Information
Date and time SS Information
16.10.2016 12:10 19 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): I'm quite pleased to be at the end of a rally where I feel I'm pushing and doing the right thing. I felt I put everything together here on this stage, it even felt a bit natural. I think it was my best stage in the rally.
16.10.2016 11:10 18 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): Quite a good stage. A lot better on the hard tyre. I enjoyed it.
16.10.2016 10:10 17 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): The soft tyre is absolutely not working. They overheated very, very quickly on the dry opening section. We destroyed them before the damp section at the end.
16.10.2016 10:10 16 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): A bit more difficult in the dark. A tricky stage. My first on the soft tyres but the stage was so aggressive they couldn't keep up. We got through it.
15.10.2016 18:10 15 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): I'm quite happy. It's difficult to work on [set-up] things during a rally but it seems like it's paying off.
15.10.2016 16:10 14 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): It was ok. Trying to adjust my driving a bit. It's working quite well. Not so easy. We did what we wanted to here.
15.10.2016 15:10 13 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): The previous stage was quite good. Still trying the new setup, which wasn't so great here. It should be better on the next one.
15.10.2016 11:10 11 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): I keep trying with the new driving technique. The time is not great but it felt better. Now we have to speak to the team and see if we are going in the right direction.
15.10.2016 11:10 10 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): I tried something new here but it hasn't worked.
15.10.2016 08:10 8 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): It felt not so bad. Quite a big step from yesterday. Just trying to get used to it.
14.10.2016 16:10 7 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): A tricky but enjoyable day. Of course I'm a little disappointed to have started the day with a [transmission] problem but the more I've driven with it the more used to it I have got.
14.10.2016 15:10 6 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): Ok, the road is cleaning a bit, but I have a good rhythm now and I am able to attack on all the right-hand corners.
14.10.2016 15:10 5 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): It's quite difficult. The sun is shining but it doesn't feel like it in the car. Also something feels very strange with the car. Something with the transmission. It's pulling in different directions when I accelerate and when I brake.
14.10.2016 12:10 4 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): The noise is not there anymore, so that's a good thing. The grip is still difficult to judge. I went quite well in the slippery stuff but it's difficult to trust the grip in the faster sections.
14.10.2016 11:10 3 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): We are very unlucky with the weather. The thunderstorm hit us on the previous stage and we were caught out here too. I hope the storm will go another way and not follow us to Terra Alta. The rattling noise is still there but it doesn't seem like it's doing us any harm.
14.10.2016 10:10 2 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): It's raining a lot and the wipers have no chance to keep up with the water. I have a really bad noise in the car too. It feels like something to do with the handbrake. A proper rattling.
13.10.2016 18:10 1 flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): Quite ok but I couldn't keep the engine running properly. It was dying in the hairpins and I had to use the clutch a bit. Despite that we managed quite a good stage. Tomorrow will be ok - the stages are faster.
