow morning. It is a long rally and that is what we have to think about.
06.02.2014 15:02 6 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): We are in the lead. It was a good stage, I thought I had a puncture in the beginning, but the grip came back. I was a little worried for a second.
06.02.2014 15:02 5 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): I did a mistake in there, I was in the lose for one or two seconds in there. I went a bit wide and I was stuck in the lose, but my mistake. I feel good.
06.02.2014 13:02 4 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): It was nice stage for us. It was really good fun, I really enjoyed the stage especially when it is in Norway. I am happy with the stage.
06.02.2014 12:02 3 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): This stage was not easy, very mickey mouse. Suddenly I lose all the grip some time.
06.02.2014 11:02 2 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Clean stage, nice to get a clean run in the first proper stage. Of course things can improve on the driving.
05.02.2014 20:02 1 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): I cannot complain with that, I felt very rusty in the first couple of corners, but it was better after that.
