Information
Date and time SS Information
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.
