Information
Date and time SS Information
05.10.2014 12:10 18 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Some of the stages and loops were pretty good so we can be pretty happy. Little things to learn with the tyres, a little bit lost with the setup to start. I think Elfyn has been in a good place all weekend. It is really nice that we can fight for second place in the manufacturers title.
05.10.2014 11:10 17 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It felt pretty good, but the time is not so good. Not enough. Just concentrate on the last stage and see if we can get any points from there.
05.10.2014 08:10 16 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): We had really mixed information from the safety crew and I am not sure we made the right tyres choice for this one, also a little bit fog on the fast section. There is only one section that is damp so the hard tyres would have been good.
05.10.2014 07:10 15 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It is ok but I am not so happy with the time. I am on four hards tyres.
04.10.2014 18:10 14 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was ok, but it is always tricky when you start with cold tyres, you are not sure about the grip levels, so I am not so happy about the time. We all want fourth place and we are all going to fight for it.
04.10.2014 15:10 13 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It is really tricky and narrow and slippy. The car started to feel a bit funny, really at the end of the stage so it did not cause problems.
04.10.2014 13:10 12 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): I did not like that stage so much. The fast section on top was really dirty. I could not fight back on this one.
04.10.2014 13:10 11 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It’s good, I really enjoyed. The first part was absolutely perfect, I just hope I can keep it up. I did not change anything.
04.10.2014 10:10 10 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): I am surprised it did not feel like the last stage. I know our car is stiffer than Elfyn and Robert. I was a little bit surprised we lost so much time.
04.10.2014 09:10 9 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Not a big fan when it is high speed tarmac with big fast corners, I am hesitating a bit.
04.10.2014 09:10 8 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): I had some hesitation, the grip was a lot better than I was expecting, I could have been a lot braver. It could have been better.
03.10.2014 20:10 7 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Second half of the day was really good, I was a lot happier with the car setup and got more use to the tyres as well. Hopefully tomorrow I can keep the pace and take the fight to the boys.
03.10.2014 15:10 6 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Morning was really difficult but now the afternoon was a lot better. Some of the posts are not there like they were on the recce so they start to cut and the roads are a little bit dirty. In general the car is a little bit stiffer and the balance is a lot more better now.
03.10.2014 15:10 5 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It is a lot better, much better. Sometimes a bit too aggressive for this tyre and it starts to overheat. A lot better than in the morning.
03.10.2014 14:10 4 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Little bit slippy on one junction, just a bit wide. I have a little bit more confidence with the tyres.
03.10.2014 10:10 3 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was really tricky, some big stones which they have used to block the roads have been moved. Car is moving so much, I am struggling to have a good rhythm. It’s tricky.
03.10.2014 10:10 2 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Not so strongly, but starting to understand the tyres. The rear tyres are overheating a lot and sliding in places.
03.10.2014 09:10 1 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Not a good start, when you make a small mistake you lose a lot of time. Now we have to wake up and start to drive.
